So, my shit of a husband who left me 4 months' ago for another woman has his birthday in May and I'm going to have to buy him a present from our 2 year old. What the hell do I get? It's bad enough I have spend any money on him but suppose I'll have to grit my teeth on this one. Any ideas?

I think a homemade card from a 2 year old is plenty even when a couple are still together.

Buy the chocs and eat them yourself.

Don't buy anything, I wouldn't even bother with a card tbh, it's obviously not from a 2 year old.

Of course it's still your job to help your son celebrate his dad's birthday. I've done it for my son since he was tiny. Christmas presents too.

Picking a frame for a photo of himself, picking a houseplant, or some mental shit off the market on holiday, you're not doing it for your ex, you're doing it to help your child grow up to love giving to people they love.

Unless you want your child to grow up not knowing how to give, of course.
