The weekend break really is based on religious principles saying that Sunday should be a day of rest. Not all people subscribe to the religions that say so.
I have worked many a weekend and it has not resulted in a breakdown of family life. Let's face it, family life on a weekend usually involves doing something that is impossible without people working during the weekend. You talk about going to the beach but that involves having people working during the weekend to allow you to do so. No public transport as the employees are also enjoying their couple of days off. No petrol for your car as the garages are closed. No roadside assistance if your car breaks down. No hotels as they are closed for the weekend.
