This is gonna be our first father's day together
Anyway, I bought my ex (on behalf of the kids, we have 2 together) a watch & a couple of polo shirts...his favorite for fd. I spent just under $100 not an outrageous amount right?

WRONG. Dh flipped when I showed him the receipts (because he wanted to see them) and told me to never "do that stupid shit again, especially for that dickhead."

I think he's jealous because HE'S not a dad. Nothing I can do about that, buddy. Besides I spend MY money however the fuck I want.


Am I right or am I right?

I can't believe how many of you are making this such a big deal. Dh did get s baseball glove, bat & jersey . Granted, those were bday gifts (his bday was yesterday) so it's not like he's left out. I honestly don't see why he would get a strictly fattr's day gift. He's NOT THEIR DAD & we've only been.married 10 months. My girls are 10 & 13, not babies. That's hardly enough time to establish a step dad/ step kids bond.

THE GIRLS CHOSE THOSE GIFTS FOR THEIR DAD. I obviously provided the money. And please, don't tell me I spent way too much. $100 may be a lot to you but NOT for me. Why is that so difficult to understand? You women are hilarious to think that just because I remarried, the girls should downsize on what they get their dad. And, it's funny how only a handful of you noticed that dh namecalling ex was utterly disrespectful, for the kids sake. I definately see a double standard.here.

Dh and I talked, after we both piped down and now he sees that he overreacted and apologized.

You spent 100 bucks on an EX? Id be pissed to.

You are wrong. Something small that your children picked out and a card is appropriate since you are remarried.

I personally wouldn't have gotten more than a card or had the children make him something.

You were wrong. A card, and maybe a small gift would have been fine, but no way should you have spent that kind of money on your ex, regardless of who's money it was. It's like rubbing your dh's face in the fact he's not a father, and your ex is. I don't blame him for flipping out. He has every right to.
