Hi ladies,
Im wanting to hear from those who do a 50/50 or thereabouts shared care with their kids and your ex, particularly from infant age.
does it work for you and your kids? if not, why?
I'm in two minds about whether or not this is best for our 5 month old baby. My ex wants 50/50 and I know they say it's best for babies to be in the one primary home and have regular visits with the other parent, but I'm not coping... she is already in daycare 3 days a week because I am back at work partime, but I'm still not managing with it all (I have 2 other kids to different father).. Only thing is we live 1 hour away from each other now.
It's so hard to know what's the best thing to do... help!
Shared care of baby, is it best?

It depends how you work that shared care. Doing week on week off would not be an option. But splitting the week up so baby goes between you and dad more isn't a problem. If baby goes to daycare anyway why can't baby go to dads more??? Some Babies would be in full-time daycare at that age, i just don't see why they couldn't spend that time at dads instead.
Also there are many % in between. Have a think about both of your work schedules and come up with a compromise that works.
PS there was a very similar question posted not that long ago. Might be worth while going back to look at some of the answers.
