[quote=Anonymous]My parents were pretty fun. They seemed to genuinely enjoy having kids. My mom especially would do things like  make pancakes shaped like animals and plan elaborate themed birthday and holiday parties before that was a thing. There was a lot of joking and laughter in my house, and lots of good-natured teasing. We had family snowball fights, my dad had funny nicknames for all of us (mom included), etc.

That's not to say they weren't strict. We had sit down dinners (with much laughter, but also table manners!), no disrespect was tolerated, and I wasn't allowed certain clothes, toys, movies. They also did not focus exclusively on their kids - there were plenty of adult dinner parties and trips (they liked having fun on their terms too, not just ours!). In general though, there was a sense of enjoying life, and each other, and not taking anything or anybody too seriously.

It was a great household to grow up in and all 4 of my siblings are raising our kids similarly. [/quote]
