How do I convince mom to let me withdraw from my bank account?

Question

I decided to wait for my allowance ($20 a month) then withdraw $40 from the bank. I wanted to get an IM-Me. I was acting funny about it but she knew I was serious. I told her as soon as I make $40, I would put it back in the bank. How do I convince her? How do I show her I'm responsible? I want to show her my plan. I can tell it wasn't a final 'no' so I still have a chance. Though she didn't exactly, right out say no. Just all the c**p about saving money. I didn't ask her for money or raise on my allowance, just if I could get some money from my bank account. I have $558 in all, and this is the first time I asked her this question to withdraw. Please help!

Answer 1

Why not just save up and buy it with your allowance?  Or do some extra work for money?  Mow lawns, babysit, etc.

Answer 2

Rick B has the right answer.  If you want to convince your mom that you're responsible, then show her that you are by finding a way to make the money instead of taking it out of your savings account.

Answer 3

Make sure she is taking you serious. Also try to show her this IM-Me is worth the $40 dollars. Parents don't like there kids to buy things because in 2 weeks your done with it. Try to get some extra money on the side. You could also try to see if she would let you take $5 to $10 a week from your allowance and put it towards you IM-Me, this way your not touching your savings.
