Children are God's gift to the world...
I'm a little nervous with Valentine's Day on it's way. My divorce was finalized this past December and I'm worried about what I can do with my kids as well as what I can do for myself to not let the day bother me. Any ideas?
Life is lessons in love. No regrets.
I have to agree with Shima. I'd also add that you are a very special father in that you've put your children before yourself (as I noticed in the way you asked the question). May you only know true happiness for the future!

I am sure you understand well enough that disconnecting valentines day from your fresh break up will be a hard job. It looks like it going to be a hard one for you especially when there are kids involved. It probably will bother you no matter what you do , in these situation it takes a longer period of time to pass in order for you to think about someone else.With the kids there are lots of things you can do. I am sure they will appreciate any amusement park , zoo etc. If you are going to be with them they will probably ask the questions that will probably stir up your feelings. Here are some game ideas you can play with them if you really want to emphasize the fact it's Valentines Day.
If you want to do something on your own, I would go for a dinner with a good friend and have a mens nights out.

Just let your children be your valentines, buy some arts and crats stuff and spend the majority of the day makeing valentines card for eachother that's at least six each if you keep in only nuclear family (i hope that's the right spelling) and then if you can afford it dinner and a movie is always nice. It is time for quality family time for all of you.
