ExH was never a good father, part of the reason he is an ex but this year he has really taken the biscuit.
He lives some distance away and informed us that he wouldn't be seeing the DC's over Christmas due to work commitments. I wasn't particularly happy but I can't force him to see them.
I thought that given this fact he would at least make an effort to make sure they had a gift to open from him on Christmas Day. Nope. They got a card each, written by his girlfriend (he signed his name but that was it) and he's put £100 in my account for both of them for me to buy presents for them.
Considering he has never paid a penny in maintainance for them I'm surprised he's even done that but that's not the bloody point. They don't want cash for me to buy them random presents, they want a gift that their dad has taken the time to pick for them.
I'm not going to buy extra presents with it I'm just going to put it into their bank accounts and save it but Aibu to be annoyed that he has made no effort for them at all? I'm not surprised but I am really disappointed for them :(

To be annoyed that ExH has basically made no effort for the DC's for Christmas?
