I might take dd to the cinema to see and then to Nando’s and to a bakery for a cupcake. Will need to find a flower shop to buy her one red rose

I hate that it’s on a Saturday, I really don’t wanna see young teens out on dates while I’m chronically single 😂

will you do anything? No judgement if not, it’s just me and dd so I like to do this stuff

plus, when someone’s son decides to take her out when she’s older, she won’t be thrilled by literally the bare minimum!!

edit to see either Gaby’s dolls house, zootropolis 2 or The Goat (kids cartoon) - not sure which 🤷‍♀️

Nothing here. I put valentine's celebrations in the same camp as Christmas eve boxes, personally.

Sounds quite OTT to me. I won't do anything. But each to their own 😀

Do people do things for their DC for Valentines Day?

It's news to me!

Eh? Why would you do something for your kids for Valentine's day?

Is this a new thing? Valentine’s Day used to be for couples.
