Sometimes age doesn't matter; it's whether or not you're still young at heart.
Mariah Carey goes out of her way every year to celebrate the holidays and shares her adventures on Instagram for her fans to enjoy, too.
But now that her twin children, Moroccan (Rocky) and Monroe (Roe) are 13, they have some things to say about how their mom celebrates the holidays.
This year for Easter, the 56-year-old singer, songwriter, and mom wore a pink outfit with hot pink slippers to greet the Easter Bunny, who showed up at their home.
In a post she shared on Instagram the Monday after, three photos feature Carey's outfit and her interactions with the Easter Bunny. One photo is a family picture of Carey standing together with Rocky, Roe, and the Easter Bunny, and the final picture is of Roe and Rocky opening gifts, likely after some kind of Easter egg hunt.
The 13-year-olds, coparented by Nick Cannon, put on happy faces for the photographs, but it didn't look like they were having the greatest time.

When Carey posted the photos, Roe couldn't contain her feelings any longer:
"OMG, DELETE IT."

Rocky expressed similar feelings, asking his mother:
"Why do you do this to me, Mom?"

Most fans were too preoccupied with the post to notice the twins' comments, commenting instead on Carey's outfit and being a fun mom.

It's important to have fun for the holidays and to make great memories with the kids in your life, who only get to experience the holidays from the perspective of being young once.
That said, it's important also to remember that the kids are people, too, and may not want to participate in certain activities, take photographs, or be posted online, at least without being blurred out first.
It seems that these comments were likely in good fun and joking around with their mom, who frequently comments about how close and kindred they all are, but it's a balancing act for sure!
