If your ex is the father of your children should you wish him a Happy Father’s Day?

[coachTanthony]

Yes

No

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes. If you have a child together, you should learn how to coexist because you will be coming together for milestone events in your child's life and, later, in your grandchildren's lives. Being hostile to your ex makes life more difficult for everyone else around you.

[OfMiceandMen]

I think if he makes an effort with his kids, then yes. If he has nothing to do with them then no. Let the kids say it, but bite your tongue if he's a deadbeat.

[dustybiker2]

I agree with you. But sometimes saying it is being the bigger person. For kids sake. The deadbeat is still their father.
I have a friend who has two amazing boys out of a deadbeat. He was never there for the now young men, and the man died a couple years ago homeless on the streets. They hated him but they still felt that hurt.

[OfMiceandMen]

@dustybiker2 The homeless person you refer to would definitely be the exception, that is more of a rare situation, especially if there was some mental illness going on. Under those rare circumstances you can't fault the person, even though it is still rough for the kids. Just a tough situation all-round.

[dustybiker2]

Agreed.

[LaurenM1997]

My mum doesn’t have anything to do with my dad unless it’s really important like I’ve ended up in hospital cause of my heart condition I’m 27 and I deal with him all the time but we aren’t on good terms rn

[dustybiker2]

Unless a rapist (and the obvious entailed) a person should be mature enough to show their children what mature adults are like.

[dustybiker2]

Thanks for MHO

[AI Opinion]

Absolutely! Keeping things amicable and respectful, especially for the kiddos, is key. A simple "Happy Father's Day" can go a long way in maintaining a positive atmosphere. It's not just about the relationship between you two but also about acknowledging the role he plays in your children's lives. Plus, it models good manners and respect for your kids! So go ahead, spread a little love and positivity. It's these little gestures that can smooth the path for everyone involved. 😊

[Finchie40]

Only if you both have mutual understandings and respect for each other , than wishing him a Happy Fathers’ Day shouldn’t be a big deal , My ex wished me a happy fathers’ day even though we aren’t together anymore , but we still are mutual for the kids sake

[AviatorTom]

Of course. Why would you not?

[Dongie]

Funny that you should ask that coach. A friend, lets say Michael, because that's his name. Had a similar experience today. His ex, bless her heart, has a boyfriend who let Michael know that his two kids wished him, the boyfriend, a happy Father's Day. She was laughing, Michael said, in the background. Nah, he didn't get to see his kids today because it's not his weekend. She doesn't exchange weekends unless she needs to.

[Dongie]

Coach did you see that? It's removal time.

[sage2021]

Hell no. He abandoned us when our son was only a few months old. Yep! December 2nd just before Christmas!

[fhaofhrnwpalxbr]

If he’s actively involved and keeping the kids happy and safe, yes. If the kids don’t recognize him as their dad, then maybe not.

[HawkPerception]

As long as he's not a piece of shit guy, I don't see why not.

[Wiredone]

If you split up on good terms and he's a good father, yes it's ok to wish him a happy father's day. If he was a bad father and just left you, no don't waste your time

[Bricealan]

I get "Happy Fathers day" wishes, and am not a father? (I don't think?)

[BetaBucks]

Wait, these messages aren't from ex gfs though, right? Cuz if so, some dude is definitely raising your kids.

[Bricealan]

@BetaBucks 🤔🤔🤔🤔👍😂😂😂😂 well and yet another GAG member with a great sense of humor!!!

Thank you for that !!!

[BetaBucks]

Lol 🤝 🍻

[NathanDavis]

depends on the relationship

[coachTanthony]

Love Doctor Brad says ABSOLUTELY

[IslaTheWitch]

our kids should :D

[alice55]

No, only children wish happy father day to their parent, I mean that's the point of things...

[msc545]

Yes, and if he isn't the father of your children, which is very likely, you probably should just shut up before you make him realize what happened to him.

[electromagnetic]

Depends how we ended.

[RedInnocent69]

No, you don’t have to. But you should encourage your kids to.

[exitseven]

Yes, if he is current on his childsupport.

[Anonymous]

If he's around to wish him a happy Father's Day, yes.

[KittygosMeoWW]

No fuxk him lol

[coachTanthony]

[KittygosMeoWW]

I promise I’m not a bitter bm he’s just a shit person/dad

[coachTanthony]

[Pavy1981]

[Jamie05rhs]

Only if he's doing a good job.
