Okay, I just got the HTC Evo, 2 weeks ago. I want to get the iPhone 4S in March of next year when I will have my Evo for about 6 and a half months, just in time for my trip across the world. It's only going to be about $100 because my contract would be up and since it would be up, I would get a discount. So, I told my mom that I would like to get the iPhone in March and she freaked out calling me spoiled, I just got a new phone, I don't need another. I am talking six months away AND I will pay for the iPhone with my own money! This is what grinds my gears, my brother smokes weed, he buys it all the time thus leading him to be broke constantly. She is okay with him using his money for illegal drugs and I can't buy myself a new phone with MY money? What is her deal? My dad agrees with her and they both said they aren't letting me get it. Why are they being so ignorant to me? I don't get it! Also, how can I talk them into letting me get the phone without them freaking out again? I love my Evo, it's a great phone, honestly. The only thing that makes me hate it is the battery, it lasts 4 hours and when I go across the world on my trip, I want to be able to take pictures and send them to the friends that I am there with and play games and find local restaurants on the internet without worrying about losing battery every time I click my phone on like I do with my Evo. Please help ): (link)

Your parents see your brother as a lost cause and he'll probably be getting the boot the soonest they can manage it.
Now as for you and the phone issue, your parents may feel that you are taking them for granted. I also don't know your parents living circumstances when they were growing up, but I grew up working class and didn't get crap from my parents much less a cell phone because they couldn't afford it. And a lot of us who are your parents' age don't understand the need to be connected 24/7. I still don't own a cellphone. So your parents just don't want you to grow up looking at yourself as an entitled douchebag plus there is a little bit of a generation gap going on as well, methinks.
Show them a work ethic and all will be well.
