[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]

Just stop. You don't have to get peeps. You DO have to get candy the kids will like and be happy to receive. And mom knew payday and hersheys with almonds weren't it. The dad should have known that too. OR he was being a passive aggressive dick. Either way, not a good look for dad. Esp for such a minimal ask.[/quote]
