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.

Just wait until the teen years.

And this is one of the kids that wasn't disciplined enough as a child... Asshole.

Am I the only one thinking "why does an 11 year old kid have a cell phone?"

I am too. No 12 year old should have a cell period, end of story.

Iave to agree with some of the commenters. I'm fully aware that half of my generation is crap, BUT SHE'S ******* 12 YEARS OLD!!!!! A 12 year old in her birthday is mostly going to focus on presents, cake, the party, games, all the fun stuff in a birthday party. If you're comoaring her to the rest of my generation then you are full of crap. Don't you remember when it was you birthday when you where young? The text message was a bit uncalled for, but chances are she's got those crappy prepaid phones.

Where the hell did comoaring came from? *comparing ** I have Damn it...

Wow, everyone is calling OP a bad parent and the daughter greedy... I acted like this during my early teens, afraid of telling my parents I love them, yet I was raised by loving parents - I'm now the opposite. Give OP a break!

Am I the only one who caught on to her 12 year old daughter having a cell phone? .. what has the world come to?! when I was 12 all I cared about was my barbies and hula hoop.

Cell phones weren't big then, babies were. See the connection. Cell phones are big now, barbara were big then.

#102 I love it when people don't bother reading the previous comments and then say stuff like "Am I the only one thinking blah blah blah" when it's already been said a dozen of times... Well 102, if you had actually read what other people wrote, you would realize that no, you're not the only one...

It's a new generation. I got mine when I was nine.. It was a crappy one but still. Big deal.
