[quote=Anonymous]I love this thread! It's funny, I'm very close with my parents, but I don't remember having a "thing" with either one of them.  My dad did make it a point to do 1-1 trips with his kids (I'm one of three kids), but this wasn't a frequent thing at all.  Life was so busy between all our commitments and school.  I do remember family traditions, like Friday nights at the local pizza place, or all watching Star Trek TNG together on Saturday nights (yes, we were nerds!)

With my own three children, I do try to make it a point to establish traditions with each individually, and as a family.  My 12 year old daughter and I try to play pickleball together for an hour every week, and then have dinner after.  My 9 year old son and I like to go to the diner early one day a week for breakfast or for an early run before school (he's my only early riser).  My 6 year old and I bond over books and card games.  As a family, we always devote one weekend night to family movie night with lots of snacks (I can see that this is changing, though - lots of arguing over movie selection, particularly by my eldest!)[/quote]
