Definitely talk with the teacher. These kinds of interactions may make your big one begin to hate school. Especially if this Mary person is isolating her from her friend! Good luck! I’m so sorry she’s dealing with this!

They also had a party and we were signed up to bring fruit so he asked for watermelon and we used cookie cutters to make it into heart shapes. At the party, there was way too much food for them to eat (24 kids bringing snacks) so much of it ended up going straight in the trash. When we got home and opened his Valentine bag, there was so much candy in it, I think only one other parent did the standard Valentine card. It was too much, in my opinion, but I still felt bad that I hadn’t attached some sort of treat like most of the others had.

Christopher’s school is closed all week (furlough days), and so they, very logically, celebrated Valentine’s Day on Friday. They sent home a note, I was aware of this…

And then on Friday, he came home with a big pink envelope of valentines…

Me – What is that?
Him – My valentines.
Me – From where?
Him – My friends at school
Me – What?!!?!?
Him – We did valentines today.
Me – You did?!??!??!
Him – Uh huh.
Me – Oh no honey! I am so sorry! We didn’t do yours!
Him – Can I eat this piece?

Note that his comments were completely without emotion or concern. He got valentines, got candy, etc. He was happy. I’m actually not sure it occurred to him that he was supposed to bring anything…(even though everyone else did).

So there you go. At least you sent something, and aren’t the awful mom who sent her kid to school to get candy and cards from everyone else, bringing nothing to share!

Treats and goodies don’t make you more or less so, that’s just what you do for them when you have the time. They know you love them and that’s what Valentine’s day, and every day is about really. Give yourself a break and hug your kids extra tight when they get home. :)

I don’t have any cool ones to show for previous years either, and I got down about it every year because I always *wanted* to do something – but this year I think I’m finally over it. Just too much other stuff going on to worry about a Hallmark holiday ;-)

I was cracking up reading this! Been going through the same thing except its usually local politicians, verizon fios, or jehovahs witnesses. I needed that laugh thank you for that!
