The Concept of the Weekend Is Dying (nbcnews.com)

We should be in a future of three-day weekends...


My proposal was a 4 day weekend: 3 days the father works, 3 days the mother, 1 family day. No need for babysitters.


Kidding aside. We as a society are not modeling our weeks or days around kids. We outsource parenting to Nannies and babysitters, and then wonder why they turned out the way they did.


Friday should become half a day at the very least.


The word “union” is not used on the page once. Fantastic.

Maybe it’s not a coincidence that the weekend is dying, when unions already have died.
