Is it just my partner ?

Easter and Christmas are commercialised. Birthdays does he spoil them?
So when my LG was 1 we only got 1 bday and Xmas present. She had so much already and got so much from family and as she didn't understand didn't want to overdo it. 2 was different we did overdo it a little more even though she didn't understand fully. This year she will be 3 and will only understand more. We put extra money in the joint account to account for presents. We don't completely overdo it but we do spoil. Easter I'm not planning to get her a tonne of things, it is commercialised but again will be doing an Easter egg hunt and this will come from our joint. Yes they are commercialised but for me it's all about their joy.
Easter is for Easter eggs. I don’t get people doing these ‘Easter bags’ full of clothes/toys etc. Christmas and birthdays we definitely spoil them ☺️
I'm petty so don't take my advice. My other half has the same sentiments but will do it for our LG because it's not about him and how he feels it's about her. Now to the petty... If he doesn't want to be involved or buy presents, he's not invited to the occasion. Easter/Christmas I'd send my partner away like all day if you don't want to be a part of it and see your child's face light up then you won't be involved for that day period. If he protests then he can step up to the occasion.
