Happy Valentine's Day

I must be very unromantic.I have never sent one to anyone except my DH before we were married. I would never dream of sending one to DD or DGC.I don't see the point .Bah Humbug!

Why would you send family members Valentine cards? It is about romantic love. I think when they are older they will be very disappointed it was from their dad and not a boyfriend or they might presume it was from their dad and it was from a boy who was interested. How thrilling when you are a teenager to have a secret admirer!

Sharing a heart shaped box of chocolates with the whole family would be fun but maybe giving a family member a box because you don't think they have.a love interest might be making them feel worse rather than better. Many people are grateful to be single.

I think best to leave it to the romantic.

No i have never done that and DH and I don't do any of that either. I did give him some heart shaped chocs this morning but mostly as a little thank you for the nice birthday weekend he just gave me.

Never occurred to me!

No, of course not! That would be weird and creepy.

DH sends one ‘ in secret’ to both DDs, has done for years so it’s a bit of a tradition. I think they think it’s sweet of him, one is 30 and single and one is 33 and separated so maybe those are the only ones they’ll get.
Not starting it with GDs though!

Im amused by this as my granddaughter gets one of her mum every year? We do cards at nursery where I work and the children take them home . I hope this year my one unmarried son gets one and it leads to better things as he's still single!!just a mothers wish!!

I sent one to my six year old GD last year but couldn’t find one suitable this year so haven’t. I left it too late to make her one, bad timing on my part. I suspect she won’t mind.

My DD is in her thirties and engaged to be married. My DH sent her a card as usual, as he has done since she was a wee girl. However, we found it really difficult to find one that was appropriate! Every year he says that this will be the last time.

I gave my DD a box of heart shaped chocolates this morning. I think it must be very hard for her and all the other single people out there even tho we know that Valentines Day is just a hyped up commercial concoction. It’s easy to say ‘we ignore it’ when you are in a relationship. My 6 year old GD was here yesterday and made mummy and daddy heart shaped biscuits, a card and heart shaped paper chains! All her own idea. I think she is going to be a romantic.
