I am in the same boat with my husbands family not liking me too, thinking I'm not good enough to parent his 3 kids that aren't even mine...when I'm the one who stepped up and stepped in when their mom left...if u need to talk message me ❤️

I so understand how you're feeling. The postpartum depression/anxiety has now made it impossible for me to even leave my house without severe panic attacks occurring first. I missed so much work & my husband is great with our son but I swear he just doesn't get PPD. He must ask me 50 times a day "what's wrong" like my emotional state has changed. To top it off I just had to change my antidepressants so I'm right back at the beginning until the new Med gets in my system. Don't worry about an Easter basket... easter isn't even about a silly bunny anyways!! If you're like me you're barely able to deal with daily life much less some commercial holiday that simply is another reason for people to go waste money. Spend the day having quality family time and tell the naysayers that last u read Jesus hadn't left a basket full of colored eggs behind when they rolled the rock away from his tomb...lol

Easter isn't about toys or eggs hide some of the toys for your kids and help them find the toys kids like that kind of playing time

@gherianeulysse, I don't have a pump and my milk is dried up

Pump. Same hormones are released

Hey your not alone I'm a mom of three boys and pregnant they get to enjoy some egg hunting but I'm not doing Easter baskets and my sister in law and brother in law came over talking to the boys about the Easter bunny and what he's bringing and I'm not giving them gifts from the bunny this year. They don't care they don't really even care about the bunny they are just happy to be seeing their grandparents as that's all they get to see. Just remember this day only lasts for a minute and then they have an entire year to even care again. Smiles and hugs momma.

Eff them, who cares. They aren't raising your kids. Assholes

@beebaby, thanks it just sucks that my husbands whole family thinks I'm a terrible parent and it's hard knowing they want his to divorce me I just want to crawl in a hole and never come out

@gherianeulysse, I can't breast feed because I have to be on blood thinners

Please don't stress yourself out about them getting Easter stuff. I hate the materialistic pressures we're in for every holiday now. What's important is that they are fed, have a roof over their heads and know and feel they are loved. Anyone else who misses that point can kick rocks with their teeth.

Try breastfeeding for the post partum depression

Your a great mother, your kids dont need Easter stuff because they have no clue what it even. They don't know they are missing anything. If your kids are fed and taken care of then your doing your job
