Does anyone else partner say family events and holidays are useless cause small children won’t remember them? Recently we went out to Easter for egg hunting and he said why go to these things when our children won’t remember it. Also said that he didn’t really care about holidays with us. Last Christmas was my daughter first Christmas and he didn’t get her anything, I had suggested him make her something and never did. I asked him to get me a $1 card and he said he couldn’t afford it. He always tells me to lower my expectations but how much lower do they need to go?

You don't need to lower your expectations, but you might need to consider finding someone who respects and cherishes you and your daughter.
I unbeatable the idea that the kids wont remember it, but it's good to set traditions so as the years go on and they WILL remember it, they'll have fond memories. They'll also enjoy themselves through these events, and their emotions help to grow their overall personality and demeanor. So NOT doing fun things can also take out some of that joy that get would experience
