Totally inappropriate and pretty creepy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192353 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:11:16 +0000 autumnlove 192353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I better call her later to make sure she didn't buy something off their registry!!! She dated him throughout college but they went to grad schools in different states.They were doing long distance and planning their wedding when he broke it off because he was interested in someone else...his wife now. I don't think my BFF ever got over that heartbreak! :-(<br /> I definitely think his wife would be creeped out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192347 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:03:07 +0000 skibobrown 192347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only would if I was still close with the ex... so in this case, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192346 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:03:07 +0000 Grace 192346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Especially since they don't keep in touch. And who knows, even if it wasn't malicious, it might be perceived that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192340 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:57:25 +0000 chopsuey 192340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hells no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192338 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:54:52 +0000 Jumpingjacks 192338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! This is not appropriate at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192331 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:43:17 +0000 mrstilly 192331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No Way! </p> <p>It's not appropriate and as the new mom, I really wouldn't like it. If they ended on good terms, it might be a little different, but since it was a bad ending, then it's really not a good idea. </p> <p>My husband's ex sent a gift a while after DS was born. This was a little different because it was malicious, not with good intentions at all, but even if it had been with good intentions I would have been upset. Any contact with an ex that you ended on bad terms with is going to be tense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192319 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:33:15 +0000 mrs. bird 192319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were the baby mama, I think I'd feel uncomfortable with receiving that gift. </p> <p>I would not send my ex a gift, maybe a 'congrats on your new family &amp; I wish you all the best!' on Facebook, but I can't imagine them wanting a reminder of me on their baby in the form of an outfit or blanket sent as a gift. That would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192316 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:31:30 +0000 Weagle 192316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ew. no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192314 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:30:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 192314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in that scenario, no!</p> <p>If they were still friends, then yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192313 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:29:21 +0000 MamaMoose 192313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. That would be awkward for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192312 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:29:05 +0000 heffalump 192312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In that situation no way. I have given an ex wedding and baby gifts, but we're still friends and I'm friends with his wife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192311 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:28:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 192311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no wayyy, I definitely would not. especially if they aren't even in contact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192310 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:26:45 +0000 mrbee 192310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not. Unless it was like a Secret Santa or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-your-ex-a-baby-gift#post-192309 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:25:14 +0000 autumnlove 192309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF found out through the grapevine that her ex fiance had a baby last month. She wants to send him a gift but I told her not to be a creep...they haven't spoken in over 8 years and definitely did not end on good terms!</p> <p>What do you think? Would you send a gift? </p>
