Question ladies, my ex and I separated a little more than a year ago and he is now getting married the end of the summer to a gal he dated some 16 years ago. Honetly I'm happy for them, I know what she's getting and she can have him, and I got the best part of him in our 2 amazing children. Which brings me to my question. A mutual friend of ours was telling me about where they were registered and he told me he thought it was odd that aside from Macy's and crate and Barrel and a couple of like stores, they also registered at REI. Out of the 8 items they registered for 2 were cooking gear and the rest was all stuff for the kids who are 5 and 2.5. I found it odd that the bride who has NOT meet the kids for many reasons and most based on my sons emotional instability at this time (but that's another story), would actually register for items for the kids. Am I wrong or is this odd or is this the new trend? I have been to many weddings where there are kids from a previous relationship and in all my years have never seen this. Thoughts?
