In being upset about Easter?

[Hayls]

I made a big fuss over this easter as it's the first one we've spent at home since dd (3) was born (normally visit family). Made Easter cookies yesterday, helped dd decorate an Easter bonnet to wear today, made boiled eggs to decorate to roll down a hill somewhere, arranged days out for the weekend and bought easter eggs for everybody (including dh who has a milk allergy! and MIL who is visiting for the weekend). Have just made breakfast for everbody (inlcuding a boiled egg for dd in her new princess egg cup ) but dh hasn't even bought me a creme egg .

So aibu in getting wound up about this or is it just life?

I'm not religious but still like to use the holiday (rather like Christmas) for some family time and yes maybe some chocolate eating time too. Nowt wrong with that. Have bought myself some champagne truffle eggs as a treat (yum yum) and will enjoy them later. No dp for me but unfortunately men can often be inconsiderate arses, tell him next year, or buy yourself something!

All sorted now . THink I was feeling a bit stressed and put upon generally and the lack of chocolate sent me over the edge! We had a bit of a heated discussion earlier (not just over chocolate!) and have resolved everything now and he's even just brought the washing in from the line without me asking . All is hunky dory, especially because we did an egg hunt for dd and hid some mini creme eggs inside them and I ate 5 of them .

Oh and dh promised to buy me an Easter egg next year- I asked for a Flake one and he muttered something about 'that being appropriate'... don't know what he means!

Agree with you Little Sarah, I see it as a good opportunity for us to spend time together as a family and have fun. TBH, I wasn't just fussed over chocolate foods but I think that's clear now.

I know my dh is useless when it comes to buying things for me. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't care or doesn't appreciate me.

I buy my own easter eggs and presents (with his money) and give them to him to give to me. Life is far easier that way. And I never forget my own birthday

be happy your dh is wiht ya...I am sure he loves you, surely that is what counts...not a bloody chocolate egg or the lack of one, sigh!

i ate two thirds of a thorntons easter egg last night. am very impressed with my staying power. oh and half a flake one today.

We didn't even buy dd an egg this year. How bad is that? She's 11 and I did ask her what one she wanted when we were in Sainsburys and she said 'Oh, I don't know really'. So I figured she wasn't bothered, so why bother! We're not big choclate eater either, so I have always ended up making ricecrispy cakes with them by June!
