Young children don’t like being in different homes on different days of the week, according to Stephen Scott of the Institute of Psychiatry. Whether this means they prefer one week here, one week there, or they just do not like having different homes, full stop, is not clear
And it is not just the children who are directly affected who dislike it
Last week I was walking past the new houses up the hill as a boy of about 7 knocked on one of the doors. No, David isn’t here, said the man who opened it
I could not hear what the boy said, but No, I said he’s not here. He’s with his Mum
Then, No, he’s not here at all this week, he’s at his Mums house
Crestfallen little boy returns to his own house (at least for tonight) two doors down
