my daughters mother and I do not get along, but i was told that i should buy her a christmas gift. She is with someone else now, but i am not. I do not want to purchase something and then make it seem like I want to be with her. i could care less if i received anything from her and i feel she thinks the same. if i am supposed to get something, what should i buy? maybe one of those baskets from bath and body works? i am clueless and maybe putting too much thought into this.

You do not need to buy her anything. A previous answerer had the right idea in taking your daughter shopping for her mother if she is too young to do so herself. This gift doesn't have to be anything big, but it will mean a lot more to your daughter than to her mother. Anything you can do to show your daughter that you respect her love for her mother will mean a lot to her. You don't have to get along with her mother, just respect the fact that your daughter loves her mother. Her mother will also understand your care and love for your daughter by getting your daughter a nice gift. Getting the mother a gift will be somewhat confusing for all involved, especially your daughter. So just be kind, you don't have to go out of your way to be nice, but make sure you are not rude or mean or say anything in the presence of your daughter that is negative toward her mother. Otherwise your daughter may build resentment toward you, whether she realizes it or not, and then your relationship with her will suffer.
