Our kid is vegetarian. I have an early hockey game. She’s on a diet.
WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS?!?!
We do a ton of fun stuff as a family that we all enjoy. But if Hallmark makes a card for it, she’s got this 1950’s fantasy in her head, and the rest of us just have to go along or deal with the emotional fallout for days.

Gifts for the kid today? I don't know when it happened or why but Easter is now a second Christmas. It has become a big gift giving holiday and it just seems so stupid.
