    I see the point about the regular day together, but so far this regular day cannot really be used effectively. On Sunday you have the time to go buy shoes for your kid or pick up that medicine from the apothecary - but none of them are open. So you end up doing it on weekdays anyway. My first instinct would actually be that this would make life considerably easier for families with two working parents.

      You cpuld use the day to go to the public pool, take a hike, visit a playground, learn to fish there is literally thousands of.great options to spend time.

      This would make life harder for many.

      This is such a stupid argument.

      Sunday will become like Saturday, and all the reasons you can’t do it on Saturday will become the same reasons you can’t do it on Sunday.

      Families with two working parents GET FAMILY TIME TOGETHER currently. If you open everything up, you just kill family time.
