Father's Day gift...
Is an engraved bottle of Scotch an appropriate gift from an 11 year old son to his dad on Father's Day? TIA

Re: Father's Day gift...
If Dad likes Scotch than it's perfectly fine!
My 7 year old saw a card with a picture of a beer on it and first thing he said was he needs to get that card for dad bc he likes beer.

Father's Day gift...
I think it is fine.
Last year, I picked up a specialty beer for my DH from my 4 year old son. I plan to do the same this year.

Re: Father's Day gift...
Thanks all. On a forum on Facebook I got the following: As a dad I would be shocked , how about two tickets to a baseball game Mets , Yankees or even for the Li i Ducks A father Son Day .Just my opinion.
And: “I feel there are better alternatives then to focus on someones love/affinity for alcohol. Especially when it’s coming from a child. I have 4 adult sons and I am far from a "prude" but I would not have given this as a gift from them as children I think it's clearly a gift you picked out. He didn't go to the liquor store and say let's get this for Dad. Take him to a sports store or the mall and let him pick out something. This way your teaching him that the thought is important. He will grow up to be a thoughtful gift giver to you as well. Just my 2 cents! Lol
And: “I think that the scotch doesn’t reflect the relationship btw father and son. I bet you can find something more appropriate”
I’m not offended by anything negative. Just wanted to know obviously people’s thoughts. It’s for my ex-husband and while we don’t have a good relationship, he is a Scotch fan but I guess it would be a thought from me. Last thing I need him to think is that I put a lot of thought into it lol.

Get him the scotch. At least he will get use out of it rather than some useless dust collector

Both of my DC have been coming into the liquor stores with DW and I for years. They fully understand that Mommy and Daddy have alcohol once in a while, and it's OK. Plus, a lot of the bottles are really pretty, and the kids love looking at them!
So for us, I *do* spend time with DC at the liquor store, but I *don't* spend time at a sporting event or sports store with DC. That's just our family, and what works for us doesn't work for others, and vice-versa.

For an ex, that you don't have a great relationship with, I would just play it very safe and get something else. Maybe something your DC can make for him.

Wow some people really need to get a grip.
I can't believe someone wasted an entire paragraph lecturing you about raising a thoughtful child.
I'd love to see what kind of mind-blowingly thoughtful gifts these idiots get for other people. 
FR My DH loves scotch and we have a big sign in our house declaring that fact, so at least for my kids that gift WOULD be right on the nose.

I’d say “he sure did go to the liquor store and pick it out himself, so he is plenty thoughtful.”
But I like to ruffle feathers.
Anyway, the scotch is fine. It’s nice of you to get anything for your ex.

Re: Father's Day gift...
BTW, I talked to DC (16 and 13) about this topic yesterday... 
I told them that it wouldn't be appropriate for them to get me a bottle of Scotch.
Not a fan of Scotch. I told them to get me Tequila, Rum, Vodka, wine....

Personally, I don't think it is appropriate. But I have issues with the way alcohol is regarded and portrayed in the media. But that's me. It is not a gift I would give. For others, do what you want.

It’s up to you and I think this is a big problem with social media these days. Too many people giving their opinions and asking for opinions. We have become too accustomed to giving a rat’s ass what people think...

Re: Father's Day gift...
i am not against giving alcohol from kids. DH loves beer and for the past two occasions, my DS goes to the store with me and picks out bottles for daddy and we give him that as a gift. DH loves it cause he gets to try new beers. DS loves it because he got him something he will actually like.
but for an ex, from your child, i'd probably get something else. something homemade. like a popsicle picture frame with a picture of the two of them in it.

I personally wouldn't do it. DH doesn't drink, but I would not expect a bottle of wine "from my children" for a special occasion.

Re: Father's Day gift...
Those are incredibly rude responses, especially if your post showed that the purchase was already made. When you have nothing nice to say....
I wonder if some of those responses came from people that know your ex and are being critical of you just because you are no longer together?

I'm actually surprised by the disdain for alcohol a lot of adults have. They act as if it's heroin.
They act as if the child would be giving their parent a crack pipe or huge bong for Father's Day.
Or that giving a teacher a bottle of wine is as bad as giving her a dildo or something.
It's odd.
there is a woman in a neighborhood group I am in who at every chance she gets says we should BAN ALCOHOL!
Bring back prohibition.
It's really freaking bizarre.

I didn’t purchase yet because I’m still on the fence but I didn’t post it on my own page. Was on an “open-question club” page so no one knows me IRL.
