New girlfriend gives ex wife a gift?

[Anonymous]

When meeting the ex wife for the first time, would you give her a small gift? As a sign of respect to her because there are kids involved.

That would be weird to me, but maybe it's normal in your culture, I don't know

Not sure… it sounds nice but she and the kids may interpret it as you trying to hard or are trying to buy their approval. How are y’all meeting?
