My parents used to wake us up in the morning before school when we were younger, but I can't remember breakfast being sit-down past the point when I was in HS. We usually ate breakfast and when we were younger, our parents would make it for us, but it wasn't... elaborate. Mostly it was toast or a bagel or something, not eggs or pancakes.
The weird eating thing we did, however, was eating in front of the teevee. Until I was in 8th grade, my dad and mom both had shift work (my dad was a firefighter and my mom worked at a hospital), so there was usually only one parent home at a time and unless they were both home, we pretty much ate wherever we wanted. When I was about 13, my dad finally was promoted to officer and had a regular 9-5 schedule. My mom's schedule also changed, and suddenly they were both home for dinner every night. So, right around the time my friends STOPPED having sit-down family dinners, my family started XD
