Its immature to act that way about a small nice gester… Hes simply getting the child a gift because its his kids sibling❗your ex sounds like hes co parenting amazingly with you & that is wonderful! Now if your man now can just grow up and act right it would be nothing but easy for you. Thats something you needa explain to him. Hes just tryna not be a dick. I don’t see your mans problem… Cause its literally not that big of a deal.

That’s terrible. Your ex is setting a wonderful example for his children of how a family treats one another - with love and respect. Even thought it’s not his child it’s his Children’s siblings and he is being kind!!

I actually think it is a healthy thing for your Ex to get your baby with someone else a present. In my opinion I think it is really mature of him. Also who’s to say he didn’t get it as a gift from him and your kids. Bf doesn’t know if the kids were out shopping with him and asked to get it for their sibling. Your boyfriend needs to realize that if you two stay together for the long haul that your ex will always be a part of your lives. You have kids with him and he knew that. You are doing what is in your kids best interest.
My “Uncle” (my Aunt divorced him 25 years ago) still attends our family get togethers & holidays. My cousin is 30 years old now. It didn’t happen right away but within 7 years of the divorce. My cousin has never had to worry about if she will see him or not or leave to go to another event. He has even stepped in to help care for my 96 year old grandfather/ his ex FIL.
Question I would ask is there a reason your BF is so upset. Is it cause he is not secure in the relationship or unsure of something? Is there something that can help him understand? Your ex and your kids are your and bf’s kids sibling.

Um what!?!?! You have an awesome ex husband! 
I’m guessing he is jealous of your ex husband, and feels threatened by him, he needs to grow up and put his personal insecurities aside for the benefit of the children.

He’s just being a man. You know how they are territorial especially over their kids. No man wants any other man doing any daddy things with their child at all. But it’s no different than women getting jealous and not wanting the ex new girlfriend around the kids. Just tell your boyfriend you’re sorry and that your ex meant no harm and just wanted to be nice and that it won’t happen again.
My current partner of 8 years is weirded out my my ex mother in law buying our 1 year old gifts and face timing her with my oldest daughter (her granddaughter) some men don’t understand how relationships work. I grew up with my parents divorced but my mom. Was always invited to my dads family’s events and we all celebrate together. It’s nice that your ex includes your youngest with gifts. That way they don’t feel left out

SMDH it’s called adulting , the ex-husband anyway. My ex and I have 2 grown sons, he’s been remarried for 15 yrs. His wife help raise our boys , kudos to her. My ex brings me flowers on Mother’s Day, birthday, coffee and donuts on Christmas. We text or call each other, his wife included. When you get divorced that part of your family doesn’t disappear. Especially if you have kids with the ex. I went to my ex MIL ‘s funeral. My ex brother in law has come from Ohio to see my ex , OUR kids and stayed at my house ! Ought to be thankful this ex is a nice guy.
I think it’s a beautiful thing your ex husband has done. A decent man

This just broke my head it took a little to start this response. Tell your bf to get the f over it bubby has siblings and it’s a nice thing it’s not like he is getting gifts everyday/week. Your BF is insecure and threatened about your ex. He needs to work through it or it will make your relationship toxic.
When my sons dad and his now wife had their first child together I took our son to pick out a present for his new brother. I wrapped it and took my son to the hospital to see his new sibling. When I had my second child my oldest son’s father gave me a ride home with my new baby from the hospital because my car had a flat tire. There is nothing wrong with having a respectful working relationship with your ex for the sake of your children. Him buying baby a gift is an act of maturity and in the best interest of your children together. Your new man needs to grow up and stop trying to show his dick. He is obviously insecure and needs a reality check. What he is doing to you will reflect to your kids and that is not a good thing for them to be seeing and learning. I’d put my foot down now. If his behavior doesn’t change kick him to the curb.

Your boyfriend is jealous, and that shouldn’t affect your children at all, even if they’re not your ex husbands. I’m sure your ex is just trying to be nice since he’s still a significant part of your children’s lives. This also means that he will likely have some type of relationship with your boyfriends child as well, just by being around.
Kids and families need villages, but whatever relationships Mathis jealousy will bring.
My new husband has raised a child that isn’t even his for 14 years and she still comes over and she calls him dad and she knows he isn’t her bio dad.Its about love and respect man,kids deserve as much love as they can get,he is just jelous.

