so... long term thinking here... her kid, in her mind, has to stay with the mother of his children, and she can't have any kids already or her son should have nothing to do with them.... and god forbid he's widowed with kids right? he has to stay single forever?? as obviously his time with his kids being just with them, and no mums house, would mean he would have to be single forever
yeah... thats a functional family.
