It's not because I think he is actually the worlds greatest Father, he even 'forgot' to pick our daughter up yesterday (http://sym-ple1.blogspot.com/2015/06/you-got-scarlett.html) but, is it the adult thing to do even though we haven't been together for 3 years?
I'd never thought about getting a Father's Day present for him before as my parents buy me Mother's Day from Scarlett, so I presumed that his Mum would do the same for him.
However, much to my shock and amazement, Scarlett handed me a box of truffles on Mother's Day this year and said she had bought them with Daddy (I checked for anything potentially gross hiding in them, but I'm still alive, so it's all good).
So, do I have to return the gesture and buy him a pair of socks with 'Best Daddy' stitched on them from Poundland?
If it was an olive branch he was extending by buying the chocolates, then I am still in the dark holding the dead remains of it, but I'm pretty certain Scarlett pestered him so much to get me something that he relented and put his hand in his very deep pocket.
He is just very confusing to me, I don't understand him and I don't want anything that I give to him (from Scarlett) to fracture our relationship even more.
I'm sure if I did buy him something, regardless of if Scarlett gave it to him, that it would end up in the bin, or in my face.
I'm just constantly banging my head against a brick wall and I'm running out of ideas. Maybe I will return the favor and buy him a box of chocolates, then when they are thrown back at me at least I won't waste them.
