Am I the only saddo that did a secret Valentine's card for my teen DS?

I don't want to be mean op, but you've put it on here, so I'll answer.

I think it's an odd thing to do. I only knew people did this after reading mn and I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. Valentine's day is about romantic love. If he doesn't 100% know that it's from you and treats it as a family joke then I think it's mean to string him along. Lots of children never get a card on valentine's day and they somehow survive.

I think that's a really strange thing to do. I've never heard of anyone doing that before.

I give both my children one and always have. They give my mother a Mother’s Day card etc

Perhaps if Valentine’s Day wasn’t such a marketed up load of crap that makes any single unworthy of self love or any gifts from any one else I wouldn’t mind.

But it makes singletons out that they can’t get anything as no one loves them - well I do

Well whoever made up valentine's day succeeded beyond his wildest expectations if every man and his dog (literally) sends a card.

I give one to my children every year with a little chocolate bunny or something. I sign it from mum though so they know it’s me.

Always makes them smile.

Your title is really misleading!

I gave my sons little parcels of an air fix model, Bon bons and love heart sweets, but no card.

I can't get too hung up on valentine's personally.

No one sent me a valentine until I met DW when I was 31.

I know that doesn't follow the usual idea of fighting off admirers from the age of 16.

Of course I hope in due course dd follows a more average path.

In the mean time she at least gets one card from people who love her.
