Life as a parent, or as an adult for that matter, is so full of juggling commitments and priorities from morning to night that a day in the middle of the week, which is always too short anyway, seems totally unsuitable for hardcore romance with the delivery of a perfect gift, a romantic dinner and all the rest of the protocol.
From my point of view... If we are lucky enough not to forget anything urgent (like the dentist's appointment or which one of us will pick up the kids after school), then the evening cuddling in front of the TV with a glass of wine and our favourite series will be a great victory. I might suggest opening the box of chocolates he got for his birthday. And it's quite possible that he'll fall asleep leaning on my shoulder while we watch the series, ha, ha... I shouldn't be interrupting, but that's pretty much all the romance we're going to manage on this day.
In general, we don't like big celebrations in the classic sense (anniversaries, birthdays, holidays...) where we have to force ourselves into high emotional states and be super productive with ideas and performance just because it's the date on the calendar. Yes, we're celebrating something we want to remember, but we're doing it at our own pace and on our own terms.
What about you? How do you feel about Valentine's Day and other celebrations? If you don't mind, share your views on our Instagram or Facebook page. In any case, I hope you have a wonderful day!
