How the 2-2-3 works

Week one: Monday and Tuesday at Home A, Wednesday and Thursday at Home B, Friday to Sunday at Home A. Week two swaps the homes: Monday and Tuesday at B, Wednesday and Thursday at A, Friday to Sunday at B. Each home has seven nights in fourteen, and the weekends alternate.

That makes six changeovers every two weeks, more than any other common schedule, and the weekday nights move from week to week, so each parent's evenings differ between the two weeks.

Who it suits

Families with young children who shouldn't go long without either parent, and parents who live close to each other and to school. It needs a lot of coordination: bags, homework and activities move every two or three days. Many families switch to a 2-2-5-5 or alternating weeks as the children get older.

Pros and cons

For it: the children never go more than three nights without either parent; weekends alternate, so each home gets real weekend time; it splits time evenly.

Against it: six changeovers every two weeks, more bags packed and more handovers between parents; weeknights change from one week to the next, which makes activities harder to plan; the homes need to be close to each other and to school.

Questions

Is the 2-2-3 the same as the 3-2-2?

Yes: it's the same rotation counted from the Friday. Set the start day to the first night of a stretch as your plan counts it and the calendar follows.

How do holidays work?

Holidays come first: set each one to alternate by odd and even years, to stay with one home, or to follow the schedule, and the calendar moves those nights. The holiday schedule page explains the usual rotation.

Can I add summer or a trip?

Add the stretches that differ from the regular schedule (summer weeks, a school break, a trip) with their dates and whose they are. They show underlined on the sheet and listed under it, and the nightly totals count them.

What prints?

Print it from the page and it prints exactly as you set it up, names included, on one Letter or A4 page. The PDFs are the example on this page. For a copy for each home and a month-by-month version with room to write, there's the packet.

2027 night by night
