Some careers require a parent to be away from home for long blocks of time, such as those of police, sheriffs, military personnel, or fire fighters. Other people must travel for business, such as airline crews or people who go on location to make movies. These professional factors must be considered when determining a realistic timeshare of the child. Other people need to have flexibility for mental or physical health reasons. There are diseases that, when in an active stage, make it very difficult for a parent to give a child proper care. Some diseases go into remission and enable a parent to be more available during those times. Another point to consider is that of types of time. Daytime and nighttime hours with a child are not equal in quality, nor are weekdays and weekends. During a week, most parents are at work, the child is at school and they only see each other for a short time in the morning and a few hours at night. Many people have longer blocks of time available for a child on a weekend, while other parents, such as people who sell real estate, must work on weekends. One Size Does Not Fit All In order to be realistic about what kind of timeshare to ask for, you must determine how much time (and when) you have available for your child. A young child needs to be with a responsible person 24 hours a day. If the child is not with you, where will the child be? Will the child be in school or daycare? If so, for how long? What provisions for childcare do you have in place?
