When families struggle to evolve inherited sacred practices

My family observes Sabbath together every week but my parents are very traditional about it while my siblings and I want to honor the spirit but adapt the form and we end up in this weird compromise that doesn't really satisfy anyone. We all value the practice but we're stuck between respecting tradition and making it our own.
