George Pritchard

Founder, Two Front Doors

George Pritchard founded Two Front Doors after eight years of co-parenting. He has two teenage sons and two stepchildren, so his household runs on two separate arrangements. He built the app because the co-parenting apps he tried were either awkward to use or priced too high for something two parents open every week. He writes guides here about the schedules and handovers his own family deals with week to week.
