Summary
Question: My husband's ex just e-mailed him (he is away, in the war) asking him to identify videos he wants and she will pay to have them made into a new DVD. The videos were taken when the kids were under the ages of 6 and 8 -- they are now 16 and 18 -- and this was to be his birthday present. I think it is odd for the ex to orchestrate the creation of a video of old family movies that will clearly include all of them. Four years ago, at his birthday, she created a scrapbook with old pictures of the boys and him.
Answer: Red Flag! You might be jumping to conclusions. It's not clear that the video of which you speak "will include all of them." You said the scrapbook of years ago included pictures of Dad and the boys, not Mom, Dad and the boys. We take it that the pictures contained in the scrapbook were pictures Mom had saved after the divorce, made copies for Dad, and constructed a scrapbook. If that is the case, we congratulate Mom for taking the time to construct such a wonderful gift. However, if the scrapbook included lots of pictures of "the way we were," then that's tacky, and bad ex- etiquette. There usually is an ulterior motive to that kind of present, and new marriage boundaries need to be made clear to eliminate things like that in the future.See the full content of this document
