He couldn't even buy his daughter an Easter egg

[gonebeyondcaring]

So..... my ex came round to see our daughter today for an hour. I presumed he wanted to see her to take her a little Easter egg round. But he didn't. He made a big deal about taking his other two children (from another marriage) out to buy them Easter eggs so they could pick them. He said he had already bought her an Easter egg with me because he gives me money for her. When I mentioned he also pays his other ex wife money but still took them out shopping to buy them one he said I'm psycho. He could have easily picked her up a little one for 99p. Actually a little upset about this right now even though it's so trivial I probably shouldn't be :(

Sounds like he is lying about the eggs. The 'psycho' comment shows he couldn't come up with a rational argument after you rightly challenged him back.

Thank your lucky starts he's an ex!

He's awful... your dc will realise before lying and he's the one that will lose out ultimately. Sounds like you have a lovely day planned for her anyway.

I don't think my DH has bought Easter eggs for his teenage DC but then I know he wouldn't think to buy them while he is out. I sometimes do but haven't this year as I feel like he should do some things himself. I even sent a Mother's Day card to his mum this year because he didn't. Anyway...

I can understand some men just don't think but if he was buying eggs for the other children then it should have occurred to him to buy one for your DD

I would be upset too. But since she doesn't know his other children have been taken to buy egss, I would plaster on a smile and make every Easter extra special for her.
