1. Your dad doesn't have to go into work over weekends.
The weekend is comprised of both a Saturday and a Sunday
and is usually your free time when you can enjoy personal
activities with friends and family. Some people are in the
unfortunate position that they have to work some weekends
out of every month. The sentence: "Your dad doesn't have to
go into work over weekends." means that he is not required
to go into the workplace over weekends.
However, if you say: "Your dad doesn't have to go in over
THE weekend", it means that he often does work over
weekends, but that he will not be doing so this forthcoming
weekend.
2. Your dad only works from Monday to Friday.

When you are a parent, you have two jobs. You have your regular job where you go every day except your days off, and then you have to be a parent which is another job in itself. It can be hard to balance the two as you may need to work longer hours and when you come home you may have no time to spend with your child.
These two sentences explain clearly that the father doesn't have to work at the weekend. As the child gets older he or she becomes aware of how things work and will wonder where the father goes every day. Maybe she or he might become upset because the father isn't around. The mother can confirm to the child with these informal sentences.
