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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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'm 13 and I have an iPod and I would DEFFIANATLY care!! I never see my mom because my parents split up! OP's daughter should show a little respect because if she was an orphan in a couple days, she'd feel like crap not realizing the love and telling OP. how much she loved her

No one to blame but yourself(as the parent)

That is so sweet of you mumma :) Unfortunately not all kids are self influence :( Don't worry, one day she will realise how lucky she is to have a mother like you. :)

Why does she have a cell phone? Why do you (the parent) allow her (the child) to behave in such a way. Step up and take responsibility.

You did that to yourself by allowing her to have her phone at the table and be using if at dinner. YOU are the parent. Set expectations and enforce them instead of playing victim. She's acting like that bc you allow it.

That's much better than most kids these days would say

I love how everyone is asking "why does a 13 year old have a cell phone?" and saying "you should take her phone away!" I bet if OP did take the phone away, she'd be having a panic attack 5 minutes after her daugher left the house next time. THATS why kids have cell phones. Also, I know this might get me thumbed down, but OP sounds WAY too over-sensitive. My mom would do stuff like that to me too (she still does evertime she gets the chance), and when i was a teenager, I'd just shrug it off and she didn't care. It's just a teen being a teen. It was gonna happen sooner or later, you daughter is starting to grow up.
