Approach it calmly with well documented reasons why you should recieve more than your siblings. Keep a record of what you do for a week and present the facts. Try not to be overly emotional, just explain your reasons and ask that they take it under consideration.

Answer 3

             good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

talk to your parents is the only way i know of.

Answer 5

ask or do more chores and ask  

Answer 6

Write up a list of the chores that you do.

Then write up a list of the things that you spend your money on.

Be sure to put 20% of your allowance away for a rainy day.  (Really!  I mean really do that!)  Your parents will be impressed with how you are handling your/their money and most likely will not mind giving you extra dollars for your efforts.

Now sit your parents down and go over your lists with them.  Tell them that you don't mind working for your money, but that you are 13 now and you do find it necessary to have spending money.  Show them your list of your weekly expenses to back yourself up.

However, if they say that they can't do anything right now, listen to them!  You might not realize it but the economy is quite a mess with no relief in sight, food prices are rising weekly and gasoline is ridiculously high.  If your parents feel that they cannot lay out anymore money at this time, be gracious & understanding.  Show that that you are mature and you will be rewarded as soon as you it's feasible.

Answer 7

talk to your parents and say you do more chores and your an hard worker

Answer 8

Kindly explain to your parents why you believe that you should get more allowance than your 8 year old brother. Especially if you do twice as many chores. Try to come up with a deal on the increase of allowance money. I personally believe that with older age, more allowance is acceptable.

Answer 9

Ask your parents

Tell them that you do twice as many chores

and say its unfair.
