Separated and divorced couples know the challenges of joint custody and although the thought of halving the time you spend with your kids may be daunting, it can be bearable thanks to good structure.

I had trouble coming to terms with being a part-time mom, but I got through it and found other things to do with my time, despite missing my babies. Here are my 10 tips for coping with this ordeal.

I Don’t Want To Breastfeed

When we’re pregnant or even way before being with child, we always seem to ask ourselves questions about how we are going to feed our baby.
