Christmas Grinch, much? Grr..?
Okay so I have this situation going on right now, Earlier today I went to Wal-Mart to do a little Christmas shoppoing for my 2 year old son. Since I had to budget on his gifts and my bills, I had decided to get my son a Mini-Toy Story Playpen set that came with those playpen balls. I originally had wanted to get him a CARS playground set which kinda resembled a tent and was a little bigger in size. Well, I had originally decided since the Toy Story came Playpen set came with balls , I would get that. I also got him some extra stuff on the side....Well, I told my sons mother (We aren't together) about what I got him and she FLIPPED!! Starting calling me a "Worthless Dad" and calling me a "**** up" cause i tell her I originally was gonna get one thing and i get another and how i dissapoint her cause i didn't get him what "she" wanted, wanna know the flipside to all this? She's not even working! I'm the one that's giving her money to support my son. I feel he'll be happy with whatever he gets cause i mean I got bills to pay as well, you know? I know i'm a dedicated, loving, supportive father and I get degraded by somebody who screwed up the relationship in the 1st place! People are saying she's being ungrateful, that she should at least be happy but what do you guys think?

to hell with her. He don't care if its Toy Story Cars or from Mars. He's going straight for the balls inside of it. You need to put her in check and tell her you ain't gonna tolerate her putting you down when you are doing the best you can. You know how many fathers ain't buying their kids NOTHING AT ALL for Christmas or any other day of the year. She's mad cause she messed up with you I bet so NOTHING you ever do will be good enough, Oh well forget her. Always love your son and don't bad mouth her in front of him and when he gets older he'll see for his self who has his best interest at heart. Good Luck.

She is being ungrateful.
He is TWO. He is not going to know the difference between the CARS playground set and the Mini-Toy Story Playpen set---and you are a wonderful, caring, loving Dad to be getting your son something you know he will have a blast with. Good for you for being there for him, and supporting him. You are doing the right thing.
Some individuals are not ever happy, will not ever be happy, no matter what---because you don't do things "her" way. She is angry that she is not in control of your behavior. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what is best for your son---because what is best for your son is to know that his Dad LOVES him, not what toy you get him. And, somehow, I worry that she isn't going to convey that to your son in her behavior.
Grrrrrr..... Any woman that calls you a "Worthless Dad" and a "**** up" does not know how critical it is that a son has a father who loves him. She is being self-centered. Some men get alienated by this crap and then the child has no father (some women get alienated, but usually the mother has primary custody). So she is disappointed. I'm sure you've been disappointed in her many times, right? She needs to realize that you need to budget. I think she thinks that you did this out of spite. You say, "I'm sorry that you are disappointed that I am on a budget. But I went through the budget and needed to make a slight change. I love ____ dearly, and he knows that. I don't think that this will harm him."
She thinks that you should have spent more. However, since she is your ex---it is no longer her business. Stay in your son's life no matter what. He needs you.

The only mistake that you made was telling her before Christmas what you had purchased - if it happened on the day when your son opened the gift his reaction would have taken away the issues.
Keep your mouth shut about what you are doing and let the gift do the work for you.
Maybe you could get her a dog kennel for Christmas?LOL

Guess you learned a lesson about telling the ex what you plan to buy. She's an ***. It's not her business what you end up buying, unless she already bought it or she was getting an accessory to go with the original idea.
The gift is for your child, not his mom. She needs to grow up.

She probably went online to Walmart & found out what you paid & then got pissed. But seriously . . . F it & F her. She's a control freak, ungrateful, and classless. Sorry about that :-(
