We are a "Generation 1", as Matthew might say.

Our motto is, "work hard, play hard".  Sundays are an absolute STRICT day of rest; we all enjoy our Sundays!  I always worry about the children being resentful of all the hard work involved, but they haven't become so yet.  Our oldest is 14, though, so maybe that will change as he gets older.  I suspect that some of the resentfulness might spring from the mother's attitude.  

We all work hard as a family, but then we all enjoy the efforts as a family, as well.  Recently the boys and their dad baled extra hay, and he told them if we don't need it this winter they could sell it and use the money for something they'd enjoy for use on our place (traps, guns, a 4-wheeler, etc).
