I pay x amount of child support, and I wanted to get opinions about something that is bothering me. I have 2 kids with my ex wife, my son’s birthday was Sunday, he is 3, I did not get him any gifts, his mother did. I live 6 hours away, and showed ip to see him for his birthday. My ex wife’s mother asked me if i got him anything, i looked at her, she looked at me and said “oh no you didnt, huh”. My thoughts are that i pay so much in child support, am i obligated to get him a gift? If that makes me a bad father, then i am guilty.
