[quote=Anonymous]My parents were super involved and fun (I was born in 1979).  My mom was an elementary school teacher, which definitely helped with our early years.  We were always doing some sort of fun craft or exploratory thing (my childhood friends still talk about how they loved coming to our house).  My dad coached every team we were on, and one of my parents was always a room helper in school.  We went to lots of museums and the zoo, and generally played outside a ton.   They were also pretty strict, though - virtually no tv, lots of chores/helping around the house, but on the whole it was an awesome childhood.

As a parent, I try to walk the same line.  One thing my husband and I love doing is instilling some traditions - we all watch a movie together on Friday nights, have pizza on Thursdays, etc.  We also do a lot of outdoor stuff together - running, biking, playing soccer in the park.  And now that they're a bit older (7, 5, and 2), we've started playing a lot more card/board games.  [/quote]
