The move went well.

[momstheword]

Oh, hello! I'm glad to hear that. Are you all settling in well?

[protective_logic]

IT's a lot of effort to get settled, yanno? But family friends are getting us a washer dryer set and that's pretty interesting.

[momstheword]

Moving for one or two is a hassle enough. With as many as you have, and young 'uns, it must have been much harder. Sounds like you've got support though, that's good.

[protective_logic]

We had trouble enough having someone watch the little ones.

[momstheword]

Oh dear, was it hard to find someone?

[protective_logic]

Complicated more like. The options were one of my younger brothers and his boyfriend that Omega doesn't like, my ex, and someone the kids didn't know.

[momstheword]

That's a tough crowd to choose from. Could you have gone with your younger brother but not his boyfriend?

[protective_logic]

For complicated reasons, no.

[momstheword]

Complications on complications. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Who did you go for in the end?

[protective_logic]

The young lady the little ones didn't know well. But the younger brother and his boyfriend went to join them.

[momstheword]

Is she a family friend of the older siblings then? At least they had an older sibling.

[protective_logic]

She's a friend of Omega's that also knows that particular sibling and his boyfriend, so I guess it worked out.

[protective_logic]

Can you please remind me that falling for unreliable men is stupid and I should not do it?

[momstheword]

Oh, you poor dear. I can certainly try. Do you want to talk about it?

[protective_logic]

Both yes and no. I don't want to come to any terrible revelations.

[momstheword]

It sounds like a very tricky situation. I assume this is not the ex you brought the coat for?

[protective_logic]

Nope. Sort of this... God, in way's he's sort of one of those dashing rogues out of literally any book.

[momstheword]

Well, that's quite the guy. Sounds like this isn't going to be as simple as the fairy tales make love out to be though.

[protective_logic]

I could never have a relationship with him.

[momstheword]

Why is that?

[protective_logic]

I would want to be involved with someone who cared about my family. Who wanted to be a part of that. He doesn't. Very definitively.

[momstheword]

Ah, well it seems that's important to you, and I'm not surprised.

[protective_logic]

I want a family of my own in the future. Kids to help raise. Adopted, of course. Or fostered if I'm set up enough. And he isn't the sort of man for that.

[momstheword]

What's your situation with him like at the moment?
