50/50 shared care parenting

[Misty9]

If you share care of the kids 50/50 what is your pattern and how do you find it? Newly separated and trying to work it out so it would be really helpful to hear from others experiences - we're currently doing 2255 but the 5 day blocks are quite long to be away from the kids...

Anyone? I know I could post in divorce section but I figured if people have been separated a while they wouldn't be looking in that bit.

Hi

Me and ex have 50/50 of our 9 year old our pattern is

Week one
I have him Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday Sunday he's at his dads Thursday and Friday

Week two
I have him Monday and Thursday and he's at his dat Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday

It works ok I think it was easier when he was younger but it's getting a bit harder now what with remembering things for school, home work dress down days are a nightmare because he will have to bring his school shoes, fleece etc to school to bring home after but he knows what days he's meant to be where..

As he's getting older he is choosing where he wants to be more.. so although it's meant to be 50/50 he's spending more and more time with me but we keep things pretty open and flexible

In the week, DS spends Monday and Thursday with me and Tuesday and Wednesday with his dad.

Weekends are alternate - Friday through to Sunday with me with me one week then with his dad the following.
