Me nor my DH got anything from SS12 and SS14. And we got them chocolates and I-tunes cards, etc and didn't even get a thank you. Nice, huh?

I didn't get so much as a look in my direction and I couldn't care less!

I wouldn't worry about it if everything seems ok otherwise. Twelve year olds are pretty oblivious to the world around them.

i never expect anything from them. Hence why i have no disappointment. My dh called them to wish them a happy val day. I did get them a small bag of chocolates... regardless....I do every year.
But i'm actually thinking of not giving them anything next year. They're getting older...sd is in her teens and ss is almost there so...i'm probably not doing anythign next year.

No you are not. I didnt hear a thing from my SKIDS. Its ok though. As i have stated in a previous post i beleive that VDAY is for adults so thats ok with me. They are not my valentine by BF is and I heard from him so that makes me happy

We don't exchange Valentine's with the kids... DF gives his kids a thing of candy each and I make cupcakes or something...but we've never given cards or expected something back. Valentine's isn't a big deal anyway in our house. I wouldn't sweat it. I didn't ever give Valentines to adults when I was a kid either...

I don't do vday for kids. Dh got them each a little box of chocolates,a card and a stuffed bear but I refuse to share my "sexy" holiday w kids. Sd never does anything thoughtful toward me anyway so bending backward to include her in my vday would have killed my romantic mood for the real meaning of the day for me."Venting without the desire to look within and improve your situation is simply venting to hear yourself bitch."

Wow... I feel really bad for you. I think the one thing that really makes smy day is when I recieve a picture or a drawing from my stepkids. It lets me know that they know that I love them. I think it is the same on the other side as well. When my kids make things for my hubby or even ask abut how he is, it lets me know that they are really thinking of him.

I bought a card to send to my step-daughter and had her dad sign it, my son sign it, and sent it - I didn't hear anything back, but I should check with my husband just in case. Hmmmmm.

I encouraged my SS to call his mom and say "I love you" but didn't get anything in return. Not surprised. Blah.
