[quote=Anonymous]It was Easter yesterday, not her birthday or Mother’s Day. When I was a young adult without kids of my own, Easter was another day. I did nothing to celebrate it or acknowledge it. It didn’t even cross my mind. I had very special memories of it growing up because it involved hiding eggs, finding baskets, and lots of candy. I now acknowledge Easter because I have kids and it’s a holiday that is fun for kids. It has no religious significance to me. It says a lot about the OP that she expects someone else to fulfill her emotional needs. This is not about reciprocity. This is the OP being disappointed because her adult child isn’t living her life according to the OP’s values around Easter and how she thinks it should be acknowledged. This type of behavior breeds resentment. Just accept that Easter is not a big deal for your adult child. It doesn’t have anything to do with you. [/quote]
