This Valentine's day, lots of partners do their date in celebration for lovers, actually this topic is for those who are having their husband/wife, my question is, do we have to take our kids on a date like today? For me, its ok because we are family now, every thing what we have must be share to each in everyone of us, that's what the true family is, tell me more about yours,,..

Me and my fiance did half and half. For the first part of the day we spent it with kids we exchanged gifts with them, Took them out to lunch and to the park so that they could feel apart of Valentines day also. The second half of the day in the evening was for me and him. We got a babysitter and went out to eat, exchanged gift and spent time with each other alone. It is great to do things as a family but It also feels great to feel youthful again, and feel all in love and not have to worry about potty breaks and things like that.

A good plan, a masterpiece, dividing the time is quite difficult because it needs to manage it correctly, if not, then the problem occurs, but its nice, you've done a good chop to make it equally, have a happy day.

Not all the time. Sometimes, couples have to take time out from being parents.

Yes if you want to make the date a family date but if you wanted to be alone to spend more memorale time with each other then you can leave them at home while you wanted to celebrate it alone.

Well sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I have had valentines and anniversaries where I have taken them to go to dinner as well, especially when they are really small and more of a handful. Also if you don't have help available...well what can you do???...the key here is to have an enjoyable time. You don't necessarily have to be smooching an hour to have a good time with your spouse :)) hahahaha
