AITA? My boyfriend and his ex share a son who is 7. With the holidays coming up, I suggested we take pictures for the second time with Santa in matching Pajamas, the child shut me down and said he didn’t want to bc that was already done and it was so boring. I also suggested we bake cookies and he said he hates cookies which we had baked cookies a few months back and he loved it.
He recently expressed to his dad that his mom told him to be as mean to me as possible.
Am I the ahole for wanting to give up on planning fun things for the child and doing fun things whether he is here or not?
