Where are you from? Is it culturally expected of you to donate your time off to your employer? My employer gets 36 hours a week as per the contract agreed between us. Incidental favours aside, any structural deviation of those hours comes at a significant cost to my family and my personal welfare (e.g., not getting round to odd jobs around the house, domestic chores, hobbies, leisure, sex, and raising a child). So why are you working in your weekends? If you enjoy working with distractions and it benefits your work, why not figure out a way to work from home on certain days in the week? It is not normal to keep on working beyond the agreed upon hours if you are a salaried employee. You're life is simply too short to throw it away like that.
