Valentine's card from daughters

[thisismypassword]

Is it weird to send a cute card from my toddler and baby daughter to their dad? My family didn't do this but I thought it might be nice for my 3 year old to pick out a card and a cuddly toy for him.

Both my girls do there dad a card and bought him a toblerone they see it as a day to tell the people in their life they live them - actually my eldest 11 insisted in making me something, she knows traditionally its for people IN love but still wants to do it

If children just want to tell people they love them, surely the best day for that is every day, not to hijack the one day of the year that was supposedly for romantic love?

To me it's weird and all kinds of wrong but that won't stop people who want their children to be involved anyway so... each to their own but don't ask opinions if a different one to yours will offend.

My dad sends me a card on Valentine's, is that weird? Has for as long as I can remember. All through teens and twenties - and two marriages!! It was so I always got one no matter if I was single or not. Never thought it weird at all. Just got it through post today and I'm 44!! I would not send him one though I don't think.

My children have made valentines day cards for me since preschool. They made them this morning for grandparents and me and their dad.

I wouldnt buy cards for them to give him / me because thats a bit shit imo. Things from children are supposed to be made or chosen by children.

IN our house valentines day is about showing everybody how much you love them. My boys don't get cards but they get a little hamper with sweets, a small cheap toy, kinder egg etc.

My son used to make me Valentines cards when he was smaller. My favourite one was when he was 4. His nursery gave him a card with a vase drawn on with suggestion he draw me a rose. DS didn't like roses, he did however love robots so all other Mums got a card with a hand drawn flower while mine had a mega death robot ( actually the robot from The Incredibles) on it.

I still treasure that card.

It's up to people to do what they like, but I think giving valentines cards to blood relatives is just eww and totally buying into the ridiculous commercialism of Valentine's Day. My own DD came home from school with a hand made valentine for her aunties ferret and reassured me I'll get a card telling me how much she loves me for mother day (more crass commercialism before anyone comments!!)
I sound like a grumpy old cow. Actually I don't just sound like one. . .

We don't do it. For me Valentine's Day is for romantic love not erm family love?

It's harmless though so wouldn't get too worked up about it, do what you wish!
