Answer 8

What's the question? i don't get it sorry.

Answer 9

I don't know what Hollister is.  You are saying you always get clothes from Hollister (but not this time???!).  Maybe your mother thinks you're becoming a spoiled brat and it's time that you realize it's not the labels that make a person but the character and maturity they show.

Anyway, you're 13 and at that age, I think most girls think their mothers are idiots.

If she's a smart mom, she'll tell you that doing the housework you do doesn't entitle you to Hollister clothes.  The housework is your share of what it takes to keep the family and household running in good shape.  All kids need to contribute and it's not tied to a monetary reward.  It's called doing your share.

The fact that you do help out at home and you're such a great student means that she'll be proud of you, and less stressed about what you'll make of yourself in the years to come...so keep up the good work.

Answer 10

Ask your father?

Also yes you are spoilt, when i was 13 we never even had cell phones or PC's so please.

I also wore what i was given, i had no choice. Kids these days have everything on a plate. when you earn the money of the household then you can do what you please.

Answer 11

First of all, your not going to anything you want by acting spoiled and selfish. Sometimes there are bigger things at hand than clothes, your mom is a doctor, she's already got a lot on her plate and i'm sure there is a specific reason why she can't take you. Why don't you call some friends or family members and see if they will take you. You said you'd pay for it if she took you so obviously money isn't the problem. Your thirteen though sweetheart, start acting like it. There's a lot more to life than clothes.  

Answer 12

Wow. That is quite jerkish -.-

Tell her to buy you clothes or let you buy your own clothes straight forward. If that doesn't work, go to daddy XD

Answer 13

I don't know your mother so all i can do is speculate, she might not have the money to buy the clothes you want? and even though you offered to pay she might feel bad that her daughter had to pay for the clothes so shes trying to figure out a way to get them for you? When i was growing up we had plenty of chores but we didn't get an allowance or get paid for the work that we do. The things you do are just things that need to be done around the house nothing special about them, im not sure if your mother works all day and doesent have the energy to do it when she gets home or something.

Answer 14

it may depend on your financial position, do your parents have low income? it may not be their fault, try to see it from their point of view

Answer 15

That's not fair. If you clean, get good grades and respect her than she is being unfair. you'll have to think out of the box on a way to get money for extra things such as clothes. Maybe try to get an allowance, make a deal with her, get a job, baby-sit, wait till b-day or christmas or holiday money.  

Answer 16

call her a ***** it will get her attention  

Answer 17

OMG!!! That is exactly what happens to me!

I do all the house chores and she still acts mean to me... idk why! It's a typical teenager thing... i bet 85% of typical teenagers have this problem. It's just that when your younger your mom treats you really nice like her "baby" and when you grow up all of a sudden she starts acting like a JERK! What you need to do is LOOK OVER IT, she's your mom and i bet she might be under a lot of stress about something so act like an angel (that is sooo hard, i never act like one!) so she feels bad that she's giving you a hard time and then realises! If she doesn't well.... all i gota say is adults are groan-ups!!!

Answer 18

no most people have to work for what they have. i don't see a problem with her wanting you to work for what you get. your mom is not so bad the real world is a lot harder than that.  

Answer 19

Not sure what the question is but your problem seems to be the exact shop you want to purchase things from.  If you REALLY have no clothes then anywhere would do.  If not, then maybe it's the price that's the problem.  Maybe it's your attitude.  You seem to feel that she OWES you these clothes.  Grow up.  If your Mum works all day then you should help around the house.  Cleaning your room is not a chore, it's something you should do anyway.  It's a blessing to have your own room, not a right.

Answer 20

Let's think about this...

Keeping a clean room benefits YOU

Getting into honors classes benefits YOU

Vacuuming and moping take all of 20 minutes

Maybe your mother does not have the money to waste on crappy hollister clothes.  Maybe she does not want you to spend your money, but rather save it for college.  Your mother is NOT being a jerk.  Your mother is a responsible parent who should be commended for teaching her daughter about the lack of FAIRNESS in life!  And no, every other mother would not just go and buy their kids clothes.  I'm sure you have plenty to wear as well.

Kuddos to your mother.

Answer 21

life's not fair

Answer 22

I'm sure she'd let you buy your own clothes with your own money. If that's not it, then you know there's more to the story you're not saying. People aren't mean for no reason.

Answer 23

Holster is pretty expensive, have you look at their prices compared to other stores, maybe work something out, but your mom may honestly be unable to buy those kind of clothes.  

Answer 24

Listen, tell her the truth. go up to her and tell her "Mum, i need to talk to you." and tell her that you do everything she asks for and tell her you started school and got nothing to wear. Then, ask her what is it you are doing wrong? why wont she buy you something? maybe it's because you have mistreated your siblings or anything at all that she didn't like.

Answer 25

sweetie, can you talk to someone else in the family? if not, you will need to see someone professional and tell them about her, all of it! you are not an adult yet and she has to treat you with love and respect! please, tell someone who has to help you legally, please do it for yourself. and most importantly!!! GO TO COLLEGE AND THEN MOVE OUT. you need independence and college will give you that. stay strong, it was the same with me, i hated my family for this. but now i will be out soon.

Answer 26

Well, maybe she doesn't have enough money to buy from those rip-off stores...ever consider that?
