I don't know what to think about this
I was sick last night and went to bed pretty early and Connor did as well.
Apparently at some point last night the guy I have been seeing came over and (with David's help) brought in and set up a big Thomas and Friends Train Table with tracks, trains, accessories, etc. for Connor.
I know this was meant as a nice gesture, but something just rubs me wrong. What do you think?
It's about 3' x 2' x 1'. Connor loves trains and will love this toy, but it's too big to really go in his bedroom and that's a pretty foffing expensive toy to give someone's kid without talking to them about it first right?

Wow, that is a huge gift to get a kid for anything, much less a random gift from a non-parent. I would be rubbed the wrong way.
I am sure he was trying to be sweet (from our discussions he is a nice guy), but I would have a talk with him. A gift that big should've been saved for a birthday or another big event and you should've been involved.
hmm, how long have been dating him?
yeah, that *** isn't cheap, but he obviously knows that and bought it anyway. Would you really make him take it back? I'd thank him and let him know that it was very generous, but in the future you'd like him to run it by you before buying something so big and expensive.
he came over while you were sleeping and did this? Are you guys at the point where that's okay or is it just the money spent that's bothering you?
Although, i don't think it's that interchangeable. If you arent' comfortable with him spending a lot of money on your kid, you probably aren't into him wandering in while you're sleeping?
Yeah, both are an issue. It weirds me out that he was here while I was sleeping and didn't wake me up / talk to me even though my brother was here and my brother was here and talked to him.
I'm not saying he needs to take it back, because obviously Connor has already seen it and loves it, but I probably would have nixed the idea in advance.
David is my brother, who lives here with me.
Nope, his birthday is in like a month.
However, I did talk to David and he said that Steve got it (secondhand obviously) as a thank you for fixing someone's boat, so at least he didn't go spend a truckload of money on it and that he just wanted it to be a surprise.
Sounds like he was trying to do something sweet but didn't quite think it all the way through.

I concur.
The fact that he got it as a thank you and that David was there make me feel a WHOLE lot better about it. But still, he should have run it by you first.
The nerve!

No kidding, although I have known someone who did live with her new husband, a (former?) lover, and ex husband all at the same time. Lanieface.

I agree with this completely.
I have had several single mom friends have to set major boundaries while dating.
