[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this could work well for a while. The only issue I see here is that RTO parent doesn’t get a full weekend day. So you may want to have WFH parent do Thursday and Friday nights instead. Then RTO parent gets all of Sunday.

This is helpful thank you. [/quote]

No problem. We have an unconventional arrangement where one parent has more nights and the other parent has an open door to see kid whenever (and also take extra vacation time). I think it’s worked very well. It does require that you have a fairly calm day to day relationship with your ex because you will be seeing them a lot. (My ex is in my house a lot!) Of course you still cannot stand them for whatever good reasons but you have to be able to have a legitimately tension-free atmosphere when you’re in the same room from time to time. And living close together is obviously important. We are walking distance apart.

With three kids I think this flexibility could be even more positive- eg one parent can take a little one somewhere for toddlers while other parent takes the older two swimming. As long as you both are focused on the kids’ best interests and not getting “my time” as a parent. [/quote]
