[quote=Anonymous]My parents were fun in that they went all out with decorations and parties for the holidays and family events. However, I was expected to act appropriately in adult venues and we did not eat "kid-friendly" food or go to kid friendly places. My mom loves recreational shopping and most of the time, I'd go to a bookstore and read while my mom shopped for fun (when I was school age or older). I had a lot of fun with my family, but even though my dad was a partner in a law firm and my mom was in school administration/leadership, we never traveled or went on vacations, didn't do a lot of kid centered stuff. We did have a swimming pool and we had activities that we did (soccer, swimming, ballet). My parents think my kids have too structured of lives. Mind you, I was in a preprofessional ballet program at age 6 and by the time I was in middle school, did ballet from after school until almost 10 pm every night of the week and Saturday mornings.
