[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you ex already get an apartment/buy a house? 15-20 min each way is a lot and adds up. My neighbors bought houses one street over from each other and in the same school district. That's my favorite because they aren't close enough neighbors to be fighting about it, but also very close for the kid to walk between homes. [/quote]

While walking between homes sounds idyllic, it's also not a great thing.  What happens when Parent A wants to have alone, adult time and kids come bursting through the doors? What happens when Kids start preferring one house over another because it's "the nicer house"? What happens when kids get mad at Parent A and just says "well, I am going to Parent B" because they can simply walk over   It leaves the other parent in a bind and at a loss of what to do.

We have found that having some separation is key. We live a 12 minute drive from each other. We also never deviate from our schedule unless there is a need for the kids.  It gives everyone clear boundaries on what to expect and how to operate and it greatly reduces conflict.[/quote]

My ex and I are two blocks apart and nothing like this has ever happened. The kids LOVE it because it keeps their world the same- the playground, the library, playing outside with the neighbor kids. [/quote]
