Um. Tell stepmother to zip it.
It’s NONE OF HER BUSINESS!She’s pushing you around cuz your letting her.
You’re his mother. You can give your child any fucking gift you want. If his dad had a problem with it, he should’ve said something. The stepmother can shut her fucking mouth.
No one will dictate what I give my children bet I gave them babies life shes the stepmom she needs to get back into the backseat where she belongs…if there is an issue dad can address it

ignore her, she’s clearly just looking for a reason to fight.
That’s your son, and your money you earned to buy him a gift.
You are no way in the wrong in this situation.
Tell the step mom to shut her cake hole. It’s your child. Of course you’re going to give your old watch to your 13 year old who has a phone vs your younger children who don’t even have phones 
if dad has an issue with it he can discuss it with you, step mom has zero place to say shit though.
Lmao. The stepmom would be left on read. Next.

None of step mom’s business what gifts you give YOUR Children. Period.
Shes petty cause aint nobody that aint my babies parents gone tell me how to raise my kids at all
You gave birth to your children and no one should get involved in the relationship you have with them or what you give them, you have to have character to put people in their place.
For one- it’s none of her business what you buy for (your son.) Probably just jealous your ex hasn’t bought one for her. 
Stepmom needs to simmer down and realize she is overstepping her role.

I dare a step mommy to try to complain about any gift, that i give to any of my children!! I had full custody of MY kids with Daddies coming at their convenience. No One, ever had any rights to complain!! Ignore this woman!! Definitely, do not allow her to control you, when it comes to things like this!! Sounds like she just wants to have something to complain about.

Years ago my husband and I bought my step-son his first iPhone. The mother threw a fit and we thought it was because we did not buy one for his older brother. (That’s a long story) In the end it was more about jealous over her son having a better phone than her and two weekends later she and her husband had them. Maybe she is jealous over the watch? As a stepmom myself that seems very silly to be upset over.
It’s your child period no reason she should be questioning you about it…

She needs to step back and realize shes a STEP mom and you are the MOTHER. If she doesnt like something she needs to make sure the husband is on the same page and discuss it with you in a calmer manner. That’s uncalled for. Thats your child that you gave birth to. Her opinions on gifts that YOU give YOUR child are irrelevant.

Talk to your ex. If he doesn’t have a problem with it then it doesn’t matter what she thinks. Not her child.
I would tell her in the nicest way possible that although you appreciate her role she plays in your sons life that that is your child & unless it effects their household in someway it’s none of her business what you decide to give or do for your child.

Does he live with them? Is he grounded? Did he have bad grades? Does his dad have an issue with it? Sometimes exes have trouble talking to their exes many times they have their gf or wife be a middle person which isnt right. Co parenting is hard if all involved arent on the same page. I think its time to sit down with him and her and discuss some things
It sounds like she’s coming from a good place. She cares about how your other children may feel. That’s a blessing. I didn’t have that growing up. She could work on her communication better but it seems like a good place.

Tell her to bad. Your son, your watch. You don’t need her permission at all or his dads for that matter cause it is not costing them anything. I always gave my son what o wanted and took him to places I wanted to for day trips or vacations I didn’t ask his dad first or his gf ever.

They’re YOUR kids I, as a step mom would NEVER say shit to my step daughters mom PERIOD what goes on in my house ain’t none of her business and what goes on in hers is none of ours. What she provides is what she provides and vice versa.
Parallel parenting. Keeping the watch at your house will shut her up, but it will also show your son how petty they are being. It sucks, but you don’t want them to take it away “never to see daylight again.” It’s not playing favorites. My kids have gotten things based on their ages. At this point they all have the same things except my 7yo doesn’t have a PS4. Do what you want though for real.

I think this would be a present that should at least be discussed. It’s your right to give it but make sure everyone is on the same page w it. Also that everyone understands the technology. I personally think the rules for one house should stand at the other house. Having him only have it your house is in a way teaching him to undermine his father and disobey him. In a perfect world y’all could all come to a universal agreement. But clearly y’all are not together for a reason. I’d just try. Yes I disagree w step mom contacting you you vs dad or a mutual meet up/Convo but sometimes things catch you so off guard you act before you think.

Everyone saying how its not her business or not her place but as a stepmother he IS HER BUSINESS. When she married the father she took the role of second mom. So yes if he brings this item into HER house your damn right she should have a say. Grow the hell up and co parent with each other and stop making it about your own egos. All the people “MY KID” no you are immature. It should be “OUR KID”. Watches affect screen time, okay, who s paying his phone bill? And do you realize he s texting way more because its on his phone? All the parents mad their kid s are ignoring them during dinner and you give a teenager another way to text even if you tell him to put his phone away. Different houses should still have the same rules.

Girl that is your son! She has no right to say what you can or can’t do for your own son! She needs to know her place!
Not her place she needs to slow her roll if there was a real issue dad should have contacted… And i see no issue of you choosing one of your children over another and showing favoritism if the others are too young. Maybe talk to your other kids if they feel some type of way maybe get them something cool thats within their age range… Unless this was something special like for bday or earned then they just need to understand. This was a special present for this or that reason…
