It’s so weird when people get weird about “y” being a vowel or not when any time it makes the “e” or “I”sound it is a vowel. (Any, try, anything ending in -y or -ly)
A vowel isn’t a vowel because it is aeiou, it is because it makes a vowel sound.
The end of these words are all pronounced the same, despite having different vowels placed before the R. The vowels are essentially silent, and R is doing all the heavy lifting.
And sometimes "Y".

Change my mind: R is a vowel.

Y is a vowel on weekends.
"Weekends" does not have a Y in it.
Y is a vowel every day.
Pray tell, what sound does the "y" make?
Yeah, R is really the vowel here, not Y.
not quite ^^ y is always the vowel here, but depending on your accent the R is either silent or coloring the y-vowel.
