I want to move into my sister's room, when she leaves for college...BUT I have a stubborn brother. PLZ HELP

Question

My sister is going off to college in about 3 weeks or so... I live in New Jersey, and she's going to Florida. So, I need good ideas to persuade my parents to let me move into her room. It's bigger, has wood floors, and two windows. I DO have a younger brother, he's 12... and I'm 15. He's a jerk... and is complaining how he has the smallest room, and that he should take her room. I'm older, get better grades, have more clothes/stuff... plz help me persuade them to let me have her room. (I need ideas)

Answer 1

Tell him he should let you have it for the next few years and then when you leave for college he gets it.  

Answer 2

Tell your parents all of your reasons for why you deserve it more; Offer your room to your brother.

Answer 3

tell them that you are older and feel that you should get the biggest room and that he can take your middle room...tell them that you will do extra chores for 2 weeks and maintain certain grades

Answer 4

he gets a bigger room since yours bigger (it become vacant when you move to hers), this is what fair, she got it as oldest, now its your turn to have it a couple years, and he can have it when you move off to college

you got more need for it as you mature and host friends with bigger need to privacy inside then him

Answer 5

First of all, ask your sister about it. Then, try to talk to your parents, and point out that you'll only have about 3 years in the room until you move off to college, and also offer your room to your younger brother - he gets a bigger room, you get a bigger room, everyone's happy.

Answer 6

You're older. You get first dibs, unless you want to relinquish it to your little brother. In this case, you don't, so tough luck for him.  What does he need a bigger room for, anyways? You're the one almost reaching adolescence, not him.  

Answer 7

Try making your brother want your room more than he wants your sisters room, try to make your room seem better than your sisters. That way he'll want your room more than your sisters' and you'll get her room !!!

Answer 8

first off talk to ur sister. i am the oldest and when i moved into the dorms of college my freshman year my sister asked if she could have my room.. my parents and i both pointed out that i am not living in the dorms forever.. school vacation, summer break, graduation etc. i need somewhere to stay when i come home (it is still MY room even if im not there 24-7) and ill be damned if when im home for break if im sleeping in the guest room... u might want to take that into consideration..shes not gone permenatly.  talk to her.. if she says it is ok then go to ur parents and say that u talked to her and she is ok with it and ask if they would have any problems with u moving into her room. if they say no right off the bat dont fly off the handle and throw a fit (makes u look like an immature brat) calmly take into consideration their reasons and wait a week or so and ask again, politely, if there is anything u can do to change their minds about it.. if they say yes then go from there.. if they say no then let it go...good luck
