Im lucky because I dont have to do much for my mother on mothersday, a card with some pictures of my son usually makes her so happy. Shes still in ny so she doesnt get to see him much. As for my wife,she's not my mother so...I actually told my wife that last year when she asked what I was going to do for her on mothersday. I'll tell her happy mothersday like I will tell everyone else who isnt my mother. Honestly I dont believe in mothersday,nor fathersday nor birthdays. Why should people celebrate you(more importantly,why celebrate yourself) for simply existing another year. Well thats just me,I dont like when people try to make a big deal about my bday.

I will approch this from a different angle. Your ex-wife is exactly that, your ex. If the kids have a decent relationship with her and want to get her something then yes you should facilitate thier wishes. Otherwise leave her be.
You girlfriend on the other hand is another matter. How does she feel, how do the kids feel, and most imporantly how do you feel. Example, I married a woman whose kids had a dead beat dad. He is pond scum (trust me I could write a book on his assinine crap over the years). My middle daughter just turned 18 and asked me to adopt her, ok I am going on record as saying I turned into a pile of slobbering goo when this happened. Love those kids and she made me happier than I had been since my wife said yes to marrage. In our state (where she is "legal") it only takes a signature. There are some legal practical reasons for this but the whole reasoning is emotional for us. Anyway Just a bit of background. When me and my wife met I was careful about my role. I didn't want to swoop in and be "replacement dad" but at the same time I still cared for them in that way. Now depending on how your girlfirend is veiwing things, if you were to get her something small for mother's day that might go miles to her realizing she is accpepted by you. If she has any sence she will realize the kids need to come around (and they probably will eventually if they haven't already) but it doesn't hurt to get a bit a validation from people she cares about for the things she does. Just cause she isn't the "biological" mother doesn't mean she doesn't have that role partly. Of course all that is dependant on how long you have been together and the nature of the relationship, ie if she jsut met your kids last week, no I would wait until next year. If she has been slowly being a part of the kids lives, validate her efforts. |

The question is, did either get you anything for the last Fathers Day? If they didn't, I think you know my answer.

It's a thing for the kids. It's his money, yes, but it's from the kids to her.

Greetings,
I'm a single Dad with 2 adorable children, each with their own Mom. (The kids live with me, see the Mom I was married to on the weekends) So I've got to get my Mom something for Mother's day, but my question is this: Do I have to get the Ex Wife something for Mother's Day? And more importantly this: Do I need to get my girlfriend something for Mother's Day? (After all, she is nice enough to date a guy with 2 kids by 2 separate women.) Time is of the essence, Mother's Day is this Sunday!

Perhaps a card, but nothing more than that. Have her child sign it with you and there, done. =D

Do I need to get my girlfriend something for Mother's Day? (After all, she is nice enough to date a guy with 2 kids by 2 separate women.) I would say yes. Get her something to show her that you appreciate her dealing with what you have going on. Again, nothing to fancy, just a token of appreciation. That can be accomplished as easily as making dinner for her. |
