How can I covince my parents to get me a hamster? Please help!?

Question

Ok I really want a syrian hamster but my parents said no... so does anyone have any ideas on convincing my parents? Please help!!!

Answer 1

Prove that you're responsible, by doing your chores and getting at least a B- in school.  Maybe even offer to pay for half of the hamster and supplies.  Good luck, and I hope you get your hamster!

P.S.

I got my hamster because I babysat a friend's hamster, and I took great care of him.  My parents saw I was willing, and ready, to take care of my own hamster.  Ask a friend if you could "borrow" their hamster for a couple days.  Maybe after that approach your parents again and see what they have to say.  If you're afraid you'll get in trouble, have your friend there to back you up and talk to your parents about their experience with their hamster.  (Parents seem to not get as mad when other people are around.)

Good Luck!  Again!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Well for starters, how about trying the following:

#1 Cleaning your room and making sure that it STAYS clean and tidy.

#2 Making sure that your homework is done and handed in on time.

#3 Sweep the floors in the living room and kitchen without your parents asking you to.

#4 Wash and/or dry the dishes.

#5 Do not fight and argue with your sisters & brothers.

#6 Eat what you are given and don't whine or make "yuck" faces when given it.

#7 Don't talk rudly to adults

#8 Always share with other kids.

#9 Go to bed when you are told to.

#10 Research the pet and breed you want to be 100% certain that it is the right one for you.

# 11 Ask them about getting this new pet in a nice way and don't beg and whine about it.

If 100% sure that if you give those a try, they will see that you are serious about wanting to add a this pet to your life and family. :)
