To not be sure who is unreasonable here?

[extremepie]

If anyone? Basically friend's ex has been messaging him for the past week saying (essentially) 'what are you going to get for me from our son for Mother's Day and when are you going to give it to me?'. She was also telling him about the Mother's Day stuff (card & present) she had got for his pregnant sister?

She is in a new relationship and the new guy lives with df's ex and their son so will be seeing him on Mother's Day, whereas df is working so won't see her. He is of the opinion that since she is in a new relationship her new man should be getting the card/present etc for her for Mother's Day. Not sure who I agree with? My ex is in a new relationship so I'm assuming he will be getting her Mother's Day stuff but hasn't got me anything?

Aibu to wonder who is 'right'?

I think it is kind and generous for a parent to help a child choose a present for the other parent when they are no longer together. It isn't fair on the child not to (what does he say when his friends ask him what he got his mum?). Even a token present allows him to say "I got mummy a present". Regardless of whether mum is now in a relationship with someone else.

She's being grabby, entitled and a royal PITA.

Could go on, but have made my feelings about MD clear elsewhere so won't bore you all with that particular rant again

im a single parent so never expect anything mothers day, but ds, 5, came through this morning with 3 hand made cards and a paper bunch of flowers he'd asked his teacher at school to help him make. Means more than anything brought ever could.
She shouldn't expect presents, and maybe just be grateful she gets to spend mothers day with her DC. many mums aren't that lucky!

Lol I tend to agree zeezeek :D I think she probably did get a present from her new bf 'from her son' anyway but was just put out that she didn't get one from df also - she also moans about how much maintenance he pays even though her new bf has a well paid job and df pays more than the minimum amount - by contrast I get nothing from my ex, no Mother's Day anything and i don't complain or send him a barrage of text messages demanding my MD present, she is being entitled and grabby!

I got a hand made card from ds1 and that was lovely, we went out and had lunch together and it was really nice :) Exh never bothered with Mother's Day or any other occasion when we were together so I didn't expect him to start now but it's not all about what presents you get :)
