My baby girl turned 13 today...I can't believe it! My son will be 19 in a few months but having a teenage daughter seems different in some way...Any of you "experienced" parents have any advice?

Does your daughter ask for a cell phone everyday? UGH! Mine is driving me nuts. She has her own home phone and phone number, laptop with internet, cable TV, and it just isn't enough.

She ain't getting a cell phone.

She already has one...It's amazing to watch those little fingers text so quickly...It just seems harder to let her grow up than it was with my son...Maybe it's just me realizing I'm getting older.

I saw a sign in a persons yard the other day "whatever you plan on doing with my daughter, you will do to her daddy first".

My husband has said that a few times......
I've put some fear in boys that visited our home myself! Of course, when I told them I had a .38 and I knew how to use it may have helped!

Kids don't just talk on the phone, though... in fact they MOSTLY text message each other. (Yes, I gave my daughter a cell phone at 14)

I gave my son one at 7. A tracfone. He's already done with it.
My daughter wants one now... and she's 5 going on 13.
I do have a benefit of living in a dead zone so it's dead 99% of the time.

My daughter got one at 13. It is the pre-paid one. SO if your time is up before the card is up SO SORRY!

It works even better when you show them the gun and your last practice target espcially when all shots are dead center. Yes I did do this and it was my target.
