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.

take it from a woman that just finished the teen-ager stage. if anything happened to you, shed be beside herself. I didn't get along with my dad either, but I love him. I'd be lost without my dad.

Your 11 soon to be 12 year old daughter has a phone? wtf?!?

Does no one else think that 12 is really young to have a cell phone??

I would respect you if I were her, some people don't have a loving, caring dad.

Well, Op, it's certainly your choice to buy your daughter a cellphone or not. Her attitude towards you is not the best. I bought my daughter a pager when she was in 7th grade (didn't have cellphones at that time). Next time she wants you to buy her something, tell her to pay you back for it.
