So my w sends me an email that she has no money and no presents for the kids. She feels aweful about it and she doesnt know what to do. She has her computer that she would like to give the kids and then it could be put on the desk and I could have my laptop back. I did tell her this would be okay.

My question is, do i put her name on some presents I bought the children?

I feel that i am having her at the house for christmas as its the best thing for my kids. I dont think it would be good for them to open up presents from Daddy and nothing from Mommy. I dont want her to be singled out. I especially dont want it to look like i am gloating and saying see, i took care of the kids. Your actions show that you dont care.

So I feel like putting her name on some of them would help her feel more a part of the family. It would show her that I still care about her image to my children, and that i still do care about her indirectly of course.

So what do other people think of this course of action?
