re: #335 A Mom Anon

I know it’s weird, but I hate Valentines Day. You want to show me I’m loved and special? Do kind and thoughtful things for me, just because. I’ve heard too many men bitch about how much they hate and stress out over it that I think it’s mostly an obligatory reflex for a lot of couples, and most of the marketing is geared towards men. Now, if you and your beloved love this day and the celebration brings you joy and closeness, then do what ya do. The best part for me is when all the dark chocolate candies and cakes get marked down to clearance prices on the 15th. Romance? Meh,lol.

At some level, I hate all of the “give gifts on this day” types of things, including birthdays. If I see something I think you’ll like, I’ll get it for you.
