Father Defends Buying 16-Year-Old a Luxury Car and Refuses to Spend on Ex-Wife's Kids
The 47-year-old father says he's 'not interested in the whole blended family thing' despite criticism from his ex-wife over a pricey birthday gift NEED TO KNOW A dad's birthday gift for his 16-year-old son sparks a heated disagreement His ex-wife raises concerns about fairness and safety The father insists his financial responsibility is limited to one child A man seeks support from the Reddit community following backlash from his ex-wife over buying their 16-year-old son a luxury car. The father, 47, says he and his ex, 'Anna,' 44, have an 'okay relationship' but that their lives and values have always been different. 'We actually have an okay relationship but things just didn't work out because I put my career first and she's more of a 'follow your heart' kind of person,' he explains, adding that he sees her as financially irresponsible. The two divorced when she was pregnant with their son, and Anna later had two more children — a now 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl. According to the father, Anna 'always complains that I have money to spend on our son but I never spend anything on his siblings.' He notes that Anna's husband, who is the father of her other children, sometimes buys gifts for his son, but the situation is not mutual. 'While that's nice of him I'm not interested in the whole blended family thing, I have one child and that's it,' he says. The dad shares that he doesn't buy Anna's other children birthday or Christmas gifts, nor does he take them on vacations. He says the tension often flares up when he takes his son out of school to travel. 'She thinks it's unfair to his siblings and I'm making him fall behind but that's honestly not the reason — she's just in denial,' he writes. The latest argument happened when their son turned 16. 'I got him his dream car which was a 'luxury' car,' the father says, though he downplays the label. 'The way I see it any car is a luxury since any new model car can be expensive so I don't think it makes him that spoiled,' he explains. He insists that buying the car is well within his means and believes, 'since I'm not [breaking the bank] and he's my only son he should have whatever he likes.' Anna, however, was not impressed with the gift. He says she accused him of getting their son a vehicle 'he could 'kill himself' with' and was upset because 'with the money I could have gotten all three kids cars or at least money for ones in the future.' The father says this suggestion made him angry. 'First of all her kids aren't old enough to drive… and when they do get old enough why would I be the one to buy them a car?' he writes.

The argument escalated, and he admits his own behavior may have crossed a line. 'I might be the a-- because I did call her THAT word, in front of our son and I told her I didn't care about her kids,' he recalls. He says Anna responded by calling him 'heartless,' but he defends his stance. 'That's just how I really feel, I don't want to be anything to them,' he insists. The fallout has left the new car sitting with him for now. 'Right now I have the car because she won't let him keep it at her house which just feels petty,' he says. In the Reddit thread, one commenter sides with the father, telling him, 'Anna needs to understand that her kids are nothing to you, whereas your son is her husband's stepson. That is not the same at all.' The commenter adds that as long as he is not encouraging his son to mistreat his half-siblings, 'everything is good.' The father agrees with this assessment. 'Exactly, none of them are the type to get into fights with each other and they all seem to get along,' he says. 'I'd say everything's good.' Now, the dad is left questioning whether he crossed a line by making his feelings about Anna's children so clear. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

NASCAR considering moving All-Star Race to Dover: Sources
As NASCAR works to finalize its 2026 Cup Series schedule, a last-minute wrinkle has emerged: the increasing possibility of moving the All-Star Race to Dover Motor Speedway in Delaware, sources familiar with the discussions but not authorized to speak freely have told The Athletic. Dover hosting the All-Star Race would then clear a spot for North Wilkesboro Speedway to land a Cup points race, something the venerable North Carolina short track — which has held the non-points All-Star since 2023 — has not done since 1996. Advertisement No decision is final on the location of the All-Star Race, but such a move is under serious consideration. NASCAR is targeting next week to release the full 2026 Cup schedule. Speedway Motorsports owns Dover and North Wilkesboro, making a swap of the All-Star Race between the tracks fairly straightforward. The All-Star Race is traditionally held in May, a week before Memorial Day Weekend, and that is expected again next year, whether the race is held at Dover or North Wilkesboro. Whichever track is selected to host a points race would then be slotted somewhere in the summer, according to sources. The Athletic previously reported North Wilkesboro was expected to host the All-Star Race again, and that was the intention up until this last-minute change in direction. The annual non-points All-Star Race has bounced around to various tracks in recent years, shifting in 2020 from its longtime home at Charlotte Motor Speedway to Bristol Motor Speedway, then to Texas Motor Speedway for two years (2021-2022) before landing at North Wilkesboro. Charlotte, Bristol and Texas are all owned by Speedway Motorsports. Dover is a one-mile concrete surface track that has hosted NASCAR premier series races since 1969. Speedway Motorsports purchased the facility in 2021 for $131.5 million. The return of North Wilkesboro to the points side of the Cup schedule represents a remarkable transformation for a track that, not too long ago, was crumbling to the ground. The beloved short track, which opened in 1947, was a mainstay on the Cup calendar before losing both its points race following the 1996 season, largely due to facilities deemed insufficient at a time when NASCAR was experiencing rapid growth and seeing modern tracks added to the schedule. As part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act passed to stimulate the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper allocated $40 million for infrastructural improvements at three racetracks in North Carolina, one of which was North Wilkesboro. Advertisement Speedway Motorsports president and CEO Marcus Smith then set about modernizing North Wilkesboro, with the intent of NASCAR possibly returning one day. That moment occurred in 2023, and ever since, there has been a push for the track to again host a points race. That moment may now come as soon as 2026. Spot the pattern.
