[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]F the patriarchy and the expectation that I work FT and handle every family obligation and holiday.

To those who say don’t do it, well you’re depriving your kids of normal holiday rituals. You’ll also be sacrificing your marriage since the societal expectation is that as a woman you create a nice home life. If you don’t go along with this, you’ll struggle to have friends and your DH might replace you.

It’s a scam and the only solution is to NOT HAVE CHILDREN, which plenty of young women have realized. [/quote]

If Easter was important to me I would have married a Christian man who wanted to celebrate it. I don't get upset about not celebrating holidays that mean nothing to me and I don't raise my kids with expectations that they will receive gifts for holidays we don't celebrate.[/quote]

Then this post isn’t for you. You don’t celebrate Easter.

DP This post does raise the topic of [b]whether celebrating Easter a certain way is a requirement for being a good parent. [/b]

Specifically:

Easter themed candy (as determined by one spouse) = good parenting
Non-Easter themed candy (as determined by one spouse) = bad parenting[/quote]

Honestly, anyone who wants to fight that fight is being a dick. I hope you can hear yourself. [/quote]

Fight the fight of mandatory Easter themed packaging? Definitely not something to fight about. Agreed. [/quote]

You're trying to be clever, I get it. OP's husband acted like a jerk. Was OP also out of line? Sure, but then it's clearer that he acted out of spite by choosing candy that no kid would want. Some of you must be in really unhappy marriages that you think this situation is ok. [/quote]

Kids in my family and many acquaintances prefer the candy he purchased. They must be lying, because your hyperbole sounds very convincing.
