We know there have been tons of times where you have asked, begged, and volunteered to wash the dishes for something that you wanted. But still, your moms still said no. It was probably partially due to whatever the hotness was that you asked for, but your mom saying nay had more to do with how you handled the situation. So here are a few tips to help you out. You'll be cheesin' like the Rollback Wal-Mart smiley face after you've gotten what you deserve!
1. Argue like an adult. If you resort to whining, it proves to your mom that you're not mature enough. Make a strong point and back it up. Use a calm voice and don't overreact!
2. Give valid reasons why you should get more goodies. Did you make good grades last progress report? Help your funky lil' bro with his school project? Use these types of examples of how you've helped around the house and done your job as a good daughter.
3. Act older than your age. Taking on more responsibility will show that you're ready for bigger and better things. It could be going to the mall with your mom's cash because she trusts you to buy the right thing or it could be getting some updated electronics. Whatever it is, showing that you're capable to handle it is the most important thing.
4. Don't go behind your mom's back. Doing something anyway is just gonna get you in more heat and make it less likely that you're going to get to do something else fun later on. Besides, having your moms rip you a new one isn't fun.
Follow these four rules and you'll be on your way to sportin' the new J's, getting a new iPod, or spending a weekend out of town with your BFF and her family. Acting like you can handle a new experience by acting more adult can go a long way.
