No, my husband wasn't jealous. The perfume was a sampler from a friend who is selling the stuff online, and wanted my opinion.

While we're on the subject of Valentine's Day, here's a little story from my house. In addition to candy for me, my husband also brought candy for our daughter, but nothing for my son. I thought it was a faux pas. If a father is giving Valentine's candy to his daughter, he should also give some to his son.

What do you think? Are sons exempt? Or not?

Feldman http://www.surfnetkids.com The Valentine's Day etiquette votes are in and my readers overwhelmingly agree that Valentine's Day is egalitarian. In addition to the votes, here are some comments:

"You are SOOOOOOOOO lucky! I wish I had a website to publicize my husband's 'faux pas!' " A.B.

"If you're his mother, why didn't YOU buy something for your son?" G.B.

"The polling results so far left me a little shocked. Surely boys need to be shown love just as much as girls, and Valentines Day is the time to show it." J.F.

I didn't understand the last one, since J.F. seemed to misunderstand the poll results, but ... oh well!
