In the whirlwind of parenting, romantic moments often take a backseat. My partner, Jake, has been tirelessly working to support our family, leaving little room for traditional romance. I understand his inclination to let me steer our date plans, given his demanding schedule. While he’s made strides in being thoughtful, gifts like a new rice cooker or kitchen utensils don’t exactly send my heart racing.
This Valentine’s Day, I have a few wishes that would truly make me feel cherished.
Flowers
I envision beautiful arrangements of red roses filling our home—preferably displayed high up where little hands can’t reach them. Or perhaps I’d love a bunch of lilies, since they’re my absolute favorite. Ideally, both would be perfect, just remember: they need to be out of reach!
A Day at the Spa
Would be heavenly. Picture me indulging in a soothing massage and a manicure-pedicure—pure “me time.” Perhaps a little liposuction and breast augmentation would be nice too, but let’s keep it realistic; a spa day is more than enough. Also, I’m definitely getting gel nails, so don’t even think about stopping me.
An Evening at That Fancy Restaurant
You’ve mentioned would sweep me off my feet. Sure, it’s a splurge, but it’s Valentine’s Day! Let’s skip the usual water and indulge in an appetizer and a couple of fruity drinks.
Chocolate
If only there were a way to enjoy the luxurious kind without the calories! If that’s not possible, I’m willing to accept the calories, but you might want to consider a wardrobe upgrade afterward. Unless, of course, you can invent something that’s zero-calorie but still divine—then I’ll just wait.
Jewelry
Is always a delightful gift. I’m not looking for anything extravagant, just something new to replace the worn-out pieces that have endured the chaos of family life.
Lingerie
Surprise me with something that excites you—a piece that makes you eager to see me in it, only to have it come off quickly. Let’s swap out the old cotton for something a bit more enticing.
Intimacy
Why not spice things up with a couple of fun toys or games? Always wanted to try out handcuffs? Valentine’s Day provides the perfect excuse! Though honestly, we don’t really need a reason to explore new experiences together.
Cliché? Perhaps, but there’s a reason these ideas are classic for Valentine’s Day. As a mom who began her journey before she could legally celebrate with a drink, I sometimes miss the romance and allure of being wooed. I wouldn’t trade my life as a mother for anything, but a little romance sprinkled in would be delightful.
While Father’s Day approaches, I can’t help but think about the classic “steak and BJs” idea, which also feels cliché but definitely holds some appeal.

In summary, while I cherish my role as a mother, a little romance wouldn’t hurt. A thoughtful Valentine’s Day could bring us closer, reminding us that love and connection are just as important as the day-to-day hustle.
