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.'

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.
