[quote=Anonymous]We have a blended family. The holidays are complicated because we alternate them and the families do tend to compete, even though my ex and I get along relatively well. Usually what works best is for me to tell him what I'm going to get DC for Christmas so that we don't buy duplicates and then he gets him whatever he wants (so long as it's safe and appropriate, I guess, but I've never had problems with that). I wouldn't go against the mom's wishes in buying gifts if she explicitly told you no, but next year I wouldn't ask for permission and I'd get what you think is appropriate. If she doesn't like it, the kid can use it when he is at your house. [/quote]
