[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is turning thirteen. For over a month, never mind other reminders throughout the year, she goes on and on. I can take it anymore. I told her if she doesn’t button it and calm down, she will get less presents. If it were up to me she would only get 1 big gif, couple other little gifts.  Her father spoils her.  I gave her a break because she’s turning thirteen. She has ADHD, no real friends.  I had to drum up people for a birthday party...  Anyone with kids like this?  I am so low key about things, I can’t relate.

It just doesn’t seem normal to me, DD practically wants me to cater to her a whole week of her birthday.[/quote]

Is it just this upcoming birthday, or has it been previous birthdays as well?

I don't know, a kid becoming an official teenager, in COVID, and doesn't have real friends to start with?  I think I'd make a big deal of it for her...and yes, for the whole week.

When she's an adult, she'll remember the year her mom made her birthday, in a pandemic, in middle school which can be is tough on a good day, extra special.

Happy Birthday to your DD!  I have a DD turning 13 in a few weeks. [/quote]
