For you, the schedule won't be a big problem for a few years.
But when you have toddlers or school-age children, there are some challenges. Working a rotating shift will mean that you will be sleeping or working at unusual times. In order to manage your sleep properly, you'll need a quiet house during the days that you are working nights. You'll have to resist missing sleep to do things with the kids. Your wife will have to make sure that she keeps them quietly occupied. She will also have to maintain self-discipline to prevent her from asking you to do things around the house when you should be sleeping. Have a quiet, dark, cool place to sleep during the day.
When you are working a swing shift, you won't see your children and you won't make it to evening soccer games or school events.
Those long weekends won't usually include both weekend days. You'll work at least one shift on more weekends than not. The weekdays that you get off in return will not seem like such a benefit since your kids will be in school. So, don't think of them as mini-vacations.
When you rotate back to dayshift, you might find yourself nodding off right after dinner for the first few days. Actually, the way to avoid this, as well as many other problems is to always sleep before work. This will be very difficult because it will seem more natural to sleep at night after a swing shift and in the morning after a night shift. That is what most people do, but if you think about it, it is the reverse of what you should do. But most shifts rotate backwards because somebody did a study that showed that circadian rhythms are on a 25 hour clock. Therefore, the normal rotation is swings, nights, days. It assumes that you will always sleep after work and go to bed one hour later each day. The only way that will work is if you sleep after work on dayshift also and continue the pattern on your days off. Nobody does that. If they went days, nights, swings, you could sleep before work, while going to bed and rising one hour earlier each day. You probably wouldn't do that either - especially on your days off.
Wednesdays will probably be the best times to schedule appointments, because you will either be off, or working a backshift. Actually, it could be another day, depending on your actual rotation. No matter what your rotation is, the rotating shift schedule is an abnormal lifestyle that many people handle well and others not at all. Days, evenings, nights, and weekends will be totally different for you than for the rest of society - including your immediate family. You'll have to make it clear that the clock and calendar work differently in your household than from all others. And you will have to have a firm commitment to that from yourself and your family, or it's going to ruin your health and/or drive you insane.
It is also important to cut way down on your intake of alcohol, caffeine, and all the other stuff that makes life fun. Eat smaller meals at regular intervals. Exercise. Get a hobby. Good luck.
