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.

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?

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.

Nope, must be someone else. But, I do stand by kids should be kids as long as they can

🙄 Sure it’s not you. “Kids should be kids” is your generic mantra that never acknowledges that childhood is a spectrum. A 6 year old is different from a 10 year old who is different from a 14 year old. But since you’re a troll you never engage past your mantra.

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.

And many ways have been suggested in here except for your crayons and construction paper. You’re the one out of step. The vast majority of the suggestions are age appropriate.

1. Take them to a mall and have them break up into 2 or groups of 3 min and let them roam for 2 hrs. Have them do a sit down dinner but you'd need to pay so maybe pizza or something cheap? Done.

2. Take them to Dave and Busters - 2 hrs. Eat. Done.

3. Take them to a long ass movie but again you need to pay so find a matinee and then food.

4. Escape room but pricey.

5. Roller/Ice skating then dinner.


I repeat - you do NOT want 10 13 yr old girls in your home for 4 hrs. From one mom to another

Agreed!

Bowling is less expensive. Or an escape room or anything. Worth the expense IMO.

Same. I have a 13yo and a 16yo.

The 16yo has TikTok, but definitely not the 13yo.

Of course kids should be kids, I don't know why anyone would debate that or disagree. And yes, there are differences and stages in childhood, but there is also such a thing as kids growing up too fast or acting older than they should.

Who would argue or disagree with kids being kids? Of course there is stages too childhood, but there is also such as thing as kids growing up too fast or acting older than they should. Not sure why you don't see that.

What are you objecting to in this thread? Going out to eat is too grown up? Making bracelets? Tie dying shirts? Scavenger hunts? Dave & Busters? What are you even talking about? Nobody is suggesting doing shots at a bar, going on a group date, getting Botox, tattoos, etc. What is too adult in here?

Nothing is too adult, but suggesting fortnite and tiktok at 13 is not what I'd want my kids to be doing. Also, there was a poster making fun of teens acting child like or child like suggestions.

So dancing and video games are too adult? That’s a pretty short list considering how many pages this thread is and how many times it’s been repeated that kids should just be kids and almost all the suggestions are totally appropriate. You’re like a hammer looking for a nail.

Awww look at your obvious sock puppeting of the post right before this.

I’m not one of the posters in the back and forth argument but chiming in to say that most 13 year olds, outside of DCUM of course, have TikTok. This isn’t exactly a crazy adult or teen thing to suggest at a hangout for 13 year old middle schoolers.

Suggesting construction paper and crayons for teens is patently absurd. Other than that there has not been an age inappropriate suggestion. You may not like TikTok or Fortnite but it’s beyond naive (or just your perspective based on not actually having teens) to think those aren’t things the majority of 13 year olds use.

Not to mention nobody even mentioned Fortnite in here until the PP brought it up. They have no legit gripe in here so they’re making things up to fit the narrative they want that kids are acting “too adult” even though nobody suggested any actual adult activities.

My daughter and her teen friends love getting together and craft. They do all sorts of things like jewelery making and origami and the like.

If you want your kid to act more "mature" at only 13, go ahead, but I'm going to let my kid act like a kid and enjoy their childhood.
