Common schedule patterns

Alternating weeks: simple week-on / week-off rotation, often easier to read on a yearly calendar.

2-2-3: frequent transitions, useful when children should not go many days without seeing either parent.

2-2-5-5: two stable weekdays for each parent plus alternating long weekends.

3-4-4-3: fewer exchanges than 2-2-3 while keeping time balanced over two weeks.

What to include

A useful parenting calendar should show school days, weekends, holidays, vacations, exchange days, and any special occasions that override the regular routine.

Printable by design

Use the browser print dialog to save the visible month or year as a PDF. The print layout hides navigation and settings.

Calendar export

The ICS export creates all-day events for the visible schedule so you can import it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook.

Which parenting schedule should you choose?

2-2-3 can be easier for younger children who benefit from frequent contact, but it creates more exchanges.

2-2-5-5 keeps some weekdays stable, which can help with activities, work schedules and childcare.

Alternating weeks is easier to understand and print, but some families add a midweek visit or call so the gap feels shorter.

Every other weekend is useful when one home is the main weekday base and the other parent has scheduled weekends.
