Fahers Day- Should I organise gift for my partner? Advice please!!

[usedtobe]

long story short: fathers day is approaching and Im not sure how to handle it. Son lives with me and my BF moved in with us in January.
I don?t want BF to be freaked out by fathers day gift/card but want his efforts to be acknowledged. Ill just add we are very serious about each other too and will be starting family together in few years.

I was thinking of 'thank you for being there for me' card but my sister and friend advised me not to do anything at all as he is not Dad. Ex (the Dad) is around too and has little one every other weekend.

Any advice welcome!!!!

"if he is becoming like a father to your son then can't see the harm in it"

Pumpkin it's not possible for he DP to become the child's "father". The closest I can think of is if the actual father was dead and the DP adopts the child. But the father is very much alive. I can just imagine how it would go down on mumsnet if someone suggested a new girlfriend was a child's "mother"

It's a bit late for that conversation pumpkin! He's living with them so is going to be in a significant adult/supporting role by default.

I always get the kids fathers day pressies. Mostly from charity shops but he appreciates the effort and at the end of the day it is for the kids not him.
