What is the true meaning of Valentine's Day? American culture gets it entirely wrong. It is about Christian love in particular, meaning martyrdom. Are you ready to do that for your child? Then make it so. Be a martyr for your child.
It is the concept of pro-social self-crucifixion, meaning parents are to take up the cross for their child, just as Christ took up the cross for His own children, giving up everything for their child, not expecting anything in return. That is true love for a child.
I myself do claim to martyr myself for children, and that is what Valentine's Day was supposed to be about. I love children, and I'm pretty sure I mean it when I say it, wouldn't you say? All parents should love their children to the point of martyrdom.

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
will not be published. Flexible application. Debate is allowed, but only civil arguments that presume the best of intentions in their opponent, on both sides.
