Do/would you work EVERY weekend?

[Bookaholic73]

I’m considering taking a new job, and it involves working every weekend.
The shifts are 7-6 on Saturdays and Sundays, so not like half days where I get some weekend to do something.

My younger son is just about to do A levels, so not young. My husband works every other weekend.

But I’m thinking about the social side of life that it would affect. We currently meet up with friends and family at the weekend, as they all work Mon-Fri.

I would get Tuesdays and Wednesdays off instead.

Would you work every weekend? Or if you already do, how does it affect your life (both positive and negative)?

For 2 years I worked every weekend.
Originally in the rail industry working 2-10pm and then in care working 7am til 9pm on a Saturday and either 7-2 or 2-9 on a Sunday.
It wasn't ideal but we managed.
The benefits of not working in the week outweighed the cons of working the weekend.

I prefer not to, but I've got no choice it all depends when I'm scheduled. It's not great to work every weekend and all weekend especially 11 hrs per day. No thank you. I tend to book days off a lot of the times a Saturday in advance.
