Answer 1

idk what you should do im not calling you a spooiled brat i feel just the same way bout my bro , but be happy with wat you got and eventually yooll get a dirt bike i want one too lol. so just be calm bout it and whhen your sibling is older and she relies on her paronts for money and junk then you can be glad that you didnt turn out that way and you know how to save and spend money

Answer 2

Wow, you sound like such a brat. My guess is you both get way more than any other kids your age that are you friends. Stop keeping score on the value of the gifts. How about asking if there is anything you can do to help around the house? Parents always like that. Try being a better kid and stop this silly comparison with your sister. There will be times when you get more and she gets less. I think you have probably left out those items.  

Answer 3

put your self in her shoes.

Answer 4

Why are you adding the totals up? Seems to me you should simply appreciate that your parents are as generous with the both of you to the degree they are. This isn't about what you sister gets and what you get, it's about your desire for a dirt bike and your parents decision that it's not currently appropriate. You don't want us to point out how even you obviously know your behaving. Maybe you ungratefulness and selfish nature is one of the reasons your parents are hesitant to buy you this bike. The best way to convince your parents is to show some maturity and consideration for everything they do for you. Maybe start trying to earn some money for yourself (lawn work, babysitting or paper routes in your town) and then speak to them about sharing the cost of a new bike. Showing some ingenuity and willingness to work for your own things will help convince them that your showing the intelligence and maturity needed to trust you with having such a possibly dangerous toy.

Answer 5

you just sound like you want more attention, more money spent on YOU and more items then she has. i think you're being alittle selfish. but if you this really bothers you and you want more little kiddy toys, then talk to your parents about it. ask them why do they buy your sister more stuff but wont but wont equally buy the both of you things. and don't forget, your parents have bills to pay. no child understands that.

Answer 6

Sorry, but you are both more spoiled than you know.  Go see what poor people deal with.  I am not trying to be mean, just honest.

If you want more things than wait until your old enough to get a job.  Then you can buy whatever you want.  Sometimes parents are not fair.  But life is not fair either.  

Answer 7

Hi Jay, I have a son the same age as you, so I think I get where you are coming from. In fact he only told me tonight his siter gets better treatment than he does. I felt really bad that he thought that, I really thought I was treating them the same. But, he came to me and explained (and yelled some unfortunately) of his feelings and I think he did the right thing. I wasn't aware how he was feeling, maybe your parents aren't either. Try and talk with them, without loosing your temper, and let them know how you feel. It is important to think through what you want to say carefully before you approach them or it could backfire terribly. And deffinately DON'T make it about the bike, you'll loose before you start, try the humanitarian approach, equality, fairness et. Mind you though, you already know you and your sister have it much better than most kids, so also ask yourself is it worth it? My kids would give anything to have half what you mentioned you guys have, but we can't afford it. Material possessions really don't mean much, it's the love and support of family that gets you through ife. I wish you all the best though, you sound like a great young man.

Sorry can't help you with what to say, I don't know you parents. Have a think back on times in the past where they have listened to what you've had to say, how did you approach it then? How does your sister approach them? Be clever, think it through, but most importantly stay calm, an angry confrontation will not get you anywhere. I know this is hard, but pick your time well, when everyone is in a good mood and you have a better chance. Good luck :)

Answer 8

O.k from this I'm guessing your a guy. So the reason I think your sis is getting more is because she's a girl and because she's younger than you, sounds weird I know but it happens in a few family, mine included. I probably get more than my older bro, and my younger sister probably gets more than me.

I think it's probably one of these things your just going to have to accept.

Sorry! But that's life.

Answer 9
