How do i convince my dad to get a trampoline??

Question

Ok well my dad is usually all right at letting my mum and me have stuff after a while of asking nicely (i'm not spoilt) and we recently moved from a flat to an actual house where we've got our own garden. So i've been trying for about 2 months to talk him into it but hes really stuck on it. I even said I'd half the cost with him. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Set him up with one of your hot friends.

Answer 2

Tell him you will run away if he doesn't buy you one.

Answer 3

Tell him how trampolining has many health benefits and does not damage your joints like other exercises.  

Answer 4

Throw him out of the bedroom window. He'll soon buy one & he'll keep coming back for more.

Answer 5

when i wanted one i asked my dad if i could have one for my birthday, i didn't nag i just told him id love a trampoline. just be nicer to him he'll come round to it. goodluck :)

Answer 6

pout haha

its been the same with me, ive wanted a trampoline for 2 years because im a gymnast and he wont crack, but he cracked 2 days after i bugged him for a macbook, i just dont get it haha

Answer 7

UR dad is worried about ur safety.My dad will not let me have one either

even if i paid for it!

Answer 8

I'd say skip this acquisition. I was paralyzed once for six months; everyone else in the ward was paralyzed for life. It is * not * fun.

Answer 9

I have a trampoline they are really good because I don't exercise LOL lazy me but anyway when I watching tv and it is a boring day I go for a jump outside.

Makes me go outside more than being stuck inside.

So maybe just say to your dad that it's good exercise and it's better to go get some fresh air. (:

Answer 10

Tell him that if you don’t get the trampoline, you will fall into a terrible state of disparaging misery that will make you depressed to the point where you can’t eat anything but water so you will become sick and tired due to malnutrition and your grades at school will plunge down to the F- level  so all your friends will leave you, thinking that you have the “dummy disease” and if they catch it they will end up looking dumb and you will spend the rest of your life in isolated exilement on a lonely island off the coast of French Indonesia while being constantly attacked by the native cannibals that happen to inhabit the island all because your dad didn’t buy you a trampoline.

The end. :)

Answer 11

you never know, your dad is probably planning on buying it for your birthday or christmas. just wait

Answer 12

I have the same problem! We have a big enough garden for a trampoline, my Mum is fine about it and is willing to get me one but she cannot convince my dad! He is worried about safety and to be fair, they are pretty dangerous. They are also really FUN!

Answer 13

THIS IS A CLASSIC USE TO WORK FOR ME WEN I WANTED SOMETHING. WAT U DO IS ASK HIM 1 MORE TIME CAN HE GET IT HE SAYS NO ( of course) SO THEN U GO INTO UR ROOM AND JUST STAY THERE EITHER CRYING DESPERATE OR MISERABLE. IM A GUY SO I JUST ACT MAD AND WONT GET OUT OF MY ROOM. THEN AFTER THAT HE WILL FEEL BAD SO EVENTUALLY HE WILL CRACK SEEING HIS OWN CHILD SAD. WHEN HE KNOCKS IN UR BEDROOM DOOR AND HE WILL FINALLY SAY YES COME OUT AND SAY VERRY SAD WITH A TEAR THANK YOU. (USE TO WORK FOR ME BUT MY PARENTS GOT ME).

Answer 14

You have to prove that you will actually use it. He won't buy it unless he knows you are willing to use it regularly, and take care of it.

My sister begged my parents for one a few years ago, used it a couple times, and hasn't used it in the past 3 years. So we have a $250 toy sitting in our yard.
