Hi all:
I split up with my ex 2 years ago. Since then I've bought a new home, with bedrooms for my two kids whom I don't see nearly enough - it feels silly having these dedicated rooms when my kids will barely be spending 40 days per year in them...anyway, that's not the question.
Using my son as an example, I've bought him countless gifts over the last couple of years - including laptop, xbox, etc. etc. I was tidying up his room today and I just noticed it's as still barren as when I first moved in. I just realized that he takes each gift "home" with him - so ... I'm stocking his bedroom at my ex's place, while his bedroom at my place stays empty.
So my question is, is that the way it is and I should just get used to it? Or do I give my children some gifts with the proviso that they stay at my place? (and consequently sit there gathering dust - unused.)
I can't be the only one with this issue. Somebody here has already figured this out! :-)
