During and after a divorce, kids often end up spending time in two homes. They may get two of everything, but there is a lot more travel involved than before -- and that can be inconvenient and disruptive. In an effort to reduce the upheaval, some parents have turned the typical shared parenting arrangement inside out. Now, instead of the child traveling from one parent's home to the other, the parents are doing the traveling.
It's called "bird nesting," and the idea is to have the children remain in the family home full time, while each parent lives there part time. While bird nesting isn't new, it is getting more attention thanks to a new sitcom called "Splitting Up Together" which features the arrangement.
