[quote=Anonymous]What did your parenting look like before one of you moved out?

We have a 5.5yo, a 4yo, and a 2.5yo. They can’t comprehend any of this, and until things are finalized, for us, it looks like this:

In the very beginning we were sleeping on the couch, alternating, after the kids were asleep and woke before they did.

Gradually he’s spending more nights at his parent’s house (down the road) for now. He stays there 3-5 nights a week, leaving after they are in bed, and either coming before they wake if he’s taking them to school, or “went to work early”. Some nights he is “staying at work late”. Sometimes on Saturday nights he takes them for the night at his parents, and they just think it’s a sleepover for them, but dad is staying.

We do typical “parenting” things together, like evening activities, dinner, bedtime routine, but we are definitely “separating” more, as time passes. Like we alternate taking them to swim lessons, so the other can have a break and the house to themself. We are trying.

I’m just wondering what it eventually looks like, while you are actively divorcing. I feel like I have no idea what this should look like, what it looks like for others. So I’m curious what it looked like for you.
