[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

It's not inconsistent. Ex. Dc with Dad Mon/Tues, Dc with Mom Wed/Thu, rotate Fri Sat Sun. [/quote]

[b]Right, so Fri Sat Sun are inconsistent[/b]. Some kids or families find this hard, others don't.

OP, ask yourself if you would like to live on this schedule yourself. Would you find it burdensome, even if someone else packed your suitcase for you?[/quote]

No, they are not inconsistent. One with Dad, one with Mom, repeat. And no suitcase needed-you live with your mother and your father and have needed items.

OP's not asking for your permission to divorce.[/quote]

OP"s asking what's best for a young child, and I'm saying a 14-day repeat can be hard for a kid to remember.

The "no packing needed" is a fantasy. There are always items to bring and the more variation in days of the week, the harder it is to remember. And even if you pack for the kid, it's still disruptive and time consuming. Nobody would love this way voluntarily, right? Why is that? Oh I know, because it's a pain and sucks.[/quote]

Why didn't your parents have what you needed at their respective houses? You lived with them both. There's no need to 'pack'.[/quote]
