I'd Be Punching Them In The Face

So says a local mother if anyone sent her son a VALENTINE'S card. She thinks such cards for children are "not normal".
And she's shown holding cards with tigger and Winnie the pooh...so are those for adults?

Don't people have more important things to get stressed over?
We sent...and made...valentines cards when I was young, and I bet plenty of others on here also did the same.

it always strikes me that the people who think these sort of weird things are themselves somewhat warped

Get the paints and glitter out and have fun if your children want to send them, don't pay silly prices.

The cards are not my thing, but each to his own. Strange how she doesn’t want people showing affection but she’ll quite gladly advocate violence - strange world we live in.

Ah, but mamya...this lady would probably consider even making them to be "not normal".

[Mamyalynne]

Funny woman and dodgy too.

Plymouth, innit.

I'm guessing Nichola/Nicola was staring forlornly at the inside of the letterbox on Feb 14th as a child and took to punching her way through life to compensate.

Guessing mind, don't send her round this way with her fists of fury.

Slight skew on the subject but when I was a child in Suffolk, St Valentine used to bring presents. Just small things like a few sweets, a pencil, that sort of thing. He would knock on the door and run away, leaving the gift on the step. Has anybody else heard of this, it can't just have been our family?

i do find it peculiar that a parent would send a valentine card to their child?

[maggiebee]

I have always sent a Valentine's card to my grandchildren and they have sent one to me. Harmless bit of fun which carried on until they became teenagers. Some people need to get a life.

I wouldn't punch anyone in the face over it, but I do find children receiving Valentine's cards rather strange. It wouldn't do for me.

All my early poetry and acronyms came from Valentine cards when I was a 13e+ (Jack the) lad:-)
Hearts and cabbages, Pyjamas and nighties, B.U.R.M.A., Holland.
I loved ya baby, oh how I've missed ya
But while you were away, I slept with ya sister.

She feels young children can't participate in valentines yet she feels they can be punched in the face by mothers of other children?

A screw is loose, I'm sure.

My dad used to send them to me as a joke to make me think I had a secret admirer.
