I've been with DH for 4 years and have always bought a card for him from DSS as his mum and DH don't do it for eachother. We have our own DD so card is now signed from both of them.
Gave card last weekend from the kids, DH happy.
Except during the week his ex has now gotton a card plus money from DSS. Bought after the one they gave.
I wouldn't mind but it's the first time she's ever done it so why out of the blue? Especially as me and DH have a baby together, I got one card from both kids so for his ex to then get a bigger card with money in from just their DSS is a bit odd?
I'm probably reading too much into this but she has a history of being difficult so I worry about everything she does. Just looks crap that DSS does two cards and money whilst DD just did a card. I would rather it be consistent between them so easier to arrange myself.
His ex has kids with her hubby. DSS did same card and same money for his SD. But we wouldn't interfere in what her husband was doing for MD as now they have their own kids her husband probably wants to do one thing from all of them.
I haven't said anything to DH as I think I'm probably being OTT just don't want over the years me helping the kids do something thoughtful then DSS giving extras and DD feeling bad we didn't do as much.
