Today, I was at a restaurant with my kids. I told my 13 year old about how the very first time she said she loved me. She was 2 and it was at this very restaurant. I told her the details and even started tearing up a little. She didn't even look up from her cell phone and said, "That's fab, ma." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter said "I love you mom", to me for the first time I can remember. She is 16 years old. She said it because I bought her first thong. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were talking about times we'd made our mothers cry. She said she'd only made her mother cry once. When I asked when, she said, "When I told her I was thinking about dating you." FML
Today, I told my mom, "I love you". She responded with, "What? I never told you I loved you." FML
Today, I kissed my husband and said, "I love you." That's when our 5 year-old son said to my husband, "How can you love her so much if she's so ugly?" FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her a lot. Her reply? "Thanks." FML
Today, I told my girlfriend I love her for the first time. She said, "Thanks." FML
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
Today, my boyfriend said, "One day I'll tell my children how I met you. I mean, our children." It's pretty cute, except for the fact that we're 17 and have been dating for only two weeks. FML
Today, I asked my kids how much they loved me. My seven year-old responded, 'I'll love you forever mummy.' My sixteen year-old responded, 'Can you wind down the window, I just farted.' FML
Today, I told my daughter that she should put some love into her cooking. She started kissing the ingredients. FML

I'm only a year older than OP's daughter, and I would have probably gushed all about it! :') Am I the only one who loves hearing stories about their childhood?

I didn't get my first cell phone until I was 13, and I shared that one with my brother. It was only for emergencies. I'm 19 now and I have my own phone with texting, but every time I leave college to visit home there are no phones allowed at the table. And if my mom told that story to me while tearing up I'm pretty sure I'd start crying too. I've just always been that way.

Kids say, "That's fab, ma"? That phrase sounds very 80s.

Right, because there are no responsible teens out there. *Please don't start with the Gen. Y bashing, there are some responsible teens out there.

Why does your 13 year old have a cell phone anyways? Who she gonna call? Dora because she cant find her way home? This generation is way to reliable on technology..

OP sounds overly emotional.

You sound like a stereotypical "macho man".

What conceivable reason is there for a thirteen year old to have a phone in the first place? I mean honestly. It's not like she's driving to work. Or paying bills. Or anything difficult. Tell her she needs to get a job, pay her bills and then she can say "that's fab, ma" to your story.-and get rid of her phone. It's rude to txt while on a family outing, or dinner. And she's to young for a phone. And people complain about THIER children, look at how they are being raised. :(

Why would you need a phone to drive or pay bills? I mean honestly.

Bc. If she's paying her bills she can pay for the damn phone. And if she is driving around her parents can track her since she has a phone, then she can't go around and act like a ****.

Teenagers... I hope she won't be looking on her phone when she learns to drive.
