to think Valentines cards...

[ChrisMooseMickey]

...to Mummy, Daddy, daughter/son/grandchildren, etc, are just a bit weird?

I don't get it.

YANBU. Valentine's day is about lovers after all.

Urgh, these exist? It's amazing what passes one by when one purchases everything online with targeted searching. YANBU.

YABU! My DC send me cards and I send them cards too.

It's just about love, and it's harmless fun.

Yes I agree. BUT I am sending one to the tabby male cat over the road from Sparkling Cat as they adore each other.

No, not weird. But definitely a rip off!

My mum sends my children them... God only knows why!! I don't even send my DH one...

YANBU, it's nauseating

But then the only valentines cards I've ever had have been from my Mum!!

I'm not sure which is worse - that or never having had one!

just because something isn't to your taste, doesn't mean it's 'weird'. valentine's cards are a rip-off anyway but god only knows what you're insinuating with the 'weird' comment.

I've never had a valentines card (nor any sort of gift)

Hence I tell myself the day is a load of bollocks.

Sparkling they actually do cars to and from the cat/dog.

I appreciate that yes it is harmless (I suppose), but it is about courtly love, not love in general geek

I used to send them to my Granddad.

Obviously not the ones covered in pictures of pants and jokes about willies.

But I started sending him one after my Grandma died and it was just a nice way to remind him that I was thinking of him.

Ok, sorry, it's not to my taste. Although I prefer the word nauseating

I started a thread on this last year after MIL bought cards for DH to give to his DD's. He said he didn't want to give them the cards as valentines day is for couples in his eyes. MIL kicked off and told him he's a terrible father etc etc and all of DH's family give each other cards and buy presents. When I asked on here if anyone else thought it was odd giving Valentines cards to your kids a few people said I was suggesting there was something sick/sexual about it! which I wasn't, it's just not to my taste ...

I always send DH a Valentines card that says "from the dog".

We don't have a dog.

Mwah hah hah hah.

nauseating is fine, it's the finding it 'inappropriate' that's i think is an odd way to feel.

Yanbu

My Mum used to get me a present/card when I was little. It would freak me out now, though, especially now I know V-day is based on a roman fertility orgy festival (which sounds much more fun)
