Weekends are a beautiful thing, especially for people who have no children. I don’t know what I would do without them. They’re your time to spend however you’d like to: catching up on chores (I clean the house like nobody’s business on Sundays), seeing that friend from college you promised to get a drink with, playing video games on your couch all day. Nobody can tell you what to do. The time is yours. That’s why most of us are understandably protective of our weekends. If they start filling up with obligations, then life fills up with obligations, and then we have no time for ourselves.
