I wish I have this calendar settings option in reminders

I always have to move my recurring reminders to make them start on a Monday because for some reason, they tend to start on a Sunday. In my case, i already have created 2 similar reminders just because i can't get it to run every Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday for 2 weeks, every 8 weeks

So now, 1 reminder will run for 1st week, and the other will run for the 2nd week on specific days. 

I expected that each will have a break for 8 weeks straight after going off on a Sunday. That never happens but instead the 1st reminder will skip Sunday until 8 weeks, and the 2nd reminder will go off on that Sunday instead of Monday the next week. I have been resetting these reminders just so they would start on a Monday and end on a Sunday. Then i realised that in the reminders app, there's no option to set the start of a week on Monday like there is in the calendar app.

So now, I think the workaround for this is to create another pair of exact copies of this reminder specifically for Sundays. So everytime I make edits to 1 reminder, I will also have to do the same on the other 3. That's uhm pretty convenient if I would think at least I don't have to edit 8 reminders (if I would make a copy of the reminder per day in 2 weeks. 

I still wish we can set the 1st day of the week to other days than Sunday. Even better if this option can be applied "per reminder" for the sake of repetition. Or maybe we can plot a 2 week (or more) cycle.
