Common Questions
Which schedule is best for young children?
For under-3s, shorter rotations like 2-2-3 work best — less time away from either parent. Alternating weeks suit older children (8+) who can handle longer stretches.
What's the most popular 50/50 schedule?
The 2-2-5-5 is the most common: same weekdays every week (consistency for activities) and alternating weekends. It's predictable and fair.
Can I customise this further?
