So I received some heart ballons from my partner, my 7 year old daughter had a bit of a traumatic time at her mums house on Wednesday night so on Thursday afternoon I said to my partner I have got to drop some stuff off for my daughter so I will take her 1 of the 6 ballons to cheer her up, my partner seemed ok with this. however last night we were having a bit of a heart to heart conversation about our relationship and she said it really upset her that I gave my daughter a ballon because they were for me not her, I find this very odd because she knows what my daughter went through the other night and it's not like I took all the ballons to give to my daughter. I just want to get people's views on this as I don't think it's normal behaviour.

thanks for spending the time to read.

@WhiteCat @ItStartedWithAKiss241 you find it weird to give your child a present because you don't live with them?

There’s a lot of over thinking here!

I’d just forget it. Move on.

If she normally gets on well with your daughter and does nice things for her, it could be that she's upset because she thinks you didn't really like the balloons and that's why you gave one away? Could be she's sensitive and hoped you would love the balloons and want to keep them all to yourself? Or maybe she's just having a weird one?

You could ask her why the balloon thing upset her I suppose.

Either it's that she's feeling sentimental and she wanted them to be a special present for you, and that's why she's upset (in which case she would have been perfectly happy you taking anything else to cheer up your daughter), or she's being very silly.

Well,it's a bit silly either way, but it might not be because of something sinister or really have much to do with your daughter
