I have NO patience with ex-spouses who can’t be civil, even a little nice, to each other when they coparent. DO IT FOR THE KIDS! And you’re right, making believe you don’t remember your ex’s birthday is BS.

Just like with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, we have agreed that our son will spend the day with each of us on our birthdays. My ex and I simply wish each other a Happy Birthday although my ex tends to give me presents “from our son” even though he’s only 5. It kind of creeps me out when that happens. The first Valentine’s Day after our separation (less than a year after he left), I received a Vermont Teddy Bear from our son who was 2 at the time.

Completely agree! Especially when you are still friendly to each other. My ex surprises me sometimes. For Mother’s Day this year, he gave me a book that I’d mentioned to him a few weeks earlier. I was blown away that a simple mention was actually heard!

I do try to help my girls pick out gifts or cards for him for his birthday and he does the same. I think it’s a healthy thing to do.

My X has his family here who can work with the N-Man to celebrate so I don’t see it as my responsibility to take him to get something or make something for his dad. If he asks as he gets old, I definately will but there are other, more appropriate people who can do it. Same thing with the tables turned. X has never acknowledged my birthday or sent a card from the N-Man for me and I don’t expect him to. My friends and family more than have that covered

we have been pretty good at helping our kids remember special days and give accordingly….although once my ex was remarried some of that changed.

The first years are strange and awkward and there are lots of reasons that make things difficult…but truly the dust settles after a while…and trust me, your kids will remember who acted appropriately and who didn’t.

Mine’s not an ex yet and he’s never done anything for my birthday.. Okay, not never.. Just never since we’ve been married.. No anniversaries, no Valentine’s Day, no birthdays, no Christmas.. No nothing..
And he wonders why he’s gonna be an ‘ex’..
On the other hand, I’ve always made sure dear daughter does father’s day, birthday, etc. for him..
Oh, well.. I tell myself I’m being the ‘bigger’ person.. But mostly I just feel used again…
