I don't think shared custody works quite like that. You do whatever the hell you like on your week and vice versa. It's shared care with them sharing custody 50/50. Decision making should still be a collaborative thing where each party is in agreement with all aspects of raising the kids regardless of whose house they are sleeping at. Best to sign an agreement stating only the parents may pick up and for emergency contacts have both parents sign to agree they are both comfortable with them but making it clear that is in emergency situations only, not a matter of convenience.
