Gratitude walks

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.

You're being WAY too emo about this. It seems like a completely innocuous text by a girl who's excited about presents, just like all kids are. I see nothing that indicates disrespect or lack of love.

She could have at least said thank you. Her response was rude and selfish.

How was it rude? She was excited. She never said get the **** home I don't care what you have to say. You never know, maybe she told him she loved him when he got home.

Ok, let me ask you this... When you turned 12, what were you more looking forward to: messages from your parents telling you they loved you, or colorful wrapped gifts filled with items you've been waiting for? ...Yeah, that's what I thought.

What the hell are you talking about? His comment did nothing to insinuate that he's a "snobby brat". Shut up. You sound like an idiot

I agree that Calleco is a major moron since he can't spell "YOU" and "YOUR".

Like it's THAT big of an age difference. This is OP's FML, nobody cares how old you were when you got your first cell phone.

O. F. M. G. That's a huge ******* age difference. Please note: To be read in a British accent, with heavy sarcasm.

I did at 10, mine was a crap prepaid, antenna phone. Doesn't mean she's spoiled or has issues. It's a way of contact
