I work one mandatory weekend a month, but get days off during that week. I still manage to spend a few quality hours with my family on that weekend. I usually try to get in 4 hours of weekend overtime, especially during football season. I'm not watching sports with them anyway, so I might as well make some money. I'm perfectly happy this way.
The only way that I would work every weekend is if I worked a very late shift, so that I could spend the day with my family. And I would expect to be well compensated.
