[quote=Anonymous]The thing about 2/2/5 is it's inconsistent as to days of the week. Some children do better with a schedule they can more easily understand, or there are logistical reasons to have them always in a certain home on a certain day of the week. OP, you're not thinking about remarriage and stepfamilies yet, but it will likely come up at some point and then there will be pressure to have your kid's schedule work well with stepsiblings' schedules (either to keep them apart or together for whatever reason). And your kid may come to have preferences about their schedule, either for logistical reasons, proximity to school or friends, or dislike of a parent or step-parent. You can make a plan for now, but in the long term you should expect change. It's a real downside of divorce that the kid has to think about and negotiate their very presence in each home, and may sometimes be forbidden from being at what's supposedly their home, but that's the way it goes.[/quote]
