I guess I missed the memo that we were to buy something for our kids for Valentines Day. I thought when my kids were little that buying candy and Valentines Day cards for their classmates was all I had to do. Not only that, I had to fill out the cards for their classmates. Not fun when you have 3 kids in grade school. The guy that I work for buys cards for his daughters every year. His youngest kid is 21, isn't that what boyfriends are suppose to do? I feel like a bad mom.

LOL, I'm with Anna, as far as missing the memo is concerned. Cards and candy are more than enough and in some instances, too much. What we might want to teach our kids are the number of ways to express love that don't involve reaching into a purse or a wallet (smile). Loris last blog post..

Hey Folks, My husband and I have decided to buy our daughter (she's 8) a piece of jewelry each valentine's day. The pieces will be small, like a charm to add to a bracelet or little stud earrings and as she grows the peices will commensurate with age and maturity. We thought of this not to spoil her but so she's not impressed when some knucklehead starts shinning diamonds or dangling candy in front of her but more importantly so she's included in on that special day.

I'm going to start giving my three girls something special from Dad every year. Currently TheMom gives all of the kids a card and some candy or something like that. TheDads last blog post..Thinking of a Master (Relationship) Plan

You want to include your child, while at the same time making sure that she knows how special she is to her parents, Good luck to the future "knucleheads" that won't even be able to compete with mommy and especially "daddys little girl".
