Valentine’s<\/a> day is that one day in the year That has every lady expecting a gift of heart shaped chocolate, sexy lingerie, flowers, and expensive perfumes. For singles mom’s, Valentine is nothing close to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One single mother<\/a> talks about how Valentine is that time of the year when she had to wait till the night before February 14th to stuff tiny pieces of sweet tarts and rocks into small envelops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next thing she finds herself doing us asking her child for the name of every<\/a> child in the class (including the bully and the extremely shy one) just so everyone gets an envelope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every mom wants their child<\/a> to eat healthy and that includes on Valentine’s day. So this single mom has to go on Pinterest to hunt for healthy snacks that kids<\/a> will have fun eating and parents will also approve of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone knows how simple Pinterest makes DIY look and you’ll be misled to think it’ll take you less than 20 minutes to make and pack the snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So on the most romantic day of the year, a lot of single mothers end up crafting Cupid from toothpicks and grapefruits, cutting watermelon into tiny heart shapes, and transporting them to a classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fact of the matter is that as a single mum almost every holiday is redefined to mean something different for you. Because all of the love you have to give is going straight to the little buddies that warm up your heart; your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many single mothers spend valentine’s<\/a> day feeling sorry for themselves because there is no one to get them roses, nice underwears, or set up a candle lit dinner which is very understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Considering how people have made valentine a sex filled holiday, who wouldn’t be jealous knowing that the next door neighbour is having the most wonderful sex in the world while you’re stuck in your apartment with your 3 kids who wouldn’t stop yelling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re a single mum<\/a> and you’re reading this I want you to know that you’re not alone in this journey and there are ways you can survive through february 14th of every year without feeling like the world is against you and you have nothing to celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are going to discuss a few ways to live through valentine’s day feeling like the luckiest person in the world but before we start let us take a look at a brief history of Valentine’s day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know a lot of us already are aware of the history behind the celebration of valentine’s day on the 14th of February<\/a> but it wouldn’t do any harm to give a little reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n many years ago when the roman empire was at its peak claudius made a ruling that young men were not allowed to get married because he felt that they were better fighters than the ones who were married whenever they went to war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n St valentine decided to become a rebel because he wasn’t comfortable with the ruling and he continued to marry off young couples regardless of the law put<\/a> in place by claudius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n when gladys discovered what st valentine was doing he got very angry and order this execution. As valentine waited for the day he would die, he fell in love with the daughter of the jail warden. ST valentine was a hopeless romantic so on the day he was the guy he wrote a letter to the love of his life and signed it “from your valentine.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n from then on people began to celebrate February 14th as a day of romance also because the 14th of February aligns with the period when birds begin their mating season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n whether you are a single mum who has a boyfriend or single mum who’s just focusing on her kids the point remains that valentine’s<\/a> day is a day to celebrate love and it doesn’t have to be the romantic kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere did it begin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Single mom or not, it’s still a day to celebrate love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
