if you were divorced,

 

would you give your kids some money to buy the ex wife a birthday present?

Because its your kids your helping, not your ex. Makes you the bigger person!

 

Allthought cant see how you could get any bigger!!!

 

 

I'm the right person to answer this.

 

Definately do it and hope the wife doesnt give them money to buy you a prezzie.

 

They will like you better :D/

don't think the current missus would be so understanding [-X [-X

No, sod it.

 

If she couldn't be bothered to ensure to kids have a least a little money to make a gesture, then I wouldn't.

 

I've seen fairly close to hand the bastards at the CSA, rob fathers as it is anyway.

In a slightly different vein, but this may apply.

 

Husband, wife & kids.

Husband & wife hardly on speaking terms.

Wife gives kids money for father's day presents.

Father opens presents and throws them straight in the bin, in front of the kids, because wife has paid for them.

 

Your thoughts on this scenario please. (and yes - it has happened. NOT ME I HASTEN TO ADD!)

Agreed. Father IS a pillock!

You should never take things out on your kids when your marriage is failing or gone all together. It's not their fault and I feel sorry for the poor kids who watched their dad throw presents in the bin that they had taken the time to buy, granted not with their money, but it's the though that counts.

 

Your children are your prize possesions and should always remain so.

Sorry HW, I think you could have phrased that an awful lot better.

 

Your children are NOT possessions. A watch is a possession, a car is a possession.

 

Your children are human beings that you have care of until they're able to look after themselves, and you also have a lifetime connection to them, whether you want to maintain that connection or not.

 

And the father who threw the presents away was an idiot who didn't think through fully the possible consequences of his actions. 'Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.'

Personally, I think he's a C??nt of the highest order.

 

Unfortunately so do his kids now.

EG Your too PC

Jesus

 

There is definately something in the water around here
