Do most mothers of teens expect a Valentine’s Day card or other momento from their children on Valentine’s Day?
May 27th, 2010
I am a considerate person and I think Valentines Day is a fun holiday for expressing love and affection which should not be ignored, even if the love is between family members and friends versus romantic partners. For this reason, I am encouraging my teenage children to get their mother a Valentines Day card, even though their mother and I are divorced. I’m not going to make a big deal if they don’t and blow it off (as teens are inclined to do with lots of things), but am I on point when I say this is something that children should do on Valentine’s Day, i.e. get at least a card for their mother or make something up to show acknowledgment and appreciation?
I know that parents have Mother’s Day and Father’s Day but Valentines Day is also significant and I don’t think it is just for lovers but extends to anyone for whom you have a special place in your heart.
Am I taking it too far though and has Hallmark totally brainwashed unsuspecting consumers like me?
