My feelings are hurt. I don't matter.
His birthday is in four days and I was going to order him an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins and take him out to a nice dinner and buy him a steak. I have several small gifts plus I was going to give him cash to buy video games but now I don't even care. No cake, no cash and I will choose just one of the gifts to give him.
Like they say, it's the thought that counts and my son clearly doesn't think much of me.  |
I'm so sorry to hear that. It reminds me of how my Dad felt when I disappointed him on Father's Day. It's a heartbreaking feeling for both parties. How old is your son? Maybe he is surprising you with something? That is truly hurtful.
EDIT: From the sound of you giving him cash for video games, he sounds like a teenager. He may be struggling with money. I am 23 and I asked my Dad for money to help with Mother's Day gifts and treats because I am in between jobs and I am struggling with money. If he is working minimum wage, then he may not be able to afford a gift and he may be ashamed that he can't give you something. But I don't know the situation.
