Help me convince my parents

anuraj · 2 Mar 2011 at 17:42

I want to convince my parents to get me a xbox 360 controller so far I have this.
My cousins and friends all have xboxes and they take the micky out of me when I fail at their house.

Any more ideas

Get a paper round.

I want it now.

man up.

ask your parents if they will get you one and (if you don't already do things around the house) do chores/cut the grass/wash cars for it.

but i see your in Leicester so your most likely work shy like the rest of us haha

YES AND I'M 12.
So I've been good round the house but what I'm really asking for is words that will help me convince them

Offer SPECIFIC jobs for money!

There are no words if they don't want to get it.

Sell something else to buy one?

thats a birthday or christmas present money
as said above do chores or paper round to pay for it

anuraj · 2 Mar 2011 at 17:57

I do jobs but even if I did make the money they would still say no so I need to convince.

Just talk to them nicely (like actually properly, have a real conversation about something else intelligently and then bring it up that if YOU earn't the money then could you buy one.

Be nice to them, don't throw a strop, do things even without asking, when they say no over and over again don't go off the handle (my sisters mistake all the time), just keep being good for them and not bringing it up all the time and you might get there.

jakejacob0 · 2 Mar 2011 at 18:02

jakejacob0 · 2 Mar 2011 at 18:03

If I was your parents I would slap you silly. Why don't you suggest jobs around the house as requested for money or a controller for jobs? In your case.... fair trade!

Is this guy for real?

anuraj · 2 Mar 2011 at 18:05

Awesome I just got my old one working sorry for wasting your time. They would say not to that idroid for some reason I'm not allowed to spend my own money.

Just wait untill your parents appreciate you for the bundle of joy you so clearly are.
