I've been meeting a lot of European families lately, and it's been so interesting to see how so many of them pick weekend activities for the parents and not the kids! The parents do their thing, and the kids are expected to tag along and entertain themselves.

That's actually kind of how I was raised! But somehow I switched tracks and now everything we do with our free time revolves around the kids. I'd like to change to be more parent-centric at times, but it's hard... mostly because my kids aren't so great at entertaining themselves! Gotta work on that one...
