Sharing custody of child

Any tips for handling shared custody? Sometimes it is brutal to not see my daughter for 3 days at a time. I don't know how some people handle it so well.
Don't get me wrong, having a baby sitter for a few hours here and there to go out with friends is always great, but the long weekends are rough. We are doing a 4 day / 3 day split, but wondering if others have found better splits that are beneficial to both parents and the child.

I have no tips, but this is a perfect forum to ask this question.

Hookers and blow.
Or more rationally pick a
Dedicated exercise regimen.
I've done both and one is healthier than the other.

Remember it's hurting the other parent just as much as it's hurting you. Be on time and communicate.

but its hard.
it all boils down to the degree of bitchiness/insanity of the ex because she, whether or not she realizes it yet, is in complete control of the situation

Or instead of dropping $1000 just use Skype?

Just wait till she gets another new daddy. Then it really hurts. Who left who or was it mutual? If you cause the split its time to start thinking through your actions completely. You can't be upset if you caused the situation.
Just be a grown up about it the best you can. Don't put her in the middle of mom and yours bs. Let her know you always love Her. Don't aske your daughter questions about what mom has been up to. It's not healthy for you or your daughter to move past the split.
As someone else said just because she is at moms you can still contact her various ways. Mom may not like it but you can FaceTime with her as much as you like.

why do you only get her 3 days at a time? I had shared custody and had mine 14/14.

need it placed in custody agreement that you can call daily in a pre-determined window of both parties' choosing.

Imagine how hard it is on the kids. Sorry for all involved.

Have another kid... problem solved.

And one is certainly more fun than the other ...

meaningless, depends on the level of bitchiness/insanity of the ex

I went years without seeing my sons, co-custodial, requirements to allow phone/internet contact, etc., once they no longer had any value(no longer receiving child support payments) to ex they came to me on their own

This is actually the perfect forum. I will get the classic hooker and blow answer for a quick laugh, some real advice from those with experience, and the much needed brutal honest answers to slap me back in place.
Btw, I am the mom, not the dad. I pick her up from school on Monday and have her until Friday when he picks her up from school.

14/14 with my custody
I don't think either of us would like to go that long without seeing her.
No hostility between parents when it comes to her. We have talked about doing a dinner night together during the week, but I don't know if that is more confusing for her/us or not.
