An alternative lifestyle.

I was watching an episode of bringing home baby on TLC.** The episode features a couple bringing home their newborn baby and documents it for the first three days incase you haven't seen it** So today's episode featured a couple, seems to be very much in love bringing home a baby but the couple lives in seperate homes, a mile or so from each other. Each of the parents were certainly adults, mom had a 9ish year old daughter, dad a 17 year old son. Both accomplished and successful adults. I'm not sure what mom did but she was very spiritual, the show featured her doing a Buddist chant each morning, dad was an engineer dealing with waste. Both adults, again loved each other, and were excited bring this child into the world - so it didn't seem as if they were together just because of the child. But I found it difficult, especially when you are inlove, ESPECIALLY just having a child together to live in different homes. I couldn't be the one to have my significant other in another home and I couldn't be the one to have my child in another home. Dad would come to mom's house to help with chores and whatever odds and ends but he would go home-- his home. At the end they were talking about conslidating homes and just living in one with their 3 children. But what do you think - do you think you could do that - inlove and raising your child in 2 homes a mile apart from each other? I'm not talking about Divorced parents with children in split homes - but just you and your significant other living apart from each other but raising a family together. I couldn't do it! Could you?
