[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does her ex help out when it's not his day? If the kids have to stay home sick and she can't? If they are signed up for separate camps in the summer, will he drive one even though its not his day? If a kid is sick in the middle of the night, does she have to get both dressed to go out and buy medicine? Or will ex come over to watch them? Or better, go get the medicine? If she had to travel for work will ex keep the kids? If she doesn't have a coparent at that level, she's a single parent in my book. [/quote] This was my thought, too. Sure she gets lots of free time but there is a lot if time when she is completely alone unless her ex is always willing to help whether it is his time with the kids or not. I'm married to an equal partner and I think it would be hard to be divorced even though I'm sure DH would have 50-50 custody. Not hard like a parent going it alone all the time but definitely with some of the same challenges. [/quote]
