iammolly Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 So, I have been dating this man for a little over 2 months now. We met online in April and hit it off right away. Basically, ever since that first series of emails we talk, IM, email for at least 2 hours every single day since then. And we see eachother every week. His exwife is not very friendly and makes his visitation with the kids difficult. Due to some drama with her this week, he is not sure that he will get to spend father's day with his kids. If he doesn't, then he will spend it with me. I always encourage him to see his kids, spend time with them etc. We have not met each others kids yet. So, if he is unable to see them on Sunday and we spend the day together, do you think it would be appropriate to give him a father's day card and a gift? I was thinking about doing something silly like a tie because he has to wear suits to work. Just not 100% sure I should do it. But, he is a dad and loves his kids (they are 11 and 14). So, I feel like he should get something for father's day.
Art_Critic Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Honestly no I don't think it is appropriate for you to give him a Father's day gift.. (even though your heart is in the right place) If it was his B-day.. then yes but this day is for him and his kids and possibly his ex wife.. since she is part of buying the gifts on her end for him with the kids.. or at least she funds the gifts.. Chances are also that it is stipulated that he gets the kids on fathers day as part of his visitation.. This is a no brainer for the courts.. Mother's day goes to the Mom and Fathers day to the Dad and this has been part of the basic visitation agreements for years.. Why not just take him to brunch if he hasn't got the kids ?
