The other day, my ex finally, after 2 months of not seeing them, came and saw the boys for an hour (yeah only an hour... her life is so important absent of them she had to get right back to it o.O ) anyway it was to tell them about their grandma's passing. But that's another subject. She had gotten money for each of the boys from their brother and had asked me to put it on their steam accounts (steam is a gaming platform/delivery system online). Well after she left, I gave each their portion of the money.. so they could go buy games they wanted.

About 15 min later my 12 yr old (the aspie one) comes over and was, very excited. "Dad, dad, check out your steam account! I sent you something" Usually he sends me silly links to youtube videos or pictures he put on his DA account. Anyway so I logged in and found a gift. He had gone out of his way to buy me a game he knew I wanted. O.O out of his meager $50 he got, he thought to spend some on his dad for no apparent reason but to be generous. I hugged him and said that was very nice of him. I also made sure to emphasize that it was for him, and not to spend anymore of his money on me lol.

He's like me, apparently in that manner. I guess I must be doing something right.

Anyway... I'm a proud father. I had to share this because I think my boys are great.. and it's something positive in my life, that is, to have them. I also feel that giving to people and thinking of them is so much more important than getting what you can out of them. I'm glad my boys think the same way.

It's sounds like you're doing a good job and that they're developing a sense of decency and caring for others. That's important and severely lacking in today's society.

That is so sweet. Some times Aspeis show love in strange ways now don't they. You are a good dad and your boys will never forget that.

Mine bought me a Lady Gaga CD. Because I have told him when you get something for someone it should be something you would like. Other wise he will buy you pencils, deoderent, aquarium rocks just what ever he sees. So for mothers day one year he gave me a Lady Gaga CD. Wow Thanks was all I could say. The fact that he was able to think in a more concrete way said love no matter what the gift. Though I am glads it was not mens deoderent. Sorry not trying to take over your thread just sharing. Forgive me.

Omg that has made me cry, that is so sweet...

And the crying is just what I need.

You should be so proud of yourself right now for the excellent work you are doing

A little bit of pride is good and you should have it. Considering our low self-esteem, the likelihood of it going to your head is, well, less than 0.
