I usually spend every weekend for my family. I work for six days in a week and so that is the only time i have for them. We visit my wife's parents, playing with the kids, share some stories for the week, we cook meals for them. We have been consistent in doing that for six months now and it's good to know that it has strenghten the bonds in our family.

I relax, and regain some energy for the week. Weekends also allow me to catch up on some homework. It also allows me to spend a bit more time with my fiance. Catch up on time that we were able to spend together during the week.

Yeah, it helps us keep our minds healthy. And not go crazy and be overworked.

Yeah, we really need to relax at least once a week. Restoring energy for the activities in the coming week. One should always find time to spend with lovedones on weekends.

I usually go to some movie with my friends and some times i go to shopping with my parents.I would also play some outdoor games with my cousin. I dont think about work during weekend and remain tension free. I hope everyone enjoy their weekend. Have fun!

Yes, weekends should be spent in doing the things that we most enjoy. Let's just forget all the troubles from work, relieve all the stress, and enjoy our weekends!

I guess it's just a matter of making arrangements with your spouse to work on weekends. What matters most is that you know your priorities and you are happy with what you are doing.

We also do that. Five days a week, my husband and I are both occupied working in our computers, from monday to saturday. We both work at home and all inside the room with the kids but we just concentrate on our work. We make it a point that on saturdays, we all go out or make an activity which involves the kids, or maybe eat out somewhere we haven't tried before. I can't wait for my two daughters to grow up so we can do more adventurous stuff such as surfing and hiking. On sundays, I do my laundry and room cleaning. My husband and I goes to church during weekdays. Maybe after a year, when we can control the kids more, we can get to bring them on Sunday Church Mass because as of now, we really can't concentrate when we bring them.

It's a good thing that your family is just beside you while you are working. At least you are always right there, both of you, whenever the kids need your immediate attention. You have a lot of good plans for bonding. No doubt, you have a strong and happy family.

That's nice! Spending time together and doing the things that you enjoy with your lovedones builds a strong family.

I am a junior in college and a lot of my classes are getting difficult. I take the weekends to look back over all my notes to see if there is something that I still don't understand so that I can ask my professors during the coming week. If I somehow am caught up I go home to see my family and my beloved dogs. Of course I use every chance I get to sleep in!

I work six-nights per week. I usually only have Sunday off. I usually go to church, then watch a race, a baseball game, or football game. That is usually about it.

Science Is Fun!!! - Be sure to visit your local Museum of Science regularly!
Every-other-weekend my daughter goes on visitation with her biological father and his granny/mistress of a wife (he finally married her a couple of years ago after he couldn't hide her from his family anymore). I take this opportunity to volunteer at my local museum of Science where I have gained a lot of knowledge, friends and earned an annual pass to all of the Smithsonian affiliated musums around the country. For the weekends that I don't have to send my daughter away, we go to the museum and other fun places on Saturdays and church on Sundays.

That is good. You should spend more time with your family. Since I am single, I spend most of my weekends with my friends, just hang out or do some exercises.
