[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do 50-50 and we as parents shuffle Around[/quote]

This is the only way to do it. The parents who make the decision to break up the family should be the ones doing the shuffling around.[/quote]
I think only married people advocate for this. I am married, but if I ever got divorced, no way would I agree to this. The best part of being divorced would be not having to deal with your ex’s stuff and their mess - taking turns in the same house means that there’s still a million reasons to fight, with no clean break. It’s the worst of both worlds; all the hassles of living together with none of the benefits. If you can make this work; you should just  stay married.[/quote]

100 Agree.  Shuffling parents doesn’t work.  I couldn’t think of anything worse for both myself, my ex and my kids.  [/quote]

How about parents each have half a duplex? Kids float between the two sides. [/quote]

Why though? This is dumb unless the exes want to be up in each other's business, including dating partners not to mention the kids seeing their comings and goings.

Kids are resilient. They can handle going to 2 homes. [/quote]

"Kids are resilient" is a phrase that adults use to justify actions that they know are not in the child's best interest. You are calling it dumb, because you are looking at it from the adult's perspective. But adults can also choose to be resilient and be civil with the ex and let the children stay in one home while the parents do the switching until the kids are at least older teenagers and can decide for themselves.[/quote]
