How do you convince your mom to get you an expensive game, $170.00?

Question

ROCKBAND

Answer 1

Tell her that rockband is good for you, you will be so occupied with it you won't have time for drugs, alcahol and other dangorous things :-)

Answer 2

Get good grades in school and do A LOT of help around the house for some pay.  Do this for a few weeks and she'll see that you deserve something in return.  Use the money you earn to help pay for the game, that way it'll seem that she's not actually paying the entire $170 at one time.  Maybe work until you get $120 or more... and then when you do go to get the game she'll only have to pay like $40 or $50.

With this... it will also help you learn responsibility, how to do chores when you're on your own, and the importance of money.. $170 is  A LOT for a toy man... there's also tax which you gotta consider.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Tell her that this gift will  take the place of the gifts of your next birthday and/or Christmas, and that you want it now and can't wait until then because the game will get outdated and you want to play it now, anyhow.

Answer 8

beg on your hands and knees? XD i dunno, ive never been in that situation myself but im sure you can win her over

Answer 9

tell her you'll pay for some of it, and on top of that, you'll do house work. you'll pay ten, twenty dollars of it, and every now and then vacuume.  it will work.

BUT FIRST BE NICE TO HER FOR A MONTH +

Answer 10

Does she have any big projects that need done around the house???? That would be a good start.. If you dont have chores to do maybe you should offer to start doing them.

These are hard times for parents money wise. Gas prices have soared over double what they were 4 years ago. And along with that everything else has gone up (groceries, utilities, ect.).

$170 may be alot bigger deal to her now compared to a year or two ago. Just telling you to be sympathetic to your mothers needs and it will help you with your goals.

I am child myself, inside a 36 year old fathers (of six) body. I feel your pain, there are things we all want that arent necessities.

These things are alot harder to get now in todays economy and we are all having to make concessions.

Do things around the house to help your mom, show her you are there to help. Maybe it will help you get your game, maybe not. At the very least you will have her love and respect.

Not trying to be preachy just telling you how it is.

Good Luck

Answer 11

Well don't talk to her about it a lot just drop the subject a while, and then after about 2-3 weeks after being a total suck-up ask her about it. She might of noticed how much u helped out, and then consider it
