I’ve always thought the term sounded like it meant equal parenting time, but usually it means the kids live with mum and spend every other weekend with dad.

It just occurred to me that this is one of those terms that is used to describe something actually different. Similar to how domestic abuse, now often called domestic violence, both of which are taken as irrefutable fact and where both have such loose definitions that any man can be accused based on imagination.

Anyway, it’s just a thought I had that when the courts and feminists say there’s a high number of ‘shared parenting’ it actually likely means dad fought through the courts and got the minimum the law would allow. (His time will become even less in England due to the repeal of presumption of parental involvement, but that’s a different story.)
