New custody schedule is finally working

Been a rough year and a half since the split but we just switched to a 50/50 week on week off schedule and it's been so much better for everyone. Kids had time to adjust, my ex and I actually can communicate now without being angry all the time, and I get real time with them instead of just weekends. Takes some planning but knowing I have a full week with them makes everything feel less rushed. Anyone else find that the first schedule didn't work and had to switch?
