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.

You deserve it. No 11 year old, or 12 year old really, should have a cell phone.

I got a cell phone 3 weeks before I turned 13 and I couldn't do anything on it except call people.

I didn't get a phone till I was 16. YDI, OP, for being a dumb father who gives their little shit a phone before they know the value of life.

What does "soon to be 12" bday mean? Did she just turn 12 today, so she is NOW 12 or is she just turned 11, I am sooo confused. Anyone else get this?

if today is her birthday, isn't she 12 already? just a thought, but happy birthday to her! :)

U screwed as a parent then cuz I'm 13 and I would NEVER do that to my parents.
