This is probably a stupid question and I probably already know the answer to it....but, We are attending my nephews (on his side) birthday party Sunday. The usual way things work: I buy a gift and sign all four of our names to the card. Now that we are separated it is okay to leave his name off, right? He is not living here, he did not participate in the buying process, it is from me and the kids...

One more...I am in a "Last Resort" situation. I have a few things planned for the upcoming weekend. Sunday night I have a shower to attend and next Friday we have girls night out to have dinner and see New Moon. Do I ask him if he would like to spend that time with the kids or do I find alternate arrangements?
