Valentine’s Day
Show your support
I don’t see the issue. You don’t need to feel any way about it 🤷🏽♀️ her mums doing a nice thing for her, regardless whether or not she normally does I’m sure SD will be super excited when it arrives. Growing up my mum always got us a chocolate rose flower 🌹 last year my partner got my daughter flowers, and I told him this year she’d like that to continue 😂 I think it’s cute, and no harm done.
Don’t get the issue Many parents buy gifts for their kids for Valentine’s Day it’s all about love not just a romantic type of love especially not nowadays! If you’re worried the gift not being appropriate can you ask mum what it is so you can intercept it before SD opens it But honestly she doesn’t have to ask permission to send a gift - sorry
Yes I’m obviously just being an arse in my head because I don’t like mum, you are right thanks all x
You aren’t an arse, this is a tough gig x
Upon reflection and following today, I wasn’t an arse. SD Mum didn’t contact all week, until today (even though she’s meant to) and given the expectation that SD then had to receive a gift it didn’t happen and it reminded me exactly why I felt yucky about her saying it. I guess in a normal set up with a lovely mum it’s great, but this isn’t one of them. Just wanted to update as I was confused by my feelings initially.
Sending hugs. All you can do is be there for your SD. Kids aren’t stupid, she’ll soon realise- if hasn’t already. And next time won’t get so excited.
Personally, I think it’s a sweet thing to do. I do valentines every year for my kids, always have and always will. We don’t have the step children this year so I’ll post their bits. It makes the kids feel so special and it’s memory making. Think how exciting it’ll be for her to receive something lovely in the post and how excited she will be. This is about her no one else.
