Boys r us replied: Hmm...That's a tough one.
If you get him anything, I would think a card would be plenty. Or maybe if you have a picture of JUST his son or his son and Grant, put it in a frame for him. But make sure the picture doesn't have you or Jenna in it..you know..you don't want to imply anything and have him running for dry ground you know how men can be!
mammag replied: I agree, make sure it's something light and doesn't imply a serious relationship. The picture is a great idea!
gr33n3y3z replied: I agree with Nichole Keep it simple
mummy2girls replied: no i dont mean from his son:) I mean from me.. like a cvard from me wishing him a fathers day and hoping it will be a good day kind of card. because i know there are cards out there from gf's or friends
gr33n3y3z replied: I think that would be nice
ian'smommy replied: A card like that sounds fine to me.
Boys r us replied: Oh I know you mean from you, but I still think if you had a nice snapshot of his son, it would be a nice gift from you to frame it and give it to him with a card. My advice is just don't let it get too mushy!
moped replied: I am not sure I would give him anything - but say happy fathers day....................tough one!
3_call_me_mama replied: I would go with a nice card, nothing mushy, and the picture is a nice idea. Or maybe make him a nice dinner and tell him you really admire all the things he does as a father for Aiden and you want to give him a break for the evening so you're making him a special meal. Implies nothing, just shows that you recognize that he is a wonderful father. I've done this for friends who are single fathers before i was married, just out of respect for their devotion to their kids! Men need to be appreciated too! (Especially if their ex's aren't doing anything from their kids)
lisar replied: No not at all. I would buy him something small and sweet that he will like. Dont go way out just yet. I would have liked it if someone bought me something on mothers day when I was still a single parent.

Trish_4boys replied: I would and I don't see the big deal in making sure it is only a card or whatever. I have friends that I get gifts for fathers day. Anyone who is a father could get a gift it doesn't have to only be people you are in a serious relationship with.
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: How about not actually buying him something, but taking him out for a picnic or something that makes him feel pampered. It's not like his son is going to think of that. This way he can spend time with you and Jenna and his son. A card is nice, but if I were in your shoes, I would spend an hour in the store picking out just the right one and then get home to spend another hour figuring out what the appropriate thing would be to write in it. Just have fun!
