CTH, I have my girls every second week but I also get them every Tuesday and wife gets them every Thursday. That way we have some connection with them on the week they are with the other. We live a few blocks away from each other so it works out well. The kids didn't have to adjust to a new community or school or anything like that. Wife has the family home and I a two bedroom apartment a few blocks away. As far as R with my girls, it's quite good. Part of it is in that living with their mom is so much more taxing than living with me! But, I've always tried to be respectful and caring towards their life issues. When the youngests first hamster died in her hands I made sure that I took the time to comfort her and say "it must be really hard to watch something you love just die in your hands like that." She shook with tears and I held her. I've always tried to give their feelings respect and time. Never say "Ah, that's too bad" and walk away. I think that is how you will grow a good R with your kids CTH. Btw, we always have dinner together at the dining room table, no TV or taking your plate elsewhere. We are family and we talk even if it's just for a few minutes.
