Say something, or zip my lip?
So tomorrow is fathers day and SS12 and I picked out a gift for DH last weekend. This was his request for me to bring him to the store, he picked it out himself and wanted to use all his money to buy it. I only had him go in on half bc I felt bad having him use his last dime. I am very proud of him for thinking of his dad and using his own money. Now my SS16 was not around all week. He drives and get money from odd jobs all the time, so I dint even ask him if he was getting anything for DH. I have a strong feeling that tomorrow when they come over SS16 will have nothing for his father, most likely not even a card. His dad does so much for him and they have a fantastic relationship but SS16 only thinks about himself. I will be SO pissed if he disentangle get him anything. Should I have a talk with him about the basics of respect if he shows empty handed or just let it roll. I already have anxiety about a possible confrontation with him. Just makes me so mad that he expects everything and gets it from his dad, but gives little to nothing in return. Hopefully I am wrong and he will have at least a card.

I think I'd mention it. Kids
I think I'd mention it. Kids need to be taught these things by adults and you're the person responsible for teaching these two. The Father can't do it obviously, that's his job around Mother's Day.
Don't be mean or make it come off like a lesson, but let him know that it would mean a great deal to his dad and that it's just what people DO.
