Living in two homes.
Back and forth between two houses, two beds, two sets of rules. A clear schedule of which home, which day, takes the uncertainty out.

My Two Homes
I have two homes now.
Some days I am at one home, and some days I am at the other.
I have my own things and my own space at both homes.
A schedule shows me which home I am at each day, so I always know.
Going back and forth can feel like a lot. That is okay.
I am loved at both homes. Both homes are mine.

What to expect
Two homes means the most basic question, where will I be tonight, is no longer automatic. A visible schedule of which home on which day restores that certainty. Knowing they're loved and have a place in both matters most.
One tip from a dad who's been there
Keep a calendar your child can see showing which home each day, and try to keep a few of the same comfort items at both. The predictability is the support, more than anything you say.
