Holidays can be stressful with so many things to do … gifts to be purchased, parties to plan, and holiday themed events …things can get pretty busy for most families. It can be even more stressful if parents are divorced, and trying to figure out ways to share the children for the holidays.
The National Parents Organization states that, with nearly half of marriages ending in divorce, there has been a reform effort by the family court system to ensure parental equality and shared parenting. this would leave neither parent in the position to be “pigeonholed” as the primary care giver, or bread winner, following divorce or separation.
Rather, they would share the responsibility of raising their children, following a divorce or separation.
