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

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. :)

She's a teenager dont worry about it it's normal...

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.
