am i the only one who did not have their kid make their mom/mil a v-day present?

MrsJaimebeth

i didn't even have alexa make my husband a present (or buy anything from her for him..or didn't even have her make him a card or buy one)....yet my mom is making me feel bad for not having alexa "give her anything" for valentines day...i did actually buy a card from alexa, for my mom..but i guess that wasn't good enough...im so annoyed...i mean i guess i do feel bad, now that she brought it to my attention, but i am just not a crafty person, and honestly, didn't think to do anything....am i bad person for that?  oy, the guilt....

p.s  i don't recall us ever being the "valentine celebrating family" in the past

we did nothing- nothing for me, nothing for Mike, nothing for grandmas'- I did make two small things for teachers and our class favors, but other then that- nothing!

Nope, not a thing.

Im not crafty. I went to Target and bought cards and Abby semi-signed them. If Abby wants to do arts and crafts, she does them in school.

nope- nothing here for the grandparents.  If V-day was on a Sunday we'd probably have them draw pictures/cards... b/c we have dinner wtih them most sundays... but otherwise- it's not a special day to my parents - they are like DH and me -- not into the hallmark holidays.

We didn't do anything.  I'm not that crafty either, and when I mentioned that Maya could draw a picture and make a card for her grandmothers, she didn't feel like it.  I didn't push it.

I uploaded a few pics to the Walmart website & made a few photo cards.  Then I got some cheap frames when I went to pickup the cards.... I spent about $2 each in total & both my mil & mom and mh loved them.  That was their gift/card.  You don't have to go crazy or be so creative...

just a card from him, signed by me. anthony and i dont really go nuts over valentines day so it didnt even occur to me to go out of my way. and fwiw, i AM very crafty and still did nothing.

DD came home & asked if she could make my dad & stepmom a heart & decorate with stickers so she did. Had she not asked, I would not have done anything.

Just cards here. Nothing special. It's also my birthday so we just had both sets of grandparents here for cake and he gave them their Valentine cards. Otherwise nothing.

My mom is huge on cards so I sent one to her from the kids.  Nothing for my MIL or Nick though.

no

I didn't do anything for my mom or MIL. The only thing I did was make the little heart crayons and bag them up for their friends.

Both families are in FL on vacation so no I didn't. They all sent my kids stuff but seriously it's kind of out of hand. Like $50 checks!!!! I was like WHAT!!??? My kids made valentines @5 pm because my son asked and asked for cupcakes that was about all I had in me I don't get the fuss

we made V day placemats on 11x17 oak tag and ordered a pizza. All good

never even croiased my mind

E & B gave me cards but I was honestly surprised and I didn't do anything- I didn't tell E it was V-day, he has no clue what it is/means, and I don't care. It's nothing against V-Day. I'm just also not a crafty person, am not big into any holidays and I know B certainly doesn't care. Other people can do whatever they want but I'm not making any of these holidays into a big deal. I have a friend who's started a tradition of basically giving and getting gifts for her kids/parents/husband, etc for EVERYTHING. Halloween- gifts. V-day- more gifts, St Patricks- gift again, Easter- even more. It's way overkill for ME. That's a lot of gift responsibility, yo.

i had the kids give my mom a little box of chocolate on superbowl sunday when we saw them just to avoid the guilt trip she would lay on me if i didnt get her anything, not because me or the kids wanted to give her something.
