Who does 50/50 with ex? Need reassurance please

[alianna]

So it’s going on 2 years that ex and I are doing 50/50 with our kids. One week at his and one week at mine. I miss them a lot when I don’t have them but I try not to let them see as I don’t want them going to their dad’s upset. Collected them this evening and my youngest age 11 asked how long more we will have to be doing this for cause he hates it and he started to cry for a minute but then said he was fine. I am absolutely heartbroken as it was me who initiated the break up in the first place. Long story in a loveless marriage for almost 20 years. However I am now seriously regretting my decision to leave the marriage if it is still causing one my children to be upset almost 2 years on. I’m just looking to speak to anyone who also does 50/50 how do your kids find it? I’m so worried now about my youngest and don’t know what to do. Thanks

As alluded to earlier in the thread, 50:50
Arrangements need not mean week about.

My son's father and I have a 50:50 arrangement in place - apart from every other weekend and holidays we each see him every day. On school days, we alternate pick ups/drop offs and alternate weekends (coinciding with who collects him on a Friday). It works well for him - sees us both daily - and us.
