Sounds like a good idea to me Mom. Make it age appropriate though. Let the lil guy pick it out if possible.

I think you should ask your child if it's something they would want to do before making that decision. Pay attention to the response they give you. If they give you an excited yes, then do it for the happiness of the child. Also see if they have feelings about the situation, and if they do, talk to the child about those feelings. Adults that are seperated or divorced should always remember, that it's not just the adults who are effected by those types of situations, but the children are as well.

I would keep buying gifts until your childs old enough to buy their own. That why you can never look back and think you didnt do your best.
My parents bought each other gifts supposidly from us, and were always civil and it made the whole situation so much easier.
We never suffered from the divorce at all.
It only need be something little, your child will thank you when their older.

It all depends on how you and him get along these days. In my situation that would not happen. I agree with everyone else that you take him out and let him pick out what he wants, You can put a price limit on it if you want and even let him get him a gag gift, but if you 2 are on bad waves, then the child will only get hurt as he will see the reactions from your fighting

yes. but take your child with you and have him or her help you pick it out. make sure that the father knows its from your child. I'm sure if your kid was old enough, they would want to get their father something. Your child deserves to grow up knowing and loving his/her father the same way they love and know you. Especially if you previously had gotten him gifts from your child, i think its' the right thing to do.

I say yes as how bad do you think your son is going to feel when his dad gives him a present for Christmas and he don't have one to give his dad. It isn't about the adults anymore it is about what the child wants. I say ask your son what he would like to get his dad for Christmas and let him go and buy it and wrap it and give it to his dad. That way you didn't get the gift your son did.

You can if you and he are getting along okay. I think it's a very nice idea but try to involve the child in the choosing of the gift. :)

Yes I think that you should regardless of whether or not he does the same. I would think it might be a difficult thing to do but anything that helps to encourage a good relationship is a good thing. As they get older they can take more of an active role in doing this themselves.

No. Have your child make him a christmas card, that would be a very special present for the daddy.
