FutureLT Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 For anyone who's read my last thread, you'll know I'm about 2 months into the divorce process, wife moved out at the same time, and she's obviously got this "Grass-is-greener-syndrome" I've read about elsewhere on the forum. All I'm curious about is if any harm would be done by giving a gift to my nephew (her sister's son) for his upcoming birthday. I'm set to meet with my wife for mediation tomorrow, she may cancel or postpone so who knows, but anyway I already have the gift, and I would like to see about her giving it to him since I feel unwelcome going out to her sister's house and doing it myself. This nephew means a lot to me, he'll be 6, and I met him when he was only 2, so he's developed an attachment to me as he's grown up, and given how the rest of her family treated me during holidays, I spent most my time playing with the kids anyway. I understand I can't be in his life forever, but since he won't understand that, I figured having her give him this last gift and telling him goodbye for me would have to suffice. Any thoughts?
2sure Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I think it's a bit much to explain to a 6 year old . It's a nice gesture because you like the kid , but since you aren't welcome in his parents house ...it's a bit too much.
hayewils Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I would have to agree its to much. We have all had children in our lives that we don't see any longer. Its a sad situation but unfortunately, the kids through marriage go, when the spouse goes. Ive got nephews on my wifes side who I will miss as well. I was a part of everyone when those baby boys were born. They will grow up and I wont be a part of their lives.. Sad, cute little boys and fun
