[quote=Anonymous]There is no good answer. It’s horrible to go back and forth, to not have regular exposure to one or another parent (in most situations). But it’s also horrible for kids to live in a house where one parent is being abused. And I imagine it would be very stressful to live in a house where parents were sucking it up to nest with each other. If the parents could manage to coexist, they probably wouldn’t be getting divorced.

For what it’s worth, we do 2-2-3. So kids know they are always with parent 1 on Monday, Tuesday, alway with parent 2 on Wednesday, Thursday, and just have the weekends to flip.

Most activities are during the week, and a lot of kids miss weekend events all the time for travel or other family commitments, so my kids don’t stand out when a parent refuses to take them to an activity. Of course this wouldn’t work with all activities, but it works with most.

Is it ideal for anyone? No. But divorce isn’t ideal. Neither is staying in a divorce-worthy marriage.[/quote]
