Yeah, I'd be mad.
A better thing to tell the son is "don't forget to give mommie a kiss."

Yeah I think I would be angry just because it just sounds like he's still interested in her...but it depends on the situation. Do they get along great and you wonder why they ever divorced? Did he want to get divorced? If she was the one who called the shots, that makes a difference. Or, maybe he's just saying that so the son won't think anything is majorly wrong.

Don't be angry.
like other ppl have said, the guy is just trying to make things easier on his son. It meant nothing, if he really wanted to kiss his ex wife he would have done it himself.
no child (regardless of age) wants to know that their parents are angry with each other. cut the guy a break, he's just trying to be a good dad.
Besides the kid more than likely will forget to 'deliver the message' and even if he does, it's not going to make his mom all hot and heavy so it's not even worth getting into a tiff about. If it'll make you feel better, then talk to him, but no need to chew him out.

well how old is the son? At least they are on good terms with each other for the sake of the child. He might just be saying that to make the child feel like mommy and daddy are still friends even thought they are not together.
If you are concerned talk to your husband about it.

Hell YES! No different than if i told MY kids to "kiss daddy for me"...my b/f, who is divorced with 3 kids, would go THRU the ROOF! He'd be OUT that door so fast!
If he is saying it sarcastically, this is a bit different...hate to judge too quickly...was he being sarcastic? I have said it sarcastically to my kids...and to my ex when he thinks the kids are still on the phone but I have it...he says "I love you"...thinking its one of the kids...I'll change my voice to a little girls voice and say it back...we'll both laugh. So how was it said? Makes a diff...I think my b/f wouldn't find that funny though. I don't do it when he's in the house.

Gosh! I am really shocked by the hostility on here over this!
I was a step parent for quite a few years, everytime my step daughter went home, we would 'both' kiss her and tell her to send our love to her mum, my partner would often kiss his ex's cheek on saying goodbye, come to think of it so did i...Honey, it's like this where there are kids involved, if there were no kids and you overheard him say to a friend, hey kiss the ex for me will ya? Then sure, crack the whip, but when he says this to his child that is a completely different thing, this is a throw away remark, so do just that, pay no heed to it, just chuck it away !!

Sorry yet i'm entering into my center 30's and performance no young ones or bags & not in any respect intend to! You look very immature & for sure favor someone youthful than you who has your immature psychological status. some adult men are like what you defined & bypass for the young women-yet different adult men may like the more beneficial mature women human beings instead of a young person. that's unlike 50 year old adult men are not wrinkled & do not have any bags both!

Yeah because thats his ex-wife for a reason, and I would wonder why on earth she would deserve a kiss or how it would be appropriate to ask his son to bestow one on his behalf. Your husband is out of line!! You are NOT being petty, this is a red flag!

Maybe he just wants his son to feel that there is no friction between his parents. This may be his way of protecting his son from feeling like it was his fault that they are not together. Just ask your husband what he means when he tells his son this and see what he says. It would bother me and I would have to ask him what his motives were for telling is son that.

No - I would not be angry. Why would you be angry?
Anger comes from you. Your husband has done nothing. He is a blank slate, neither good nor bad. You project your anger and insecurities onto him.
You are paranoid and untrusting and you feel that somehow you are in competition with his ex-wife, well, you're not. As soon as you let go of those limiting thoughts your marriage will be much healthier and happier.
