Ex having presents delivered to my house

AIBU to be annoyed, or should I just be glad DC are getting presents...

Non-existent parenting relationship with abusive ex. We can just about have a couple of civil text conversations a year if necessary. DD hasn't seen him for a few years and he'll perhaps text her once or twice a year.

He's messaged this week asking what she wants for Christmas. I've struggled myself with ideas but I've been pleasant and sent him some links of things she may like. I've just checked which he's ordered so I know what not to buy...

"Yes I've ordered xyz. They'll be delivered to you this week, so you can wrap them for me and I don't need to carry them over then."

Ohhh can I now?

Forget about him and concentrate on DD - she can open the boxes herself or you can wrap them . How is she going to react to him not bothering to deliver them himself ? That needs to be part of what you do

He forgot her birthday and she wasn't bothered/surprised.
