My mum wont let me play the xbox?

Question

I want to play my box 360 and my mum wont let me i am 15 and i think i should at least be able to play the box she has had many ex uses but i have proved her wrong now she said she made up a rule that we are not aloud on at week days she sais she made it ages ago but i dont remember itand i asked her for the reason for the rule (rules and laws all have reasons) she said because she said so. I have never done anything wrong im=n my whole life, and i have total respect for my parents but i cant go on

Anyone have any ideas on how i can convince her to let me on

Answer 1

tell her you are doing a psychological experiment for school, and you need to test the affects of violent computer games on introverts and extroverts. This way you not only can play xbox and all the games with 18 certificates but you can brinng round a bunch of friends as well. You can do the same when you get caught drinking. 'Mum it's all in the name of science'.

Answer 2

i don`t know man

Answer 3

make a compromise say after chores homework ask if you can play

or wait until she is in a good mood and ask whether you can play and if she says no try to barter by offering to do extra chores etc

but don't sound too desperate because she may think you are addicted to it and ban it fully

Answer 4

try comprimise like weekdays 2hrs a day after hmk or chores weekends whatever

Answer 5

Johnny P has got the right idea. I'm a mom, of 3 kids ages 15, 11, and 8. (we have xbox 360 and Playstation 2) And during school on weekdays, I let them play (or use the computer) after homework and chores are done, and it gets turned off at 8 pm for the younger 2. (of course time is made for dinner and getting showers)

The 15 year old can play later, but as long as he has everything done, then he should get more privileges because he's older. He is pretty responsible and good at making those kinds of decisions for himself. He's a good kid and is usually done by 10 pm, because he wants to get in bed and get enough sleep for school.

So, yeah try and come to some kind of compromise, and show your mum that you can be responsible. Maybe each chore, or good behavior you do can earn 15 minutes to 30 minutes of play-time. If you do enough stuff, you could get 2-4 hours a day

Answer 6

Just take it and walk upstairs ith it and lock your room or wait til she goes out. what i normally do it take something of hers and say because i said so until i get it and she gets fed up and i just say let me on it what ive i done.

Or do some chores or homework and show her what you have done. and see if its right. or say you have research on it and the xbox360 has a internet on it and just play on it.

Answer 7

talk to your mum and tell her that you know why she's worried about you playing your xbox. Tell her you know about some games being too violent and you should not be exposed to it or you might get too hooked up and forget about your studies. Tell her you are different and that she has to trust you sometimes. And try to make a sweet deal with her. Like maybe helping her do the dishes or do the garbage (it shouldn't take 30 minutes of your time). At least she would know that you are somehow getting responsible while you enjoy your console. Maybe she just needs to hear something positive if she lets you play with it.
