Co-Parenting Under One Roof: Heather’s Story

Breaking up is hard enough, but what happens when you and your ex decide to keep living under the same roof for the sake of your children? In this episode, we chat with Heather, a single mum who navigated 3.5 years of co-parenting while sharing a home with her ex-husband.

Heather opens up about why they made this choice, the challenges they faced, and the surprising benefits of keeping their family under one roof post-separation. She shares insights on communication, emotional regulation, and setting boundaries—plus what it was really like when they finally moved into separate homes.

We also dive into:

💡 How their children adapted to the arrangement

💡 The emotional highs and lows of co-parenting under one roof 💡 Practical tips for making it work (including shared calendars and house rules!) 💡 The transition to a ‘nesting’ custody arrangement and the unexpected challenges it brought

Whether you’re considering a similar setup or just curious about alternative co-parenting approaches, this episode is packed with real-life wisdom, honesty, and reassurance.
