Parents Always Saying NO?

I know when my mom says no, it means no. But what if she didn't say no? What if she said yes? There would be no argument and everyone would be happier :)

  • Think about why you want what you want (for example, I wanted my macbook for music. come up with at least 3 reasons, if you don't have that many, don't ask)
  • Be prepared for that dreaded NO.
  • Save up half the money for the thing you want (I want an iPad so I'll save up 250$)
  • Ask your parents politely (if they say yes, great, if they say no once, THEN offer to pay half)
  • Smile & make eye contact! (do not cross your arms!)
  • Do not yell, slam doors or insult your parents
  • Always ask when they're in a good mood
  • Don't ever start your proposal with "I know you're going to say no..."
  • If they say "I'll think about it" don't pester them. They'll think about it and get back to you.
  • THINK about what you're going to say before you talk
  • Say please & thank you (:
If they say no, try again in a couple of weeks or, just save up and buy the thing yourself! It isn't the end of the world
