Free co-parent calendar?

I know this should be easy to do but I can't get my head around it.
We are trying to do 48 hours each as DS still quite little, DD needs to stay at her dad's Monday night and Tuesday night for practical reasons and I don't want a schedule were weekends always fall on the same parent.
I just need something visual that will help me plan the weeks.
If you know of any free websites or apps can you please let me know?
Thanks!

You could just use a google calendar but to be honest a spreadsheet might be better.

I have tried a normal calendar, maybe I am a bit thick but I can't work it

Superram is right, you can use Google calendar. If I remember correctly you set up the calendar within your email (I presume you need a Gmail account but I already had one) then you send an invite to the other person. You can then name it whatever you want and set a colour to it so you can separate whether something is in the joint calendar or your individual calendar.

We have a "family" calendar and it's so much easier to be able to save things in or check them straight away so we know if the other has something on on that date or not. It's very easy to use but I do remember it being a pain to set up initially, I think I used a Google guide in the end.

I would assume most email providers have access to something similar (outlook definitely do as I use that for work - that can just be a case of sharing your individual calendars but then you have nowhere to save private events that you might not want the other seeing).

Interested in this thread?
