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.

I don't approve of 12 year olds having phones, but that's just me. Be glad she's not a 16 year old saying "k, when will you be home? Mom said I can't leave for my boyfriends house until youre home"

Actually 119, you kinda sound like a mainstream dumbass, you're the one that knows what all the "cool kids" are watching these days.

She loves you, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered taking the time to text back! Got to remember she's 12. Most kids have a one track mind on their birthday; pressies, party, cake!!

Don't go home. Say you have a "meeting" then tell your wife not to let her open anything, your "meeting" is at your favorite restaurant - and she should drop your daughter off with someone and join you. Get home late.

Well if you raised her to be a little princess YDI. My sister is significantly older than I am and had the only child syndrome going on, my parents spoiled her like you wouldn't believe. Now she sits on her ass all day without a job or life and we kind of all just ignore her, lol.
