The real reason busy families drift apart isn't time — it's visibility
I've spent a lot of time with dual-income households where both parents are high performers at work but constantly dropping balls at home — missed pickups, double-booked evenings, kids' schedules living in three different heads.
It's never a love problem. It's a visibility problem. Nobody can see the whole picture at once, so everyone defaults to defense: assuming, texting, re-asking. That erodes trust way faster than a busy calendar ever could.
The fix isn't "communicate more." It's giving the family ONE shared source of truth for schedules, so the conversations you do have are about the relationship, not logistics. That's the whole idea behind what we're building at Anchor — a shared family command center instead of five apps and a group chat nobody checks.
Curious how other families handle this — shared calendar, whiteboard, spreadsheet, or just chaos?
