Why do you need to deal with it at all? Mothers day isn't a romantic day - it's a way for people to thank the mothers in their lives. Your BF had kids with this woman - dont you think it's polite for him to send her flowers on a day that honors the mother of HIS children? If it was valentines day their would be an issue...
you're overreacting..

I think that was very thoughtful of him to buy the roses for his son to give to his mother for mothers day*
whether you like it or not...your b/friend had a child with another woman and no matter what..she'll always be the mother of his son* There shouldn't be any confusion* IF he bought the roses and gave them to her from himself...then i'd be concerned*/confused....but...your boyfriend sounds like he's a great dad....to do that for his son so he can have something to give his mom on mothers day* That is Sweet* not confusing*

Understand that he had a life before you. You should have no problem with him buying roses so the son can give something to his mother on Mother's Day. If you marry this guy, your life will be like this. I am a stepmom, but I was ready for it when I got married, so things like that didn't and still don't bother me. Perhaps you aren't ready for that since it bothers you. If so, then you need to break this off and next time find someone without kids.

Your confused because you somehow see this as him giving the gift opposed to what is truly going on. Clearly his son is in no position of financially being able to purchase a gift so he is helping him do so. It's more of a gesture to the son than the ex....the little boy gets to feel good about giving his mother a gift on Mother's Day. Stop trying to analyze something to be what it isn't before you end up single.

I agree with everyone else. Your Boyfriend made sure that HIS son had something to give to his Mother on Mother's Day. I think this is very decent and thoughtful of him. And his son is seeing that he should love and respect his mother and other women. I say you should tell your boyfriend that what he did was very thoughtful and you should be happy that you are dating such a great person.

You should be glad that your bf is taking the initiative to even buy the roses for his son's mom. At least he isn't giving them to her himself. He is also showing his son that it is important to respect his mothers feelings. I know alot of guys that don't even bother buying things for their kids mothers. I would be proud to have a guy like yours.... Wait I do. lol Calm down its harmless.

He wants his son to honor his mother. He has enough respect for her, at least as a mom, to want his son to give her something nice. What's the problem?
He sounds like a good dad...

After my husband and I got divorced I took our boys shopping to pick out something for him for Fathers' Day.
No biggie.
If your bf is buying her flowers all the time, then I could see your point. But your man and that woman will always be that boy's father; and you're going to have to find a way to accept that.
Be greatful that they get along and you don't have to deal with a lot of drama between them.

Well, are they supposed to be from his son? He can help his son buy his mom a gift if he can't buy it himself. That's pretty harmless. I would be uncomfortable if the roses were supposed to be from your bf... but even then it may not mean anything other than him trying to be nice. If it bothers you then you have to ask yourself why cuz only you know.

That would depend on the son's age. He wants his son to remember his mom on her special day. Sometimes it's not easy to deal with things like that but keep it to yourself or it could cause some real problems for the two of you.
