PDA Today?

Does anyone else ever shake their head when they see a "public display of affection" PDA on the street corner? It seems that now with social media it has spread online too. It's Valentine's Day, and everyone wants to send out a special Valentine's greeting to their special person. It's not enough that we have face to face, email, text, phone call, video chat etc. etc. people have to use social media like Instagram or Facebook to put a public announcement of a personal wish to their friend or spouse. If you are married, you just spent the night with them, if you are not, call them. To me it seems impersonal and sort of like exploiting something. Do you really need to show all your friends and associates that you give your other a big birthday wish, valentine's greeting or I love you note? Are you that insecure about your relationship? It sounds like a cry for attention. Or are you just showing off what your man got your or your woman did for you? "He got you 5 dozen roses? psh, my man got me 6 dozen with assorted colors and a stuffed bear"..... the photos seem to say.  When you tell someone over and over how much in love with them you are.....on social media, you sound like you are trying to convince yourself you love them. Keep it private and personal. We wouldn't go into a crowded room and say those things to them on a loud speaker would we? So why put them on social media? Strange.......

As parents, we choose to have children and therefore we are obligated to sacrifice almost everything in our life to raise, teach and protect...
