What does Birdnesting really mean?

Alright, so "birdnesting" is a word that we might hear when people talk about divorce or separation. It's a kind of arrangement where the children stay in one home, like a "nest", and the parents take turns living there with them. It's kind of like the kids are staying in the same place while the parents "fly in and out" like birds to take care of them.

So, imagine you have a bird's nest in a tree with the baby birds inside. The mommy bird comes to the nest to feed and take care of the babies, then the daddy bird comes later to do the same. They each take turns and work together to make sure the babies are okay.

In the case of birdnesting in a divorce or separation, it's kind of like the kids are the baby birds and the parents are taking turns coming back to the "nest" to take care of them. This way, the kids can stay in their familiar home, and the parents can still be involved in their lives, even if they don't live together anymore.

And that's pretty much what "birdnesting" means. It's a way for parents to arrange their living situation so that their kids can have a stable and consistent home, even when their parents are living separately. It's a way to make things a little easier for everyone during a difficult time.

I hope that explanation helped you understand what "birdnesting" means! Let me know if you have any more questions.
