We did a shared plan where we left a lot of room for adjustments. It helped when the kids got into extracurriculars last minute. One thing I wish we’d done differently was communicate more about changes before they happened. Just a quick chat really helps!

Flexibility is key! When we made our plan, we set a basic schedule but left room for adjustments based on school events or last-minute changes. One thing I learned is to really communicate about who’s picking up or dropping off – misunderstandings can mess things up fast! Also, using a shared calendar app helped us keep track of everything.
