Are you doing anything for your XH or STBXH for Father's Day?

STBXH gave me a nice prof pic of DS in a frame for Mother's Day. I feel like I should do something like that too, but don't want to do the EXACT same thing. What are you doing?

Nothing. The "girls" did the first Christmas, birthday & Father's Day of our separation. He's done nothing for me. So until they make macaroni frames in school, he won't be getting anything.

Yes...he did nothing for Mother's Day, but I bought him a card and had Jake color in it. Then I mailed it.

I'm trying to be the bigger person, plus we are going to mediation in a month, so really, a simple card and being nice will be advantageous to me this year.

We're not doing anything for EX. I'm making a D-A-D pic for my dad with pics of DD, except it's going to say PAPA (which is what DD calls him.)

I'm going to let them know at daycare to make her father's day project say "love you Papa" or something rather than Daddy. I forgot to mention it last year.

They're making Father's Day projects at daycare this week, so I'll give STBXH whatever that is, but that's it.

This. I figure when the girls are old enough to pick something out is when he will get a gift from them. In addition, money is tight since I am shelling out $$$$$$ for my attorney.....and he's the one that left!

Cards from both kids (because I can't seem to find a Dad card from "both of us") and a gift card to a store that he likes. For Mother's Day, he gave me a card and a flower, which I know he could not even afford.

I just got a cheap-o card which, thanks to X's oh-so-generous child support payments, is all I could afford, and I'm just writing DS's name in it. He didn't do anything for me for Mother's Day except tell me how much he wanted freedom to have fun so, yeah. I don't care too much if he gets anything, but I figure it will make me look better when we go to mediation.

I plan on letting him see DD for a little, but no way am I giving him anything, not even a card.

Good point some of y'all made about looking good for mediation though... so maybe a card wouldn't hurt? BTW, he did nothing for me, except send an email saying how he wishes we could have been together (barf!)

All I got from Ex was a quick text on Mother's Day so I suppose i'll do the same. He'll be around for my sister and his brother's wedding this weekend so the only thing i'm afraid of is him acting like some kind of fvcking saint and the best dad ever when he's never done a single thing. I guess i'll have to suck it up and keep my mouth shut, ugh.

Father's Day would imply that he is a father. Which he is not. I'm not only doing nothing for him, I'm planning on being out of town that day so he doesn't try to call me and bug me about seeing DS. It's been almost a year to the date since he's seen him and he's since lost visitation.

I have a good relationship with XH, and he has become 100x better as a father and maybe even a person over the past year (thanks, therapy!) but I don't see myself actually getting him anything. He owes me a few years worth of presents.
