I don't know the ages of his kids. According to the child development specialist "Hodges", kids 6-10 are most content with see both parents every week, while 11+ are pretty content without that. A mid-week visit like you have would be a game-changer.
I did the same as R2C. My kids were around 7, 13 and 16 when we separated I think. I talked to a lot of people with various visitation schedules and the ones that were doing week on/ week off seemed to have the fewest issues. Obviously my preference would be 100% visitation, but as far as having to surrender half my time with them the week on/ week off worked quite well. It was easy to coordinate homework and projects. Nearly all school activities were during the week and this schedule alleviated confusion over which parent was supposed to pick up/ drop off/ prep them for activities and such. Was very cut and dried. We did drop-offs on Sunday afternoon which was nice and leisurely. Gave us time to discuss any pending homework or projects. We also agreed to a mid-week visitation and even wrote it into the D decree. Neither of us ended up using it much because as it turned out, we both saw them a lot during our off weeks due to cheer, football, band and color guard. I heard a lot of horror stories about the 3-2-2 setup. Lots of confusion over who had the kids when; homework and computers and phones getting left at the other house by accident because they were rushing to switch; sometimes one or the other parent completely forgetting it was a switch day. It works for some people but at my age I really need simplicity in my life, LOL!
