    I think that a good place to start would be in conversation. Instead of asking him whether or not he got your daughter something, I would like to ask if you would consider a different approach. A good way to open up the dialog is say something like,” I hope she likes what her graduation present.” This perhaps may pique his interest and ask what it is and offer an opinion. You can also say something like, “I would like for both of us to get her a graduation present from each of us but I don’t want to get her the same thing. What did/will you get her?” I think that both approaches will work for you.

    I do agree with the approach to say I think it would be nice for our daughter to receive 2 gifts. I’d say I already bought mine, but if you would like some ideas to get her, I would gladly give you a list of ideas our daughter would like. (And in no way would I let him give you halfers for your gift….graduation is such an important milestone…and besides if he goes out to buy her his own gift….it would have more meaning to your daughter that her dad for the first time went out and bought a gift.)

    Thank you, I do feel like I should talk to him.  It feels wrong not to.  I will give him a heads up – not much time left.  I appreciate your feedback, PearceHawk and Macy!
