'Birdnesting' or 'nesting' is a way of living that enables children to remain in the family home and spend time with each parent there. Each legal guardian stays at the home during their agreed custody time, then elsewhere when they're 'off duty'.

Splitting up from a partner is always hard, especially if children are caught up in the process. And with reams of international research suggesting how unsettling divorce can be for young people, some parents are turning to an innovative solution to try and help ease the process. ‘Birdnesting’ or ‘nesting’ is a way of living that enables children to remain in the family home and spend time with each parent there. Each legal guardian stays at the home during their agreed custody time, then elsewhere when they’re ‘off duty’. The concept gets its name from bird parents, who keep their chicks safe in a nest and alternately fly in and out to care for them. “We wanted to keep stability for the kids, and not just tear up everything all at once,” says 38-year-old Niklas Björling from Stockholm, whose young family nested for eight months after he and his wife separated. “The children could keep their home, school and friends as before,” he explains, plus they’d avoid the stress of shuttling between two properties. Although still a relatively unknown concept globally, nesting seems to be on the rise in Western countries, largely among middle-class families. Divorce lawyers have reported an increase in birdnesting in places including the US, Australia and The Netherlands. A recent UK study by Coop Legal Services suggested that 11% of divorced or separated parents have tried it. In Sweden, where equally shared child custody has been commonplace for decades, some divorced parents have rotated homes as far back as the 1970s. (Official statistics are hard to come by, since there isn’t a tick box for this kind of living on census or residency surveys.) Björling stayed in his mum’s spare room during his child-free time, while his ex rented a room in a shared house. Wealthier nesters may choose to buy individual apartments, invest in a shared second property or convert part of the main household into an off-duty annexe, says Dr Ann Buscho, a California-based therapist who has written a book about nesting. For many, it’s a “transitional or temporary arrangement”, but some of her clients have nested for years. Yet as more families start to embrace the concept, experts are divided on its impact on both children and parents.

What’s behind the birdnesting trend?

Buscho says it’s important to understand the context behind the trend, including the influence of non-traditional celebrity parenting plans on millennial divorcees. Mad Men’s Anne Dudek and Matthew Heller went public about nesting after their divorce in 2016, and actor Gwyneth Paltrow is reported to have stayed frequently at the home she used to share with musician Chris Martin, long after they broke up.

Do narcissists move on after breakup?

They will 'move on' quickly — and tell you about it. Most true narcissists don't need time to heal from a break up as their initial feelings about the relationship were likely insincere or absent.

businessinsider.com - Here's what happens when you break up with a narcissist - Business Insider

Breaking up with a narcissist is likely to be a draining experience.

Either they won't let you go without a fight, or they will discard you without looking back.

Both experiences are extremely hurtful.

Narcissists are highly skilled at making you feel as though you were the most important person in the world, only to tear it all away. It's important to remember that however much it hurts right now, you're better off without the toxic person in your life.

Breakups are always hard, but when you've been in a relationship with someone who uses others and is obsessed with themselves, it can be even harder. On the surface, narcissists can seem charming, engaging and charismatic, which can make them difficult to leave in the first place. Dr Judith Orloff, a clinical psychiatrist at the University of California Los Angeles, wrote in a blog post on Psychology Today that narcissists can make you "fall in love with them so hard that it feels like you're giving up a part of your heart to leave them," because they're very good at becoming the centre of your universe while you're with them.

Here's what to expect if you break up with a narcissist.
