Should i give my children's stepmother a gift for mothers day?

My x and I shear custody and i get along well with his girlfriend of three years. Not so well with my x but good enough. I grew some herbs and want to make a planter for her with a card that says thanks for all you do for J^^^^ and W****. Do you think this is OK?

Should i give my children's stepmother a gift for mothers day?
you're a wonderful and thoughtful person.



your ex is an idiot for losing you.
Reply:if you get along with eachother, and she has a hand in raising the kids when they're with dad, then sure. That would be a lovely gesture. It is also good for the kids to see. The less conflict there is, the better their mental/ emotional health will be. It really is a thoughtful gesture, especially since it's homemade.
Reply:just taking the time to ask this makes me wanna pat you on the back. if you think that much of her, go for it! good job you for not being one of these that hates the step mom, and thinks she is trying to hard to be mom. i would absolutely fall over dead if my husbands ex even spoke to me, much less bought me a gift.

kudos to you my dear...keep up the good work.



oh, and happy mothers day to you! the mom...
Reply:I think you are an amazing person for even thinking about this.



What a great way to make someone feel special. My best friend is a step mom and when the kids are with them, she's the one that is really taking "custody" of the children LOL.



You are awesome! Go ahead and do it
Reply:I think it's a great idea, and she will appreciate it. At the end, getting along benefits everyone, kids included. If I was a step-mom, it would be an honor to receive a gift like that.
Reply:Of course. This is something that most separated parents dream of but are too scared to do. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Doing good is always good. As long as there is no motive behind it.
Reply:I agree with KJ or was it KG. I am not sure but you are a wonder-full caring person and your husband was an idiot for letting you go. That is one of the Nice's things I have heared today.
Reply:Sounds like a wonderful idea! It pays to keep things civil and the communication open with the ex and the step.
Reply:That sounds very nice and mature of you.
Reply:Sounds great to me.
Reply:I think it's wonderful if you want to do that.
Reply:Yeah that's really nice!!
Reply:sure. its a sweet gesture.
Reply:Yes. Why not?
Reply:if you feel comfortable but have your kids give it to her
Reply:try it won't hurt
Reply:I would not want a gift from my kids stop mom...
