my daughters bio-dad is in prison and has put her on a list to recieve gifts from a charity. They send something from him every couple of months which would be ok with me but they send it with cards that sign "love, Daddy"...well my ex has been gone for yrs and my daughter has a wonderful man who she considers her daddy. My ex NEVER calls or writes and has had no contact with her in at all in over a yr. She calls him by his first name. Here's my problem...my daughter is 5 and would think that he is a great for sending her the gifts. I personally don't think it's fair to us, her parents, who are raising ehr and doing the best they can with no support. A box came today and I usually don't give her the things becaus emost of the time it's junk. Today's box had some clothes, bathing suit, a waterpark pass, and a craft thing that she would really like in it. I want to give her the things but I really don't want to tell her who they are from...what should do? Suck up my pride and tell her her father had them sent even though he really had nothing to with it other then adding her to the list, tell her they are form charity, or just give them to her and make no mention of where they came from?
