Today, it's my soon to be 12 year-old daughter's birthday. On my break at work I texted her how much I loved her and happy birthday. She replied with, "K, when will you be home? Mom won't let me open presents until you're here." Good to know I'm loved. FML

When I was 12, I had my first phone -_- but it was for practical reasons since the middle school was kind of far. Anyways but I was never spoiled, cause if I was my parents wouldn't have it (Asians :D ) I think it all depends on how well the parents raise their kids. Besides, why compare 2 different ages? :/ Ok, so back then the cool things were DS's and portable cd players and all that stuff. Now it's just cellphones, touch screen innovation and the best-new technology. It's just what we grow up with and around to. But I do agree, there's always that kid that takes things for granted. But as for OP, hope she'll grow up and show some respect because I don't think it's hit her yet how one day, there'll be a birthday where you won't even be there anymore :(

Awwww, she does love you, she's just got a one-track mind right now. I still talk to my daddy that way and I'm turning 23 next month. But I do it specifically to be obnoxious.

YDI for giving an 11 y/o a phone

You are loved... Especially when you get home so the spoiled brat can open her damn presents!

If today is her birthday... Then she is not a "soon to be 12 year old".... She's 12.

Man up you pansy, like a 12 year old understands the concept of appreciation.

Well you should have hurried up and got home.lol

Sorry but your daughter sounds like a spoiled brat. It was probably your paycheck that bought her all those presents that she's complaining about not being able to open until you return home from your job that paid for them. You should give her a book about attitude adjustments.

Kids will be kids. I'm sure everyone commenting on how rude she was and that she's a spoiled brat was always perfectly kind to their parents when they were 12.
