    I just cannot relate. I have never done nor felt pressured to do any of this for my kids. We also do minimal Christmas gifts. They’re school-aged now, too, so it’s not because they’re babies or toddlers. They don’t seem to care, either.

      Yeah I did not realize this was a copy paste from US lifestyle. When I was a youngling I did Easter egg hunts in the house and gifts from santa and family.

        I’m in the US and don’t know a single parent doing anything like the social media baits in the article. They just get a lot of views and the media portrays it as if “everyone” is doing it.
