I've been divorced for a couple years, my ex is remarried, and my fiance lives with the kids (6 and 8) and myself. I have always faithfully taken the kids to pick out xmas, birthday and father's day gifts for their dad....sometimes we just make him something special. I think this is an important thing to teach the children and I think it should be taught by us parents. My ex doesnt' do the same in return, nor does he even remind my children to say Happy Birthday or whatever (my fiance has started doing this recently) He doesnt bother to find out if someone else is taking care of it. His birthday just passed and for the 1st time the kids and I got him nothing. I dont' feel this is right, but I'm trying to make a point to him (which I dont' think is working). Do I buy him a father's day gift and be the better person, or just leave it up to someone in his family to go out of their way to do it(he and his family hate my fiance, but I have no prob with his wife).
