Lacking in traditions

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?

Honestly, this is an interesting question. I’m glad I was able to read it before crawling into bed around 1:00AM so I could try to sleep on it. Unfortunately, that didn’t help.

I don’t know that my family has any traditions that we picked up from my parents and kept doing. We might have a traditional family recipe (a version of töltött káposzta that we learned from one of my grandparents) but that’s not something we limit ourselves to having just once per year at holidays. We eat it whenever we feel like making it.

Aside from that, I really don’t think my parents specifically had traditions that they tried to pass down to my siblings and I.

One thought on “Lacking in traditions

  1. It’s interesting how family traditions can vary so much. Even if there aren’t specific customs or rituals that you follow, it sounds like you’ve created your own meaningful practices, like enjoying your family’s special recipe. Traditions don’t always have to be formal or fixed—they can be flexible and adapt over time. The important part is that they hold personal significance and help keep family connections alive, whether they’re celebrated regularly or just whenever you feel like it. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
