Infant valentines?

Question

So my son’s daycare sent me a list of the names of the kids in his classroom “in case you want to do valentines” — am I going to be Scrooge mommy if i don’t participate? What do infant valentines entail? (He’s 4 months old). Happy to play along.. just don’t know what to expect from the other parents! If it wasn’t already clear.. ftm here. Tyia!

Answer

Definitely not a Scrooge.  I wouldn’t want a bunch of crap from other peoples’ houses during covid right now (the schools here won’t allow an exchange because of that) and they’re babies.  They have no idea what day it is or what they’re getting.  I think it’s dumb the teachers are even organizing that 😂

Answer

I would just get a pack of Valentine’s to send. They don’t cost much. My son wasn’t in daycare on his first Valentine’s Day so he was 1 the first time he was at daycare for it. He didn’t understand but I made him a box and sent Valentine’s for the kids in class. He’s 2 this year and still doesn’t get it, but I have a box and cards for him for their party. For me, I just want to get in the habit of participating from the beginning, because my mom didn’t really help us out with anything like this growing up and I was always the odd one out. I don’t want my son to feel that way, so I just started as soon as daycare mentioned they were doing something. It’s easy to say well I didn’t do it last year so I won’t this year.

Answer

I wouldn’t do it personally. Kids that young don’t know any better & I would waste my time or money making out Valentine’s.

Answer

I work at a child care centre. We always try to include the babies even though they are “to little” we never have parents address valentines though we always ask for them to be addressed “to my friend” so that the the cards don’t get all mixed up. You definitely don’t need to send Valentines with your 4 month old they most likely just wanted to be sure to include everyone ☺️

Answer

At 4 months old? I would pass

Answer

Its covid, this is more of a nice gesture for other parents. Go to the dollar tree and grab a pack even if its silly. Write them out and send in. Itll be fun

Answer

We didn’t when they were that young. Some people gave teddy bears when our kids were little. Now that our daughter is 3.5 we are going to do cards.

Answer

Just sent out our first Valentine’s cards at age 4 years. We are all stuck inside so figured it would be a nice surprise for her little friends, who doesn’t love mail!

Answer

Nope. At 18 months we’re not participating. Less junk in the house is fine by us!

Answer

It’s fine if you don’t. It’s just for fun and they probably didn’t want to leave anyone out. Our local schools have kids bring in their valentines and then they’ll sit for a week and then the teachers will pass it out to the kids so they can still have their party.
