The Parenting Calendar is your forward view. Instead of trying to remember whose week it is, or texting back and forth to figure out if a weekend works, you see the whole pattern in one place — for your kids and, if it applies, your new partner's kids too.
Where to find it Open Bloom → tap **Calendar** in the main menu.
What you can do
Import your parenting plan Set your repeating pattern — week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, every second weekend, school-term schedules — and Bloom rolls it forward indefinitely. No more counting weeks on a paper calendar.
Import a partner's parenting plan If you're a blended family, import your new partner's plan too. The calendar shows both households side by side so you can see when **everyone** is home, when it's just the two of you, or when one set of kids is around but the other isn't.
Plan ahead Trying to book a holiday, schedule a date night, or work out when you can take on extra shifts? The calendar lets you scan months ahead in seconds.
Mark exceptions Swap a weekend, hand over an extra night, take a holiday block — one-off changes don't overwrite the underlying plan, they sit on top of it.
School holidays and special days Bloom flags school holidays and lets you split them between households however you've agreed — half-and-half, alternating, full weeks, however your plan works.
Why this matters
- Less conflict. Most co-parenting fights start with "I thought you had them that weekend." A shared, agreed forward view kills the ambiguity.
- Better planning. Travel, work, weddings, parties — you stop saying "let me check and get back to you" and start making decisions in the moment.
- Blended-family sanity. Two parenting plans in your head is a recipe for missed handovers. On a screen, side by side, it's just a picture.
How to set it up
1. Open the Calendar. 2. Tap Import parenting plan and pick a template (week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, etc.) or build a custom pattern. 3. Add school holidays and any agreed split. 4. (Optional) Repeat for a partner's plan — Bloom colour-codes each household. 5. Add one-off swaps and exceptions as they come up.
That's it — the rest is just glancing ahead.
