Fathers Day Dad freakout…help?

Well I’m sitting alone in my room now because my dad freaked out on me. Umm basically what happened was my dad just got done shopping with my mother and my mom called up and asked if I need some bolts for my car and I said sure thank you and I told my dad happy fathers day. Well when they got home I was playing a videogame for a moment and I’ve been playing them alot since I was 12. My dad came and screamed up the stairs saying hey what are you doing. I said playing a video game. My dad says how long till your down. I said like 10 mins. He said why. I said I’m finishing something up. Well then he was freaking out downstairs apparently and I was down in 5 mins cause my game finished early and my dad was like your game finally done? and I was like yea. He started being a jerk to me then and treating me like a dog And I toledm dad stop being so mean. Well then after saying im not going to take your crap I walked in side and he was telling me now you can be on your own dont ask me for anything because your not going to treat me like a dog. and he told my mom shes not to help me with anything or hes done with her too. So I’m in a pickle here I dont know what to do now im not allowed to even eat family food in the house anymore. Please tell me why my dad is being like this on fathers day and what I should do. Ps I did get him a fathers day gift with my brother so that cant be the reason.

Would it be selfish to father a lot of kids by different women just to get more gifts on Father’s Day?

Show your daddy how much you love him kiddies.

Do you thank the Father for the gifts you receive every day in this beautiful world?

I’m not saying you have to or anything. It’s not a judgement, just a question.

gift baskets for Christmas for his family?

I’ve been with my guy for a fairly decent length of time now. I get on with his family great, they’re fantastic. I don’t get along so well with my own family, and don’t buy presents for anyone but my parents and my children (and my guy of course). So this year I was thinking, since his family have been so good to me, that I should get them a little something. Would it be a good idea to make some personalised gift baskets? His sister is about to have a baby, so I was thinking a pamper/beauty basket for her to make her feel good after the pregnancy. His parents (especially his dad) love wine (not alcoholics, just appreciate good wine), so I was thinking of getting 2 wine glasses personalised with their names and presenting them in a bucket with a nice bottle of wine? His brother loves movies so I was thinking a gift card for our local cinemas, some microwave popcorn, soda cans and a dvd. His young neice is a huge Justin Beiber fan, but I’ve already bought her his new book.

Do you think this would be ok? Or is it too impersonal/cheap? I really want to show them how much I’ve appreciated them.

Asked not to attend BF’s daughter’s birthday party due to exwife and her family attending?

Been dating a great guy – or so I thought – for a few months. We are both in our 40s. We have daughters the same age and they attend the same elementary school. That is how we met. Very nice and natural. However, with his daughter‘s birthday coming soon, it all came out from him that he thought it was best that I did not attend her party.There is also 5-8 little girls from their school coming too so it is not just all about the ex’s family and her being there. He told me point blank that he was afraid that the ex would either have an attitude with me being there or I would make the situation uncomfortable for her or be uncomfortable myself. He said he didn’t want any drama during the party that would take away from the daughter. I told him he knew I was not that kind of person and he agreed but didn’t know what would happen. A couple of times the ex and I have crossed paths at the BFs home. There wasn’t much to say and nothing much was said. I know that one of the first times she ran into me at the house, she just walked in the door to pick her daughter up for visitation unannounced and I was standing in the kitchen in his bathrobe making coffee. We have had a great time and relationship up until now. My kids and his would all get together for weekends, cookouts, dinners, etc. Just a wonderful time. Suddenly, the first “family event” and he is what I feel, wanting me to take a hike. He had asked me to come over after the party for dinner with him and his kids and bring his daughter‘s bday gift to avoid any possible problem with his daughter‘s mother. This little girl I have grown to be fond of. I bring her home with my kids after school somedays when her Dad is working and she has no supervision from her college age sisters . I have included her in some of our outings, meals, and occasions. I even took her treat or treating with my kids and helped her get a costume together as no one in her family seemed able to interested to help. A little background on the ex and my bf’s former marriage – the ex is domineering and controlling…the bf a very kind and unconfrontational type of man who is always wanting to please and avoid conflict. He obviously had been so henpecked in his marriage it wasn’t funny. We all know who wore the pants and cracked the whip and he was the first to admit it himself. Things I think are happening….1) The ex has told him not to have me at the party 2) My BF has decided himself I should not come to the party because he is afraid of a drama from the ex toward me 3)My BF is wanting to protect me from the ex and her possibly offending me/insulting me. What do the Yahoo Answers think is going on and how should I handle this…The relationship may be over because of the BF’s actions.
Just to clarify – there is no separate childrens portion or separate adult portion of the party. It is all one event. I was asked to come over AFTER EVERYONE WAS GONE.
Also, as to Marilyn’s remark about not being part of the family that is what is the issue. My kids and I were included as part of his family since we have been together. I felt there was more to the relationship from the way he treated me and my kids.
Great Answer by Carol, but let me add that the mom left my BF with all 3 of their girls about 6 months ago to get her independance and pretty much relive her high school days from what I know. She was cheating on my BF for months before she left with a married man who she actually left the BF for and won’t keep their daughter overnight on Saturdays as that is the only nite her married man can see her. She told her older girls that they have sex all over her apt and spend the evening naked. So, my BFs daughter is living with Dad in the marital home that her mom walked out of, so the bday party is there due to the little girls’ friends and school etc.

Is it useful or pointless to find out if my ex-girlfriend’s daughter is mine?

