💬 My ex-husband and I co-parent in our family home with our three children – this is how we made ‘nesting’ work
nine years ago, my ex, Bill, and I made the untraditional choice to have our kids stay in the family home. We’re the ones who move back and forth taking turns parenting them. This type of co-parenting is called nesting or bird-nesting.
Children are resilient, people say all the time in reference to divorce. But anyone who experienced the old-school approach to divorce as a child would probably disagree. Neuroscience and child development research indicate that children are not naturally resilient. Resilience is a trait that develops over time, and develops most fully in a stable, nurturing environment.As I educated myself about divorce and co-parenting, I ran across a mention of nesting.
As the end of that first year approached, we decided that continuing to nest was the right thing to do for our children. They didn’t have any of the stresses of two-household divorce. They had the ease of always living in the same place. No left-behind homework at Dad’s. No missing their dog when they were at Mom’s. Friends could stop by anytime because the kids were always at the same place.Nesting was less stressful for my ex and myself, too.
