Valentines sucks, I use to dream of having a bf/husband to spoil me on v day, and now for the past 3 years I despise it. I've tried in the past to get a card and something small while I get the kids things, but usually break down posting on here because they don't make v-day cards for wh's, but this year I'm not doing anything. And it feels good, I'll let the kids pick out a box of candy or something, but I'm tired of trying and feeling fake.

This year I'm spending v-day with my babies, they don't have school, and it's the first day of girl scout cookie booth sales. So me and my daughter will do our first sale late morning, then me and my babies will have our traditional heart shaped pizza lunch, and of course chocolate, then me and my daughter have another sale from 4-6. Not sure what we'll do for dinner, but I really don't care. I just want to spend it with the ones that actually love me, and that's not wh. He won't get home until around 7/8 anyways, never has gotten off early for vday, he'll probably stop at the store on the way home and get me chocolate, whatever they have left that he thinks I'll want, and that will be that.

I just want my babies to have a good day and a fun day, no stress or tension (except for the first cookie sale of the year stress). There's no reason they can't feel all the love and happiness on vday, even if I don't.

What are your plans, avoiding, doing something special with your kids, or with ws?

It is senior night at the high school, my son is a senior. I will walk with him to present him to the school as his mom. Dad may be there if he chooses. Usually the senior presents their mom with a rose. That will be the only gift I will expect

I did get a generic card for WH. No mush this year. I give up. L appt is on the 12... happy v-day... I want a D

I want nothing from wh. I just might shove the gift, card, chocolates, or whatever up his ass If anything we will probably all go out to eat-kids and all-- because that's really who I want to be with anyway. They are the true loves of my life

My H has class that day… Wondering if he's going to dress up extra nice to impress the TA, or make jokes with her, or get candy in class…

Me? I'm going to stay in with my toddler son and get as much sleep as he'll let me. And maybe order Thai food.
