Do you do anything for your parents on Valentine's Day?

I've always thought of Valentine's day as a day for love birds.
It never really pertained to me since I've never been in a relationship or dated.

I never thought of it in a son/mother or father/daughter kind of relationship model.
My female coworker here says she recieves 4 valentines day gifts every year as an example, one of them being from her father.

I'm single(23), and my mom(50) is widowed. And yes, we live in the same house.
I've been suggested to do something by my coworkers, but I just don't know what to do or if I should even do anything at all.
It's too late for me to order flowers so that's out of the question.

Do people normally do things for their parents on Valentine's day?
 
I don't. Parents have their own holidays, Valentines Day isn't one of them. See Mother's Day and Father's Day.
 
I get my mom a grocery store bouquet on Valentines day because she always gets me a thing of chocolates....

Yes, I do things on Mother's day.

It doesn't sound as much creepy since my father died 10 years ago and my mom hasn't tried (and isn't trying) to find another man.
It feels creepy for me to just sit home and see her home as well with nobody doing anything.

This is the 1st time I will be home with my mom on valentines day in recent memory.
The past 10 years I was either too young to care or in college(the last 6 years).

wtf do you two do for the other 364 days of the year?

Valentines day is a scam anyway. Created by greeting card companies. But it's a scam for couples, lovers, significant others, NOT Parents.

 
my mom always sends me a card on v-day... my mom sends cards for just about any occasion imaginable, though. lol.

I don't do anything for my parents on valentine's day. if my dad were dead or they were divorced, I might send flowers... something nice but absolutely non-romantic (ie: yellow flowers)

5/7 of the 365 days, I work.
It just happened to be on a weekend that I don't work this year.

I will be busy helping my younger brother who is abroad with his college applications. The deadline for most applications is Feb. 15th so that at least gives me an excuse to do nothing on the 14th.
 
I figured as much that it wasn't a common occurence.
I thought it was wierd when suggested.


Female employee(22): What are you going to get me on Friday for valentine's day since you don't work Saturday?
Me: I don't celebrate it.
Female partner(38): Why?
Me: Because I'm single and also there's too much commercialization.
Female partner: You should do something for your mom.
Me: Never really thought about it as something like that.
Female employee: Sure. I recieve 4 gifts every valentines day with one of them being from my father.
Me: Whut?
 
if you're feeling bad for your mom, flowers can't hurt! just nothing valentine-y (ie: if the flowers are red, pink, or in any type of heart shape, don't do it.
 
Forgive me for asking but why even entertain the suggestion instead of working out how you're going to spend the weekend banging this 22yr old co-worker of yours?

Based on what little information you could provide about the conversation, I have concluded that she wants your cock. Why aren't you giving it to her?

I'll concede that getting your mom yellow flowers would be a nice gesture. Isn't white also acceptable? nope, the internet says "no."

Because I don't date my employees.
My paycheck is much more important than dating some chick at work.

FWIW, that 22yr old coworker has a BF working for the same company in another department.
Even if we didn't work together, I wouldn't date her. She sounds high maintenance.

Let's not turn this to a L&R thread.
 
I'm a mom. A valentine from a 3-year-old is cute. When they get older it's just creepy. If I were to get a valentine from one of my kids (current age 19 thru 26) I'd just assume that they wanted something.

However, we have a family tradition of stocking up on candy during the after-valentine sales. If one of the kids shows up with a dozen boxes of candy at 90 per cent off, I'd be happy - i do that to them too. Good shopping!

I don't believe I used the word "date" anywhere.. 😉

bah, I'm wasting my time.. You're a virgin right? OP says no relationships or even dating and I'm guessing you're not the type for one night stands or prostitutes.. If your mom is the only woman in your life then you might as well embrace that. Beats being alone I suppose.
