Should i be upset that i didn't receive a Christmas gift but i got him something?
Okay so my husband wanted a PS3 for Xmas and i got it for him at a very good deal. That was all he asked for. He tells me that he will get me something on the 1st of Jan when he gets paid. Why should i wait for my gift. All i really wanted was a pair of thigh high boots and perfume, nothing expensive. Now we all know how much a PS3 cost but its not about that, i just wanted to be able to open a gift from my husband on Xmas day.
Well he has 2 girls from a previous relationship and the oldest one had a recent birthday and this is what he did for her..1. She lives in another state and he had a dozen flowers delivered with balloons to her high school, then he went to visit her (3 hr trip) and bought her clothes, and IPOD touch, basically he spent well over 400 dollars and i got nothing for Xmas. Oh yeah for my birthday, which was on Thanksgiving i got a damn snuggie and a box of chocolate (and they were dark choc which i don't like to eat).
I got upset cuz he does not put forth the effort for me that he does his daughter and he said i was acting childish. I disagree!
Im gonna wait until the 1st and see what happens, but i think i should come first and there was no way i should wait to get my gifts. Now who would not feel the same way i do?????
To Reggie: that purse u bought was over 3 years ago. Each year brings new gifts. Why are u talking about things u got me in the past, this is 2009, not 2006. so what u saying is that purse u got me should be good for like 3 or 4 xmas's. WOW!!! if u love me like u say then i should have gotten something, u building a relationship with your daughter has nothing to do with u getting me something for xmas.

yep...i'd be livid. it's probably not a mature answer but his actions aren't either. it's great that he cares for his daughter and does special things for her but if he has the means to do for her you should be right up there on that list of importance. i would be beyond hurt to have gotten nothing for christmas. you basically got nothing for your birthday too. you ARE NOT acting childish. he is being unloving and selfish and inconsiderate towards you. he will make you resent his kid eventually and it will only be natural. reading this is irritating. i have been E X A C T L Y where you are. it's hard to decide whether you are more hurt or angry right? i'm sorry. best advice would be to keep trying to talk to him. and in the future don't give his gift until you have yours. tell him you hate to make him feel inadequate by giving when you know he can't :)

Why not tell the whole truth,,,,that I am trying to build a relationship with the one daughter's life, that I have not been apart in her 18 years. And that I am trying to be a good father to all my kids at the same time be a good husband. I am happy for my gift but don't act like I haven't done more for you, in the past. Oh you forgot about the 300$ purse you wanted......You want to see what happens on the first maybe it will go your way maybe it won't....now all yall comment on that....lmao......OH AND BY THE WAY....WHAT DID YOU GET ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY,,,,,WHAT DID YOU GET ME FOR VALENTINES DAY,,,,,WHAT DID YOU DO FOR ME ON OUR ANIVERSARY.....i BOUGHT YOU A WII WHY BECAUSE I WANTED YOU WANTED ONE, AND IT WAS NOT A SPECIAL DAY, YOU DRIVE A NICE SUV THAT WE CALL YOURS. YOU RIDE A MOTORCYCLE THAT WE CALL YOURS,,,,,,OH I WONDER WHAT ELSE I CAN THINK OF....WOW

I would be upset also. He had all year to make sure he gave you a gift on Christmas day and not a couple of weeks later,.
