Not too long ago, you might have celebrated Valentine’s Day with wining and dining, candy and flowers. Like, for you. But now that kids are in the picture, it’s a whole ‘nother ball of wax (lips). These tweets from parents pretty much sum up the madness:
When dining out can double as a public service announcement. #twobirds
I bring my kids to a romantic restaurant on Valentine's day as a birth control reminder to the other couples.

There are so many creative ways to surprise the love of your life.
Looking forward to seeing the panicked expression on my husband’s face tomorrow when I tell him it’s Valentines Day.

Sometimes romance can be found in the most unexpected places.
This Valentine’s Day, say the three little words she’s longing to hear: “You sleep in.”

Mother knows best.
Me: Do you want me to pick up some Valentine's candy for you and the girls today?
Wife: Absolutely not.
Me: Seriously?
Wife: It'll be on sale tomorrow.

Savor those milestones.
I think "first time none of my kids needed help with their Valentine's cards" just edged out "first smile" for my favorite "first."

Good things come in small packages. Sometimes great things come in no package at all.
I'm not sure what my husband has planned for Valentine's Day but I hope it involves him taking the kids & leaving me home alone.

Sharing is caring.
My 5yo included a little something special with each Valentine she signed…
Germs. Because she coughed on every single one of them.

You win some, you lose some. (Mostly you lose some.)
Can't wait to battle my kid to help me make 20 Valentines that he will say are not as cool as the ones Liam's mom made.

What they don’t know won’t hurt them.

It’s the thought that counts.
Me: Happy Valentine's Day, kids! Here are some homemade cinnamon rolls I made for you!
Kid: Why didn't you make them into hearts?
Me: …

Romance really does come in all stripes.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
It's your turn to change the baby,
And he just went poo.Happy Valentine's Day.
