Thanks Georgiabelle. I had that initial reaction myself, just wanted to sit with it a bit. The main issue is the trade off between size of the apartment nearby v. further away. In our neighborhood he could probably get a 2BR, which means the girls would be sharing a bedroom, and probably means that D16 would choose not to do see dad as often. Further away, he could get something larger and get them each a bedroom. Safety is not an issue, and they go to private school, so the only issue there is how far away from the schools he moves.

So how would I phrase a reply to him? Just say that it's his decision and he should choose whatever he thinks is best?
