To think it’s weird to call your kid your valentine?

Getting DP a card in Clinton’s today & they had valentines cards ‘to daddy’... I'm sure there were mummy ones too I didn’t look.

Also seen friends on social media calling there kids their valentine.

I dunno, is it weird? Obviously I love my kids, more than anyone... but isn’t Valentine’s Day a romantic love thing? I don’t remember noticing this before!!

& yes people can do what they want, no I’m not effected by it. Yes I have bigger problems 😂

But as a general observation, AIBU?

My 6 yo made both me and her dad a card each. We got her a card and some chocolates. Taking every opportunity to share the love and have fun.

I wouldn't give my DS a card as I think it's a couples occasion but I did melt a bit when he came out of pre-school clutching a dodgy handmade valentines card for me and wished everyone he met a happy Valentine's Day Smile

I also may have bought him a heart- shaped gingerbread biscuit, I'm ok if you think that's weird tbh.

We call it love day in our house. My DS is 5 and struggling with his confidence so I got him a little felt mouse holding a sign saying "you're awesome" to keep in his pocket at school, with a card telling him how proud I am of him. Honestly, he loved it and has been in the best mood this evening.

So for me, I love Valentine's Day this year Smile

RougeVinEtFromage, that's so lovely!

Well don't your kids make valentines cards for you and dad at school?

Mine do.

My girls got heart shaped eggs for breakfast this morning and little chocolate hearts in nets as a treat.

Nowt weird about that! They were chuffed Grin
