Heard an ad for a restaurant on the radio proudly proclaiming that "you don't need a babysitter on Vday as kids eat freeeeeeeeeeee under 10!!!!" (limit 2 kids PER adult)

Yeah not a selling point in my book.  What the hell is wrong with getting a babysitter????  Parents need a break once in awhile!

"Hey honey! Let's take the kids to our romantic valentine's meal!"

.... No. Just no... We don't normally go out Valentine's... But if we ever do... I promise you it'll be JUST US...

I enjoyed going out with my bios. They didnt act like entitled skids. Even after we separated, my ex & I would take the kids for an occasional dinner out or movie.

The restaurant is just completely missing the point of why the parents want/need a a babysitter on the V day lol 

It's never that "so that I don't have pay for the kids' meals" lol

I'm sitting in my classroom with a basket full of cards, candy and flowers from my students and coworkers.

Growing up, my parents always gave my sister and I small boxes of candy and coloring books on Valentine's Day.  We always exchanged cards and candy with our classmates.  I'm 51, so this isn't a new concept.

In my opinion, having the day include more than just lovers, is a good thing.

I agree, it is for lovers.  I say that as I stay home today with my broken leg and my bitch went into heat and keeping her and my male separated is a big ordeal.  I ordered a lot of take out from Longhorns today ha!  Us and the teens -but seriously it's because we can't leave dogs unnatended and end up with pups we never intended.  I do have two full AKC show/performance dogs but she is only a year old tomorrow and health tests not finished. No way in hell are we backyard breeders-we must bide time and finish titles/health clearances first.