Wow that’s petty. When my son was born my husband’s ex-wife(mother of his daughter) gave my son a gift. We always have had a friendly relationship. My husband has now been passed on for 20 years and we still have family gatherings with his daughter and her children and his ex. He should be glad your ex is civil and doesn’t mistreat your baby. He needs to grow up.

That is just childish as hell. Your ex sounds like he wants to include the new baby, which is pretty remarkable imo. Most exes, regardless of the gender because it goes both ways, don’t really even bat an eye at a kid that isnt theirs. You current needs to respect that you have children with another man and that you are co parenting, which is another thing that tends to go south. Those kids or thier father aren’t going anywhere because you share the kids. He knew that you had kids with your ex when he got with you. He needs to GROW UP.
Awe he just don’t want he left out to, he the boy brother .

Sounds to me like your current is extremely insecure/jealous of your ex. When you have children with that man there is NO reason why he can’t get your child a present. What’s he gonna do when your 1 year old gets older and asks to stay the night with his siblings at their dads house? To say he “can’t look, talk to or touch” the baby is extremely immature. I would have serious issues with this, only because that’s your other children’s father and he’s going to be around…
We are closely involved with my step daughters mom. We go to her other children’s birthdays that aren’t my step daughters, she comes to our children’s birthday parties, we buy each other Christmas presents and each other’s children Christmas presents, watch each other’s children if we need etc. there is NOTHING wrong with that. In fact, it’s healthy for children to see their blended families together and getting along like adults. This is just… frustrating. I’m sorry you’re going through it.

I think your ex is a pretty stand up guy honestly! It says he doesn’t want an innocent child feeling left out and that’s damn amazing! Your boyfriend is jealous and needs to get over himself! That child is your ex’s kids sibling, whether your boyfriend likes it or not that makes that child some part of his life. Your kids probably talk about their younger sibling and so on. I’d personally tell the boyfriend to deal that it isn’t doing any harm and only helps your kids feel good about the situation.

Sounds like your current bf is very insecure & possibly jealous of your ex. It was very thoughtful of your ex to buy your son a present, I mean he is a sibling with his kids. I see nothing wrong with that as it is a kind gesture. I’d have a huge problem with the way your bf is acting. Its not like your ex is trying to take his son away with a gift smh. That possessiveness is a huge red flag for me & I wouldn’t tolerate it. Kids are kids & they appreciate feeling loved, included & cared about. I mean how would your ex feel if your bf buys gifts for his/your kids? Surely he’d appreciate the gesture of the kids getting included. I’m sorry your bf doesn’t want your ex even talking to or looking at your baby. Your bf needs some major therapy & classes in growing up. That behavior is childish & uncalled for. I wish you luck in this situation. I know how I’d handle it but I’m not sure if you would be willing to have 2 ex’s. I’m sorry mama.

He definitely needs to get over it. You have to co parent with your ex and you are lucky to have someone willing teach your children that it’s okay to get along with each other. The sooner everyone gets along the better environment it will be for all of you. It’s sad when it takes a lifetime to figure it out. Tell your boyfriend that you don’t want to wait until you have grandchildren to get along. Life’s too short.

Is totally understandable your now boyfriend will feel that way. He needs to soften up to the idea that the kids from your ex and your child now, will be a round for a really long time and your ex is not going anywhere. Give it sometime he will adjust. This is all new to him. He will realize to blend both families and Co parenting will benefit all the kids and parents. Give it sometime. Check in with your boyfriend and make sure he will feel extra special. He’s a little insecure. Totally get it.
He should be happy your childrens dad is treating him like that. Most people say not my problem but he understands that his kids are related I think your boyfriend needs to growup and see that he had a child that has siblings from somebody else! You dont like it thats his issue he knew. I am happy your ex is so nice to ALL YOUR CHILDREN!
Your ex husband was extremely nice to even think of your child at all. What ex does that? Not many. Which proves you’re both adults in raising your children in a civil way.

It’s another adult male role model for our son and the lessons we’re trying to teach about being good, kind humans.
