13 yo daughter’s bday party

[Anonymous]

We’re taking a group of kids to dinner and that’s it. Omg you all with the craft parties — my dd would die at those suggestions. We don’t have a house big enough for that anyhow. We might bring them to the house for a movie until they get picked up, not sure yet….I’ve found that more 6-7 kids in my house at a time creates havoc and we’re taking about 12 out to eat, so we’ll see….

Why can’t they roam the neighborhood? Last year for 13 my daughter and her friend planned the party. It sounded strange to us but we had strict orders to stay out of their way. They wanted to stay in the garage (not even our finished basement), listen to music, eat food and yes, they ended up roaming the neighborhood. She gave us a shopping list of food to buy. I think they walked around and made tik toks. She said they had a great time.

This year for 14 they plan on going to the mall and going out to dinner.

Yeah, I would be not thrilled if my 13 year old went to a party where the parents were encouraging posting tiktok dances wtf.

This obsession of turning your CHILDREN into adults at 9-10 is so wrong.

Keep up, this thread is about 13 year olds not 9-10 year olds. Your obsession with teenagers remaining in a child like state is creepy and gives pedo vibes.

No its way worse to have kids grow up too fast. 13 year olds are kids and should act like it.

We're creepy because we want our kids to be kids? That's a new one.

You are creepy because you pop up in every thread about teen girls specifically talking about how they need to stay “kids”, even when what is being discussed is age and developmentally appropriate. There is definitely something off about not understanding that a teenager is going to trend toward more adult interests/styles, etc. than an elementary school aged child.

Oh the horror that I want my kid to act like a kid and not automatically jump to teen like or adult like interests. Are you saying that there is something wrong with kids/ young teens who still have kid interests?

Are you saying there’s something wrong with kids who aren’t exactly like yours?

I actually don’t think you have tween/teen girls, you just like to troll on DCUM about how they should stay “kids”. Your posting style is distinct and you are all over threads related to tween/teen girls repeating your mantra that they should stay “kids”. And yes, as the parent of actual tween/teen girls, I find that creepy AF.

No, not at all. But, there seems to be this assumption that there is something wrong with kids who stay kids longer especially here on dcum.

As long as they want to. If they don’t want to play patty cake at a birthday party then that’s fine too. It’s ok to let them grow up and be their own person, not who you want them to be.

It depends on what they want to do and what those adult like interests happen to be. And we really need to stop equating kids being kids to them acting like they're 3. Plenty of ways for older kids to be kids.
