Gratitude walks

By Anonymous - 30/11/2011 19:55 - United States

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.

Pretty sure she trying to tell you that you have time to stop by a bar, get completely wasted, get a glory hole BJ, then stumble home and tell everyone that you don't want to hear their shit and to **** off, because you had a busy day.

Hold on. WHY does a 12 year old have a cell phone?! What is happening to the world? There should be a law that you actually need a license in order to have a cell phone.

No, it's called communication!! I had one at 10, it wasn't a good one. And it was only for communication. Op never said his daughter had a freaking iphone

Who cares if it's an iPhone. At least her parents know where their daughter is. So yes , communication is essential.

A lot of people don't have land land home phones.. So kids get cell phones young.. Not something to get mad about.

How?! She's 12, it's her birthday! She wanted presents! She never said you need to get home now. She didn't start opening them without her dad. She waited, she's a child and excited for her birthday!

her having a cell phone at that age says nothing about her, you don't know if she got it for communication or even paid for it herself. Everyones saying she is spoiled and having a phone at 12 is kinda stupid because you don't know her, neither do I so maybe she could be spoiled and shit but stilllllll!

She seems spoiled and ungrateful...But at the same time, you probably raised her that way.

This is exactly what I thought. If you read it the exact way it is written, it implies that it is his "soon to be" daughter. If he meant that his daughter was soon to be 12, and also put that it is her birthday, then he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. She's already 12 if today is her birthday.
