My husband doesn’t want to take her to see the Easter bunny because “she doesn’t know who WE are let alone a mythical bunny”.
I get that.
But it’s our first chance to put together a holiday festivity for our first kid and it was something I wanted to do. Note we are not religious so it is truly just a little holiday fun.
Planning to take her myself but a little disappointed. Valid?

Have you tried telling your husband how this is important to you? It doesn’t matter if the baby knows who the Easter bunny is. It’s not for the baby. It’s making a family memory for you and your husband.
A bit. He is the least sentimental person I have ever met and did not have a lot of traditions growing up.
Meanwhile my dad cries over birthday cards and celebrates every minor holiday with enthusiasm (think Groundhog Day, flag day, etc).
When we got married my husband was so excited to start a family full of the traditions he never had.. but won’t go see the stupid bunny.

My partner is the same way and it’s sooo frustrating. Like can we just get out of the house and do something fun sure she won’t remember but well create memories to look back on

This is similar to my partner he didn’t celebrate holidays growing up or traditions so he doesn’t see the point in it. Meanwhile holidays for me were the most special time of the year and brought me so much happiness so I want my child to experience that as well

Unpopular opinion, he doesn’t have to go 😂. Take the baby on your own! Go with another friend that has a kiddo! He will be jealous he missed out on the experience/moment. Doubt he will miss next time. 😬
100% will!
He doesn’t have to. I just wish he wanted to.

We went with grandma instead of dad!

We took my son for his first Easter to meet the Easter bunny bc we knew the next couple he’d probably be fussing and not wanting to sit still for a good picture . We are not religious either but we celebrate a lot of the more popular holidays and my husband always says we do more for our son than his family did growing up and he likes it it’s just different for him. For Xmas his family had the 4 gift rule and for Easter they each got 1 candy bar and I on the hand fill eggs and make up the whole basket of stuff and definitely go extra for Xmas since we only have 1 kid
