Absolutely agree but it would be darn hard to manage with kids. I might be more productive on a Saturday than on a Tuesday, but hard to explain to the kids that you'll miss half the weekend because I wrote better on Saturdays than on Tuesdays.
- the__alchemist 6y agoThis is one of the bigger effects of the general downside that social interactions may become difficult, depending on your circles.

And presumably on Tuesday you would have the energy to do something fun with your kids. Also, huge numbers of people have to work at the weekends. From highly-paid doctors to fast-food employees. Presumably their kids understand.
- docdeek 6y agoI guess the point is that schools aren't going to adapt to a schedule that isn't Monday to Friday (at least where I live). Spending time with the kids on Tuesday is going to be about 8 hours less time than I could spend with them on a Saturday when they are always free. You're right that kids understand but it's far from ideal when their schedules are so firmly fixed M-F with weekends free.