I’m not a deadbeat by any means. First off, I don’t even know if I AM a father or not. I’ll be 20 in October. I’d appreciate a lack of prejudice for what I’m about to say. But I’m gay, I’ve known since I was a kid. But I had a girlfriend named Ebony from age 14-16, an on and off thing. Now, she’s going to be 21 in August. Ebony found out she was pregnant after we had broken up for good. But I wasn’t the only guy she was with(we were ON and Off constantly). After her daughter was born in 2008, I kind of begged her to find out who the dad is but she was too embarassed about the situation. So, I stopped pushing it. Ebony’s daughter has almost the same exact facial features as Ebony,except her skin is much lighter. Ebony is black; about as dark as Michelle Obama. I’m half Cuban and half German. But then again, I’m not the only white or Latino guy she’s been with.

Ebony and I remained friends up to this day. No hard feelings. I live in Miami but she moved to Jacksonville after she had her daughter. Yes both are in Florida but they’re NOT close AT ALL. I send her daughter gifts for her birthday and Xmas every year. Not because I’m convinced that I’m her father but I just happen to have a good heart, plus Ebony is my friend for life. I love that girl. Ebony is getting married in April. She and her fiance know for a fact that the daughter isn’t his but apparently he loves her and he’s willing to raise her. My boyfriend and I are both invited to the wedding. I can either continue to be a godfather to my POSSIBLE daughter and not bother to find out. Or I can find out and still be there for her regardless of the results. Now, honestly I’m cool with either decision. It’s not exactly eating me up inside. You know? But what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Am I greedy about gifts or is my boyfriend just a jerk?

My “boyfriend” & I have been together for almost 3 years. We are expecting a baby. For my birthday a few months ago he gave me a card that said we could have a trip anywhere – just he & I (as opposed to his kids, their friends, his mom, etc coming too). After he gave me the card he said I couldn’t really use the free trip because he was short on money. The month prior he gave his son $300 for his birthday & the month following gave his daughter $200 for her birthday.

Last Christmas he gave me a necklace in my stocking & said Christmas is for kids, not adults so I don’t get anything but a stocking stuffer from him. He eventually gave me a ring that he “forgot” he bought & had “left in his car.”

He has bragged to me about getting helicopter dates for his ex-wife, Tiffany’s jewelry for some ex-fling that he cheated on me with, spending thousands of dollars on his kids & ex-step son’s gift but hasn’t bought me one gift in almost a year. Nothing on Valentine’s, nothing on my birthday, nothing on mother’s day because even though I take care of his kids full-time I am “not their mother.” When I asked him why he’s like this he pointed out that he finally bought a stroller for “my baby” that I’m having …. and yes, it’s his baby too. He then said I can let “other men” buy me gifts if that’s what I want. I have no other man, except my ex-husband helps my 8 year old son buy my birthday & Christmas gifts, a practice I use for his dad & my boyfriend. I even gave his kids money to buy their mom’s gift because their dad was out of town for the weekend. He does not give them money to buy my gifts.

Additionally, he budgets $200-800 for his kids Christmas gifts (last year his 12 year old got a laptop) but says he will spend no more than $15 on my son because he “doesn’t need anything.” Fortunately, my son only mentioned once “I wish I had a Christmas like that!” to his kids.

Am I just a greedy b*#@ch or what? I’d love a way to come to peace with this but I don’t really plan on being with guy (for many more reasons than gifts…) much longer so should I just forget it? The whole Christmas/Mother’s Day/Valentine’s Day/Birthday thing has kinda hurt my feelings & I don’t know why….

Need holiday gift ideas to/from 10 month old boy, as well as holiday decorating ideas for nursery?

our son will be 10 months old this December
(first holiday season)
he has both Christian and Jewish heritage, so we’d like to incorporate that into our celebrations

as for interests-
he loves the zoo (especially the tropical frog exhibit), music (his father plays guitar and he really seems to enjoy watching dada play), and playing outside (real nature lover, enjoys hiking with mama)

We’re looking for gifts (toys, educational items, or toddler furniture) that he’ll enjoy and maybe grow with.
We’re also hoping to find a good gift that we can give to his aunts, uncles, grandparents on his behalf.
And if anyone has any craft type projects- we enjoy crafting and are hoping to find a cute way to decorate his nursery and playroom for the holidays (for example: we dressed his stuffed animals up in costume for Halloween). We were planning on giving him his own little tree so maybe ideas for homemade orniments that we can make for him.

Thank you for any suggestions, ideas, websites that may help us in planning our son’s first holiday season-

My 8 month old is gifted, what can I do to encourage her development?

My baby is 8 months old and gifted. I always knew that she was smart, but her doctor told me that she’s meeting milestones most kids don’t reach until they are around 18 months old and is technically ‘gifted’, at least with language. For example if you ask her if she’d like some milk yet she’ll hold out her hand and say, ‘now’. She also says, ‘hi’ in response to hi and understands not just who ‘dada‘ is, but which things belong to him and the sound of his voice on my cell phone. If I hide a toy under a blanket leave the room with her and come back an hour to ask her where the toy is she remembers and will move the blanket herself to find the toy. I’m blown away by the things she saying and doing. How can I help nurture her intelligence? Should I put her in infant music lessons or buy books for older kids or what? I really want to help with her development.
Thanks
Hey don’t be rude people. I’m just trying to be a good parent and help keep her stimulated. I’m not the one who diagnosed her as gifted, 3 doctors did that. To be honest I think it’s cool but I’m kind of intimidated because I don’t know how to help her learn.
