To ask what you’re going to do for your child(ren) for Valentine’s Day?

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

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. Why would I? As an aside me and DH don't do anything either but I am at least in a romantic relationship with him. Is this some new money spinner? I can just imagine their faces if I hot them a card😆 they would be seriously weirded out ( and rightly so).

Oh god the fun sponges are out in force. Sounds a lovely day OP. I won’t be doing anything on Valentine’s Day because personally I think it’s a bit naff and my son is going skiing with school for the week! Enjoy your lovely harmless day!

We're going out for a family meal to detract from the fact that DP and I won't be 'doing' Valentine's Day as a couple.

We don't have anyone to care for DD whilst we celebrate so we celebrate with DD, she gets a card, some flowers and some chocolates and we get a takeaway in the evening. She loves it.

What when was this a child thing?!

For the kids? I am doing absolutely nothing for them at Valentines.

😂 why not? Has he pissed you off?

We do Famentines-family valentines. We’ll do some games and get a take out-just an excuse for family time really x

Totally agree and so does my husband!

Nothing.
I saw a card in my local supermarket that said " To my Mummy on Valentine's Day".
Who is going to send that? Oedipus?

My son is one and I’ve got him a card and teddy

Thank you 🥰

I think it’s lovely, just to celebrate love!

i’m actually surprised by the poll tbh 😂

Weirdest thread of the month right away...

This made me laugh 😂

Or every month when people complain about the existence of dogs! 🙄🙄🙄

I’m 36 now and my parents always did valentines baking with us and got us some sweets/chocolate on Valentine’s Day. So I guess it’s been a “child thing” for as long as anyone has wanted it to be.

🤣

I used to bring my boys a heart shaped cookie when I got in from work.

Aw 💖

🥰

Wtf is wrong with people on this thread, trying to make it sound creepy? Ignore them OP, I think it's a nice idea.

When I was about 10 my mum bought me some silver hoop earrings and gave them to me on valentines morning and I thought it was the most grown up and special thing in the world - and now in my 30s I still wear them.

Any excuse to make your kids feel loved and important! My little girl is only tiny still, but I plan to get her a little gift (maybe a book) and we'll likely all go out for lunch and she can chuck a few bits of pasta about for me to scoop off the floor 😅

I did try once but all my children went eugh and various variations on mum you're so embarrassing, so that was the end of that. Whole tribe born cynical.

Would never do anything for my kids on valentines day as its about romance not kids. However after being married 20+ years we don't acknowledge it anyway. Always thought its a pointless day, I love him and tell him so all year round 🤷‍♀️

Weird to an adult DC. What’s weird about doing some crafts and having a heart shaped cake with a small human who says I love you every day. Sure, once they are older it becomes strange, just like Santa.
