    My OH's ex wife also tried to do the 'friends' thing. Only problem was it wasn't friends it was marriage without the good stuff. So basically a continuation of their marriage. She even wanted him to buy her a mother's day present (despite living with another man).

    I think me having a baby got the message through!

    Your OH should be buying his Ex a Mother's day present from their children. Why should her new man buy a gift from children that are not even his?
    Do you buy your OH a Father's day gift from the children he has with his Ex or does she do that.

    My OH buys me presents from my eldest 2 which aren't his biological kids and it's never been a problem for him.

    The ex always asks me to get his family cards from the kids though and i refuse. I don't ask him to buy stuff from the kids for my family!

    I say to him, when it comes to the kids, you sort out your family and i'll sort out mine.

    Simple.

    I'm not close to his family at all, they see the kids once a year if that and that's ony if ex takes them. I've always had my door open for them but they don't come. Ah well it's their loss if they don't want to see their Grandchildren!
