50/50 custody is often seen as the “fairest” solution.
But fair for parents doesn’t always mean it feels best for kids.
Some families make it work beautifully.
For others, the back-and-forth can be harder than people expected.
And most parents are just doing their best to figure it out as they go.
So I’m really curious…
Parents — in your experience, is 50/50 custody working for your kids?

We have all been there: You find a broken vase or an unfinished chore, and the 'I don't know' reflex kicks in. 🙄 For children in the 6-12 age range, the fear of trouble often outweighs the urge to be honest.

It doesn’t feel important in the moment.
It’s just another night.
Another “watch this.”
Another time you almost say “not right now.”
Nothing about it feels like a memory while you’re in it.
But this is what they’ll keep.
Not the big plans.
Not the perfectly planned days.
Just the feeling of what it was like
to be around you in the ordinary.
And one day, that ordinary
is what they’ll miss the most.

You don’t notice it while you’re in it.
The rushed mornings.
The “watch this!” moments.
The times you’re half-listening while finishing something else.
It all feels small. Temporary. Replaceable.
But it’s not.
This is the version of home they’ll carry with them—
into friendships, into relationships, into the way they see themselves.
Not the perfect moments.
Just the consistent ones.
And the wild part is…
you don’t get a redo on what this felt like for them.
So maybe it’s not about doing more.
Maybe it’s about noticing what’s already happening…
before it becomes something you miss.

Are you tired of the 'chore wars' with your 8-year-old? It might be time to look at it through a different lens! 🧼 Long-term research has found that kids who start chores between ages 6 and 12 are more likely to become successful, empathetic, and independent adults. By giving them responsibilities, you are teaching them that they are an essential part of a team, not just a guest in a hotel. What is one chore your child actually enjoys (or at least tolerates)? Let's swap ideas below! 👇
