His new wife. I have a stepson and I will be the one buying my husband's fathers day gift from him...the mother of my stepson is too much of a witch to even think of it.

So, the father is probably not your favorite person in the world, but you need to remember that he is still your child's father. Be the bigger person, and help your child by taking him/her to buy a little something for dad. It doesn't have to be expensive, and could be just a card.
Your child will always remember that you tried to do the right thing by encouraging a loving relationship between him/her and dad. It will be appreciated, and you child will learn that, although you and dad are no longer together, you both still love the child enough that you want him/her to have a happy relationship with the other parent.

I don't think it really matters since it's a present that represents a child's love for their dad, and nothing more. Even if he remarried, it's still right to take the kid to buy a present. The worst that can happen is that the dad receives two presents that's from two different trip by the mom and step-mom. And that's not too bad, is it?

who's to assert that a father won't be in a position to get 2 provides? it is not an aweful element is a step determine takes section in a formative years yet issues like present paying for and giving and events in the youngster's existence are the responibility of the delivery determine. something the step determine does must be secondary. they could desire to no longer be taking the placement of the delivery determine.

I would say it is your responsibility as a mom to do that. But in the same regards to make things go smoother for the other wife and smoother for your childs relationship with her it is also her place to take him as well.I'm pretty sure that the dad won't be bothered by two gifts instead of one and it will be better for the child to be involved with both of the mom roles in his life. But that is something you will have to think about because I know setting your opinions aside sometimes can be very trying on your nerves.

I guess the mother of the child. I am separated and do take my kids to buy their father gifts, they are not old enough to do it themselves. If you don't want to take the kids to buy him a gift, have the kids make something. Remember it is the thought that counts.

If your child is young - then I would say it's your responsibility to make sure your child gets something for his/her dad. If the child is a teen and has a way to make money then I would say the child should pitch some money in towards getting his/her dad something.

i think the other parent should maybe at least get a card and then maybe help the child with a homemade gift or maybe even card as well depending on the age of the child this maybe could also be used as learning tool for saving you want dad to have something youneed to save or maybe do extra chores or something

Be a good mom and take your child. He will always be your childs father and you should respect your childs love for him.
