Nesting: An Unconventional Approach to Co-Parenting with Guests Kathleen Brigham and Chris Dugan
Have you ever wondered how some couples manage to maintain a harmonious relationship for the sake of their children, even after their own bond has broken down? What if there was a way to prioritize the needs of children in such situations without compromising the personal space and happiness of each parent? This episode opens doors to an intriguing discussion with our guests Chris and Kathleen as they spill the beans on their unusual yet effective cohabitation solution, known as 'nesting.'
The episode is a fascinating journey into the practical side of 'nesting,' a legal term in divorce that Chris and Kathleen have adapted to suit their unique family dynamics. They share insights into their four-year marriage, one of which they've spent living together and the rest commuting between homes, all to ensure their children's comfort and stability. This episode isn't just a walkthrough of their journey, but an insightful exploration of the emotional and psychological effects of such an arrangement on both parents and kids. We bring light to some essential aspects of co-parenting - setting boundaries, creating a supportive environment, and dealing with the power dynamics that emerge due to disparate times spent with the children.
We wrap up the conversation touching upon a topic that often goes overlooked - explaining the concept of co-parenting to potential romantic partners. Chris and Kathleen's flexible approach and commitment to setting boundaries have been the bedrock of their successful 'nesting' model, but they admit that it's not always a cakewalk for potential partners to comprehend this. Whether you're interested in co-parenting, navigating a divorce, or simply intrigued by alternative parenting models, this episode promises to leave you with a fresh perspective on family dynamics and co-parenting. So tune in and get ready for an eye-opening discussion it's truly a mine of wisdom for anyone navigating the choppy waters of co-parenting and beyond.
