FOBs Birthday


Its his birthday in a couple of weeks. I'm gonna look like a right bitch if I don't get something from Lola aren't I?

I really can't bring myself to buy a daddy card.

I'd rather these things were left to our parents...so my mum gets me something on mothers day/my bday. What should I do??!

He's given me £65 maintenance thats all, which is nothing compared to what he should have given me (I'm still waiting on the CSA to sort something out). He's never bought her a present and has only seen her 4 times.

I don't know if he'll get something for mothers day but I'd rather he didn't. I would rather my mum did it. If he did it I'd get something from the 99p store lol he's a cheapskate. X

Personally, I wouldn't get him anything.
If he's not been there for LO, why should you purchase something for him from her?
That's just my opinion though.

FOB managed to forget my birthday when we were still together, so he can jog on if he expects me to buy him anything lol

Id rather look like a bitch than have to spend any of my money on him

I wouldnt get him anything, whenever he comes to visit Lola he should be bringing her a gift! If u buy him a bday present it encourages the buying and hed feel like he needs to buy for ur bday or mothers day or xmas ... infact no thinking of it, i really cant see him buying u a present to mummy from lola on ur birthday!!!

At the end of the day its ur choice but I know u wont want to buy anything and why should u - and if they say anything about it then just say well Lolas not old enough yet to know about birthdays or anything so u cant expect her to buy u a present. Theres not a lot they can say anyway and they probably think ur a birth wether u are or not (and i know ur not ) xxx
