It is so hard, call them everyday. Tell them you love them and just know they will be with you again really soon. My kids are grown but live states away. And now I have a grandchild. I lose my mind every time I visit them and then leave back for home.

Sending you a big hug. I’m not a mom, but my parents got divorced when I was 8. I did Monday Thursday with mom, Tuesday Wednesday with dad and then switched off Friday - Sunday. If it’s possible for you to have them go back and forth more it might make it easier for you. And if you’re worried that’s too hard on your kids I did that schedule for 10 years and it was fine and I never had to go too long without seeing either parent. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Its hard especially when they are small. You are Kelly. Not only a Mom. Start figuring out who you are aside from them. Find your likes and dislikes. Get hobbies. Pour that love into yourself on your kid free days! Also, ask to facetime them here and there. I promise its harder on you than it is them. When they come back, just be there for them, listen to their stories and make the most of the time that you have on your days with them. 🥰

we separated when my son was 3. Drop offs will be difficult for a while but it gets better. Just focus on you for the time you are alone, do things that you like. I came to appreciate my alone time slowly. I was able to recharge my batteries and be more available for my son when he returned. Phone/ video calls help. It will get better I promise.

This is the hardest thing you will ever go through but I always would think how important it is for the girls to have a healthy relationship with both parents. We feel like they need us everyday but you’re actually doing what’s best for them. My kids found it easier to do the 5 days because they could settle and relax he is such a good father and he is giving them things in life moms can’t. Bouncing back and forth every two days stinks for them. Just remember you’re putting your children first and every choice you make is for them. They are being so loved on and learning and growing with dad which is one of the most important things they need in life. Kelly ypu two are coparenting amazing there is no rule book on this. I found listening to the kids and letting them decide sometimes what they wanted to do also helped with the transition if they wanted to stay an extra day with dad I let them if they wanted to come home a day early we let them. We worked together and weren’t so stringent with days and times and everything is going to work out because you both are putting your love for the girls before your own feelings

I was divorced when my son was four years old and had 50-50 custody. It was so hard but then I started thinking about my alone time as the perfect time to prep my son‘s favorite meals or buy him a new toy or do something for myself so that I could be a more relaxed mother on the days that I did have him. I promise you you will get used to it. It sucks. And I’m so sorry, but you will be OK.

Hey babe, wipe those beautiful tears. 🤍 Maybe ask your ex if you could do breakfast with him and the kids one morning. It could be a nice way to check in on them, spend some quality time together, and continue being a part of their lives. I’m sure it would mean a lot to them as well❤️

Try to focus on using that time to have more quality time when you have them. Prep meals, do self-care & work & rest, so you make the most of every minute you have them. Leave them notes & over time, most men look for excuses to get out of it, that helps too

My heart hurts for u mamas!! It’s SO HARD! My kids are older now but it was really hard in the beginning. Especially the baby. He wasn’t even 2 and my ex never changed a diaper. He was never hands on and I was SO GRATEFUL for my mother-in-law cause she was the one who was really watching them. I never had to go 5 days. I’m so sorry sweetheart. 💔💔💔

It does get easier babe❤️, I’ve had to split time 50/50 with my daughter for 10years now, there are tough times still, but it does get easier. Video calls were a life saver until she got her own phone if that’s an option for you! ask to chat either in the morning to start your days or at night to tell them goodnight. ❤️you got this momma

It never gets easier. All u can do is stay strong for your kids. I went thru this since mine was 3yrs now she's 16yrs. Still breaks my heart that she leaves. Us mom's have to stay strong for our babies. Show them u love them & it's ok. In time will get a lil better
