I am sorry that was your experience. Your situation makes the case for fewer transitions and longer stretches. Every other week works for lots of families. I think 2/2 is awful, and cannot believe that so many people do it.

I actually read a post once on DCUM from a woman who had a positive experience with 50-50 (not sure how her parents did it) and amusingly she noted that when she got to college ... and what I expected to read next was that she was relieved to have one place to stay ... [b]she was restless at first because she was so used to moving back and forth.[/b] It can work.

9:39 here.  Yes that was my experience too.  Always restless and uncomfortable staying in one place.  In college I tried having two boyfriends and spending time at both their homes.  They were aware of each other.  It was like I was most comfortable doing that because that was the only "normal" that I knew.  I felt like I was two different people all of the time.  I've settled down now but I am constantly afraid that I will someday do that to my kids and I am kind of obsessed with getting a vacation home  :)  Maybe that is my way of handling my restlessness now that I am a bit more mature.

I will say that at least they loved me and plenty of people have worse childhoods than I did so I don't want to complain.  Just offering a perspective.[/quote]
