I am a single parent to toddler DS. His dad is lightly involved in his life physically and financially. We have our ups and downs like any separated couple but on the whole are fairly amicable.
Before DS was born (we split up when I was pg) we decided that we weren't gonna do Mother's Day/father's day/Xmas/bdays for each other while DS was still little as it was obvious it wasn't from him and was from us and our families would do it.
I was speaking to a friend this morning and explained the above (father's day had come up already) and she was mortified that I'm not doing anything for DSs dad. I said his nursery will prob make him a card from DS like they did Mother's Day and he can give him that and ex has a girlfriend that will prob do something for him. She was still shocked that I don't'make an effort' for DS.
AIBU? What do others do in these circumstances? Any views/opinions appreciated!
