Me and my friend having a debate

I personally don’t mind if you buy gifts for your mom but I feel like the day is for the wife and girlfriend he should be spending time with them.

It’s a day for romantic partners. Not for mum.

I clicked the wrong one scrolling by. It’s just for romantic partners

I voted wrong. Not for mom

No. Mothers Day is for his mum. Vday is romantic relationships only imo. I think maybe the ONLY exception if his mum is single and not partnered. Even then it’s a stretch. Because Hubbys mum is single and not partnered and he’s never gotten her anything on Vday she’s never celebrated it anyway lol

I think any excuse to buy your loved ones little gifts is a good excuse. So sure why not buy mom some flowers or chocolates. But the main focus should be spending time with his romantic partner.

I feel anyone can celebrate it. My parents always got me things for vday and I do the same for my kids and I would think it's sweet if my partner gave his mom gifts too.

I think it just depends on how you choose to celebrate it. I know a lot of people celebrate it with their kids and the parents gift something to the kids or vice versa just kind of putting an emphasis that it’s like a “love day”, regardless of what that type of love is. But yeah I mean I’d generally see it as a romantic day.

We buy valentine gifts for our kids to give their friends at school. Some of us buy gifts for our kids on that day. Why not buy a gift for your own mother? I don’t see the issue. It’s not that deep.

@Haley 💚 reading is fundamental boo

@Bethany maybe I shouldn’t have put the putting gift parts but I meant spending the day with your mom not buying gifts

You asked if a man should celebrate and buy gifts for his mom or should it be just for his partner, correct? You wrote your opinion on it and this is mine. What part am I not reading that you would like to be addressed?

Eh i wouldn’t mind if he got her like a lil chocolate and rose, but the pint of valentines is the partner you fell in love with and created life with… moms have Mother’s Day. It all depends on how they were raised celebrating it, but if they’re giving the same or less treatment then their mom that’s a bit of an issue for me 😅

I don’t mind it valentines is a day for love since a child it’s always Been that way and should only be romanticized when intimate my husband gets flowers and chocolates for our daughters too

I don’t think it matters. My 8 year old daughter loves Valentine’s Day which I’ll probably need to remember next year to get her something.

Uhhh getting your mom a valentine’s gift is super weird. That’s your mom, not your romantic interest/partner. If you want an excuse to buy her a present, then it being a Friday is a better excuse than Valentine’s Day. LOL
