A 3 year old can just a swelloff wiht either parent if they are good providers, and good parents.
But no 3 year should be shuffled every week.
It would be much better for joint custody with a little more time in between swaps.
There is rarely any real reason to think the mother would make the best parent or the mother should be the one with custody. Fathers like myself are just as qualified to raise children.

I think a 3-year-old needs a stable home. People worry so much about parents' rights in raising their kids and seeing them. It's important to worry more about what is best for the child. Now I'm not going to say it's necessarily better to be with the mother- maybe the father would be better. It depends on where they're at in life and who would be better raising the child. I'd lean on the side of the mother, though, unless she doesn't have her life together on some level. The father should still be involved in the child's life but let the child have one home.

It is what ever works best as long as their is a routine and it happens all the time then any child no matter what age will adjust to it I don't know about half a week but maybe a month with each would be better but the child needs to go to the same day care/school and have the same routines with both parents.

Yes half and half. Or better yet, work out the differences with the father and remarry, that way you don't need to split the time. JK. Kids need both mothers and fathers in their life. Preferably together, but if not, equal is better then one sided.

yes i think they should spend time with both parents. That is good for them. Then they know each parent loves them and wants to spend time with them. There wont be any of this why is mommy or daddy not come see me why dont he she love me. Now bc they get to see each parents half the week they Know that their parents love them and want to spend time with them. No confussion about how much the other one loves them bc the know bc the child gets to see each parent alot.

Definitely half and half. I did it all my child hood life and it was nice. I liked feeling like I have two homes and I really liked being around both my parents all the time

tell the child he is special because he/she has two homes..

How wonderful life would be if we would continue to love the ones who bear our children as much as we did when we conceived them.
Think about what's best for the child and make the sacrifices necessary. Stability should be a guiding factor.

Definitely half and half if possible because the child should be exposed to his/her parents. A parent isn't like a friend or play date.

best for the child to see both equally when possible.
