Co-parenting

[Adnama1234]

Hi I am starting this thread for reassurance more than anything if anyone has had a similar experience. I am separating from my husband and we will be co-parenting our child who is 2.5 years old. I will be living less than 5 min drive away (10 min walking). I am wondering how other children have adjusted when they spend 3 nights a week at one parents and 4 at the other which will be the set up for our child. I have had a maximum two nights away in his life, though they regularly spends separate time with each of us because of woofing situation. Is there anything that would help with transition in terms of things to do or say? Thank you

Woofing?

That’s meant to say working I thought I checked before posting!

Ah, that explains it!

I've not personally experienced separation, so can't really advise.

If you ask MNHQ to move your thread over to the relationships section, you might get some more replies in there

I separated from my ex when my DS was 15 months old, I was very worried at the time but after the experience I have realised how resilient children are, it hasn’t affected him at all and I continued to maintain as much normality as possible eg same school/childcare, bedtime routine - we’ve had the same 2 week rota for 8 years and Ds is a content and happy child xx try not to worry too much
