We have a hard time getting into the bigger holidays, so Valentine's usually isn't even on the radar.
The awkward thing is, just yesterday I got a call from my MIL telling me that she is going to come visit us the weekend after, and that furthermore she is going to watch the kids Saturday night so that we can go out to dinner for a belated Valentine's Day. She's done this several times before, both inviting herself over and then kicking us out. I know she means well, and though her methods are pushy there's nothing inherently wrong with a grandmother wanting to spend time with her grandkids--but it's really weird having it dictated, especially because then we feel obligated to actually dress up and go somewhere nice, to somehow validate her gesture.
