[quote=Anonymous]How old is older sister? This seems to be working fine. I wouldn't sweat it for the little guy. My only concern here is that as the kids get older and talk more amongst friends, if this remains the explanation and kids discuss it and find out "far away" is 30 minutes they are going to probably say hurtful stuff like "what? i go 30 minutes every night to soccer practice!" or "my grandma lives 30 minutes away and picks me up from school every day!" Kids are observant, callous, and can be mean intentionally and unintentionally. So in time you might want to get them comfortable with statements like "I just live with my dad" or "My mom is in Herndon but I don't live with her. But we're good." This is tween-type stuff, just for future thought. In time, this might be normal for them too. Or it might change "I live with my dad and stepmom" or "I see my mom every other weekend."[/quote]
