AITAH for not being excited for a Mother’s Day gift
I 21 female have a two-year-old son with my 23 year-old baby father . We’ve been annoying each other for nine years , and have spent almost every major holiday together at least two times . About two years ago for Christmas I gifted my son’s dad with a shadowbox filled with baby pictures of my son , pregnancy test , our gender card , and hospital bands from my son was born . As you can tell, I am the type of person that saves the moment with everything I love gifting, people things that aren’t materialistic but priceless . I love to give people things that they can cherish , love and keep for a long time . Sometime last year, my son said, came clean and stated that the next time I get him something he doesn’t want anything “built” . Yes, the ungrateful bastard said “built” . I laughed it off, but honestly, I was hurt inside. I told him that I would never make him anything again . I was living with him last year and once I moved out, I took the shadowbox and replaced it with my son’s baby mittens, and pictures of all of us instead of just my son and his dad . On the top, I also included a picture of a baby angel symbolizing the miscarriage I had last year . For the past two weeks, my son that have been asking me what I want for Mother’s Day . I let him know that I wanted a ring and tennis bracelet set from Pandora that I’ve I’ve been wanting for about three years . And if he can’t get that, I wanted to get a huge blind box from Miniso . My son’s dad is a very materialistic person so I know if it wasn’t jewelry , shoes , or clothes than I knew it was money . My son said let me know that he needed to go to CVS to get a picture , which was my gift . He said that he got a picture from the best family day that we had and was going to go put it in a frame . He asked me to drop him off however I had to go get pictures myself and told him that he can go with me. He made excuses about going to go pick up the pictures. Honestly, I think that he got his other baby mom the same gift as me. Or he just didn’t get it at all. Not to sound ungrateful but “a picture” !!! like how hypocritical can he be? He’s not the sentimental giftgiving type. He’s always been the go pick out the ring that you want type . Only once in my life, he’s giving me a gift that he actually took the time to pick it out for me and surprise me with . Don’t get me wrong It would’ve been a sweet gesture however what he said to me last year is kind of sucking the fun out of receiving the picture frame. He also mentioned that next week when he get paid again, he’ll give me money so that I can make myself a scrapbook dedicated to my son . My birthday is also in May , and he stated that he’ll get me the ring and bracelet set that I wanted . I know everyone is like OK I’ll just have to be a little patient however, every time when it comes to me getting a gift or waiting to receive one something always comes up. For example, last year he took me to smoothie King for the first time , I love this so much that I wanted to make a tradition out of it. Every other week when he got paid when it was time for me to go something always came up. I know that bills and taken care of the kids are important however for him, I always made time or even Will give him my last to make sure that he ate. But he couldn’t spare $15 for me . I didn’t go until four months later.He also gave me $50 .
