DS 4 yo and Valentine's Day...

[vtiredmummy]

Interested in opinions really...

DS who is 4 is excited about making some cards and little pasta bracelets for his 'loved ones' for Valentines Day. We did this together this mornign and had a lovely time. He wants to give them to boys as well as girls.

Now I don't have an issue with this, but DH does! He piped up and said it would be inappropriate for DS to send other boys Valentine's cards, and their parents are likely to think us strange for allowing it.

So now I am and in a dilemma that I hadn't really worried about before!

What do people out there think? If your DS received a card from another boy, would you be bothered? I know I wouldn't and I suppose that was what I was basing my opinion on.

I wouldn't care - its a big thing in America - kids give cards to each other regardless of sex. Personally at that age I wouldnt think it weird at all - theyre still babies!

I wouldn't necessarily find it weird if ds received one (although maybe a bit) but I don't think I'd let him send to another boy incase any of the other mums thought it weird and made a comment.

I hope I don't sound, well I don't know ... but just being honest.

Its interesting, I also think at that age its very harmless, and a nice expression of friendship, but my DH is like you, bothered about it.

TBH, I ignored him forgot his advice and DS went ahead. He got a lot of pleasure from it.

Now he's 7, he'd be waaay to embarassed to do anything similar. Its such a small window where they want to do things like this, I'd go with it.
