Whats a tradition you really want to work at in passing down to your children.

For me, it has to be family time around the supper table. I pray that they do the same with their children.

Please don't throw rocks at me but for me it would be for my grown dk's to have a parent stay at home with their children (when they have some...). I had some really bad experiences at daycare as a child and I would feel sooooo much better if they would do this (although I don't expect it).

I'd have to go along with dinner at the table too. At least three times a week we should all sit down as a family.
Another is reading as a family. It doesn't have to be to same book. I'm just talking about turning off the T.V. and reading with no noise.
Alex and I enjoy crafting together so I hope she does that with her child. Boy, now that I think of it there are so many things I'd like her to do, camping, Cooking (I really like it when we are all involved with cooking dinner), and walks.

Family time is something I hope my kids will continue when they have families of their own. Be it a family picnic at the park, reading a book together or playing a game. Having supper together as much as possible and everyone getting to share about their day is another tradition I hope my kids continue with.

I'm with you on the sitting down to dinner together. So many of my kids friends, coaches etc. look at us like were nuts when they find out we really do this. Daily. I think it's sad that they don't.

Also want my kids to cook for their families. Making good things to eat and having friends & family around your table is a very heart & soul warming thing to do.

I won't argue with you on the one parent at home with the kids Lisa.
I don't think it's an old fashioned,I have no identity kind of thing. I think it's a comforting caring thing that means bunches. Glad my hubby & decided we would do what ever it took to make sure our kids didn't come home to an empty house.

Some would call these things Old Fashioned and not realistic in todays society.I say it's just what we all need.
Glad to see more people returning to the comfort of tradition and family. Timeless treasures.

I think mine would be reading to my children. I hope that they will read to their children too. :)
