Update: AITJ for not giving my ex a Mother's Day gift when she just had our kid?

UPDATE

My fiancee and I broke up almost a month after my original post. I stuck to my guns and refused to use my savings to help her parents with their mortgage. So, we have been split almost three months. She has been living with her parents. They are filing for bankruptcy.

Our kid came a little early and was born on May 2nd. Mom and baby are healthy. I was not invited to be at the hospital, but I have been visiting every day and bringing diapers, food, etc., whatever they need.

On Mother's Day, I had my oldest (as mentioned in original post, I have a 10 year old son from a previous relationship) all day and my ex did not want me to come over with him. I wished her a happy Mother's Day and that was the extent of our interaction on that day.

Yesterday, I went over while my oldest was at school. She asked me why I did not get her anything for Mother's Day. I asked, "Was I supposed to?" \[NOTE: I never get anything for my oldest's mother since we split\]. My ex follows my oldest's mother and my oldest's mother posted a thank you to our son for his Mother's Day gift and thanked me for helping. He wrote and recorded her an original song. I am a musician and I helped give pointers along the way, but he did all the work. On Mother's Day, we went over and he sang it for her while I played guitar.

My ex says I am a massive AH for not getting her a Mother's Day gift when I "did" for my oldest's mom. As far as I am concerned, I did not get her a gift at all. My ex kicked me out.

AITJ?
