What's the Chance?
ok, 4-h is having a camp out of town. my grandma is afraid i'll get homesick. and she doesn't trust everybody. Life is such a drag! She says I can't go unless she is a chaperon. My friends get to go. I told her that they get to go. She says I'm the boss and you're gonna listen to what I say. (i live with her) My friends' dads are chaperones and one's mom is a chaperon. I told her that and she said I'll think about letting you go. I askedmyfriend what were the odds of my grandma(who is 63) of becoming a chaperon. She said 0 out of 10. What do I do? Please don't tell me to wait because i already have waited and asked her about every 5 days. She keeps saying I'll think about it. I know that means no. If you have the odds of her becoming a chaperon or even the chances of me going please tell me even if its stupid. Im desperate! If u nowhat i should do tell me that, too. thanks. :)

Let her meet your friend's parents who are going. Then maybe she'll feel more confident about letting you go, since she knows some chaperones.

hey. You could tell all these great things. You could also try to get on her good side. By cleaning the house.Doing good in school. you know. The chances of her being a bouncer [chaperon] are not big so try to win her over get your friends parents to call and tell your grandmother everything will be ok otherwise sorry to tell you, you wont be going

There's really not much you can do about this type of situation. Ask her again and do chores around the house (that will definitely score reponsibility points *wink*) Also...just tell her all the things that would make her comfortable... blah blah blah whose gonna be there etc.
That's all I can say because if you don't have any other alternative then to have your grandmother chaperone in order for you to go...then there's not much anyone can do....you just have to either wait (even if you don't want to)...or convince her.

There's nothing that YOU will be able to do to change her mind. She feels comfortable telling you, " I'll think about it" because she knows that YOU know that means no. What I would suggest is to have one of your friends' parents who WILL be a chaperone to go and have a talk with her. That way, they, as adults, can put to rest any fears that your grandmother may have. They can even assure her that they will keep a close eye on you. That may ease her mind enough to let you go. I think that all she wants to do is be assured that you will be safe.

Well, I know how that feels about my mom. But you need to tell her that all your other friends mom's or dad's are chaperoning and that you can also trust her. Sometimes you can do nice things for her and that might change her mind a little bit! ;)

You're grandmother may have other reasons that she isn't saying. She is the only one who can tell you the reason, although she may not. She probably is very protective of you, or just doesn't want you to be gone for that long for her own reasons.

odds of her becoming a chaperon is very slim, but if you sit down and talk as as adults and get each others side of the story on why you want to go and why it is so important im sure she will understand. And when I mean sit and talk I mean it no rolling eyes or raising of the voices I mean talk like adults. This might allow her to see your maturity and she might just let you go.

Have your grandma meat some of the chaperones that are going. Maybe she'll consider having you go. Be extra helpful around the house and be nice to her. Let her know that you are very responsible and you wont get homesick.
Hope you go to camp!
