> Or maybe your family tradition is that Mom doesn't cook?
A good friend of mine was known for things like setting off her fire extinguisher when she turned on her oven -- because it was always so dusty from disuse. That can be a family tradition, too.**setting off the alarm....mebbe we DO have a tradition! LOL!
> Maybe instead of thinking in terms of creating traditions, you could think in terms of Something Special -- maybe one day a month will be a Something Special day for your kids? Maybe go to the park, or the beach, or the local aquarium, or the zoo, or the arcade -- whatever would be a Something Special for your kids. You don't have to say anything to anyone about planning to continue it, just do it. And I'd almost guarantee that your kids will look back and remember, "Mom used to take us out for Something Special, remember?"**Ya I GOTO do this. Stop getting myself overwhelmed.
> Your kids have a lovely mother, Muff. Don't you forget it. I said so, and you know I'm *always* right!**Awww, thanks Racer, you a sweet one :-)
