Children need traditions
Ingeborg Becker-Textor and Martin Textor
It cannot be disputed that the organization of everyday family life, both in the past and today, is largely in the hands of women and mothers, that traditions are carried on and quasi from them "inherited" become. For example, women are usually still responsible for preparing and organizing family celebrations. Due to the increasing employment of women, there is less and less time to maintain traditions and rituals in the family. So it is not surprising that children’s birthdays are celebrated in fast food or that Christmas is a mere celebration of gifts.
