She humorously captioned the photo with the words, 'The days of 'you can't straighten your hair!' are over!!' along with emojis to convey her exasperation and the hashtag '#MommyGivesIn'.
Similarly, Nick Cannon, Carey's ex-husband and father of Monroe and Moroccan, also shared his astonishment at the twins turning 13 soon.
