The Traditions of the Fathers

Some years ago, during one of my regular church visits, I visited a family. The husband, after a long hard day of work (he was a mechanic), was relaxing in his lazy boy eating and watching TV. Soon after I entered the home I heard him call to his loving wife 'woman, get me some more water!' in a rather demanding voice. His wife complied. They were a happy couple, faithful to each other, active in the church. They were good people. It was just the way they lived, it was part of their culture.

In the March 2012 Ensign, there is an article by Elder Dallin H. Oaks' titled The Gospel Culture. Speaking of our need to rid ourselves of cultural traditions inconsistent with the gospel Elder Oaks said:

Some husbands...have the false idea that the husband rests while the wife does most of the work at home or that the wife and children are just servants of the husband. This is not pleasing to the Lord because it stands in the way of the kind of family relationships that must prevail in eternity and it inhibits the kind of growth that must occur here on earth of we are to qualify for the blessings of eternity. Study the scriptures and you will see that Adam and Eve prayed together and worked together (see Moses 5:1, 4, 10-12, 16, 27).  That should be our patter for family life--respecting each other and working together in love.

Question: what are some of the traditions of our fathers (or mothers) that we need to change for the sake of our families?
