So we were shopping earlier this week and we passed a Hunger Games display and DD mentioned that her dad bought her Hunger Games (which she already has at our house) on DVD as her late birthday present this past weekend. EX and her SM had not seen the movie yet but DD loves it and they all watched it together. Great, right? Except that DD's birthday was in January and she sees them EOWE and her little sister's birthday was in April and she got presents. This is not the first year they have stiffed her. They thew her a "joint" party with her sister on her sister's 1st birthday. DD never mentioned not getting a birthday gift in January and I didn't want to make her feel worse but DH and I were sort of speechless when she mentioned it at first and then DH was like "huh? birthday present?" thinking we had misunderstood and she mentioned they had not gotten her one before. We were like "oh, ok" I mean what do you say to that?

I hear you. My dd is still waiting on her birthday gift from April xh is buying her a bike. When I ask about it bc if he's not going to buy it, I will have to so she has one he says he is saving money. But in meantime he painted his house, redid his bathroom etc. I don't understand and probably never will. :

Mine needs to join that coffee date too.

I just found out a couple weeks ago that my ex MIL got DS a Nintendo 3DS for xmas last year. The problem being my ex hasn't taken my son for almost a year so my son still hadn't gotten presents from his dad/dad's family from his last B-day or xmas last year. So anyway ex had made a big deal about him getting the 3DS so my son knew he was getting it for xmas . Ex tells my son he "borrowed" the 3DS while he was in the hospital (for booze related issues) and it broke so they sent it to be "fixed". Which in other words means that my ex was broke-as usual and pawned it or sold it. This is either the 3rd or 4th system that has "broke" and sent away to be fixed that has never returned.

That's bs it's one thing not to be able to afford gifts but to obviously have the money for one child's party and gifts and not another that is really messed up

Wahoo

It doesn't even seem like a gift for her - it sounds as if THEY wanted to watch the movie, so they purchased it and told your DD it was her birthday gift.  How awful!

BM has been bad about this in the last two years.  She promises SD a big party, a pet bunny, a new bike... things she doesn't have the money to deliver on.  It's frustrating.
