Answer 1

You want more of your parents money, provide more work to earn it.

Offer to do all the laundry for everyone in the house for a couple of months, without excuses or complaints. This includes ironing. OR

offer to clean the house, vacuum, dust, clean surfaces, bathrooms, and kitchen, excludes parent's and siblings rooms.

You do the common living spaces and your bedroom for two months.

You can sit down with your parents and work something out.

Money for nothing isn't good for you or your parents. Earn it. If you are old enough, babysit other people's children for extra cash.

Answer 2

Have you discussed this with them?

What chores do you do? How do you make your allowance?

Can you do more chores to earn more money?

Email me if you need more.

Answer 3

Just tell him/her that you understand their not made of money, but you feel as though you're being denied/punished for existing!.The desires or needs you have right now, are nothing compared to what the cost will be when you  get older.!! Your request of a $5,$10, a week raise in your allowance isn' out of line with reality..you just gotta wait and and get them to give you the raise first,save the money and then buy it when you've got enough saved sorry buddy...

Answer 4

Ask your parents if you can sell some of your old "toys" on craiglist.com  to help you buy a new ipod.  Ask them to help you with it if they are computer savvy.  Sell a cd Discman or a radio or maybe your pet cat. Just make sure you get their permission first.

Answer 5

I would say wait the 3 months, but that is probably not what you want to hear. I doubt your parents will raise your allowence, however you may be able to earn some more $ from them. Tell your parents what you want and see if they will allow you to do some extra projects to earn the cash. Help clean out the garage, or paint a room to earn some extra $. Your parents will applaud your effort and you can get what you want too.
