“Why can’t kids just be kids anymore? My 13-year-old daughter gave me her birthday wish list, and I’m having a hard time understanding most of the things on it. When I was 13, I wanted simple things like a music player and a new pair of jeans. But look at her list!
- Victoria’s Secret set – $80
- Eyelash extensions – $20
- Hair extensions – ??
- Acrylic nails appointment – $60
- Lululemon outfit, Dyson AirWrap
What’s happening with this generation? I still want to make my daughter happy on her birthday, but how do I get her things like fake nails, hair extensions, and eyelash treatments without turning her into a TikTok doll? I want to make her happy, but how can I do it in a way that still feels right for a 13-year-old girl?”
