Question for divorced parents with teens...

My parents divorced about 14 years ago, I was 6 or so. I have 2 younger brothers from the same parents, one is a freshman in college and the other is a junior in high school. My parents have always had split custody, so when I was young we went back and forth a lot.

For the past 2-4 years my brothers have been playing this little game that is driving me crazy because I always get caught up in it. If one gets pissed off at one parent for whatever reason, they decide they don't want to live with or see them anymore so they move in with the other. Both brothers have done this several times with both parents. Just the other day I was talking to my dad and apparently my youngest brother is back living with my mom again and won't speak to my dad, following an 8 month stint of not talking to my mom.

Now granted when I lived at home and got pissed at one parent I wanted to pull the same stunt, but I never ended up doing it. Problems always got resolved one way or another.

Anyway my question is, is this common? I had plenty of friends with divorced parents but split custody was a little more rare so I really don't have anything to compare this to.
