Tuesday is my stbx 40th birthday. I found out today while I was at my sons football game that my sbx mother in law, sister in law, brother in law and of course the new girlfriend they're giving him a birthday party tonight. I had not taking the kids to get his gift yet.
I thought long and hard about it and decided to go to the mall to get the football jerseys the kids wanted to give him so he could wear it tonight and watch the game. I also had an ulterior motive she would have to look at him wearing it all day knowing that I got it for him and dropped it off at the house with the card and of course that the three of us signed. I know that was being a little devious but oh well. Stbx told my son to text me right away and say he loved it and thank you very much.
She has him on a bit of a lockdown and he cannot text or call when she's around.
Stbx does the same and buys gifts for Christmas or birthdays Mother's Day.
I did want to get it for him but yes I do have to say I use the opportunity to stick it to her. I just wondered how many others buy gifts for their acts on behalf of the kids and if that's normal?
