The best thing you can do is use things as they should be. Like alot of people when they use like Shampoo they wil fill there hand full. Instead use just a little. Also you could try not to buy things so often. Try to save money from your parents and try to coast as little as possible. My mom grew up with 11 kids with her mother (her dad was always at work and left her after she had 11 kids) They all just shared and used thing sparily. Like Instead of begging to get somthing work for it. Goodluck and im sorry [ CheerChick69's advice column | Ask CheerChick69 A Question ]
SoftballxBuddy answered Friday July 8 2005, 2:28 am: Aw im so sorry to hear that. What you can do is if you get allowance tell her to keep it. Or get a job like babysitting, dog walking, or mowing lawns. Give your mom that money. Keep an eye on your brothers and sisters once in a while.. let her relax.

karenR answered Thursday July 7 2005, 8:26 pm: You know my son has 5 kids and it can be tough these days! The biggest thing I always get after my grands about is...they waste things! Especially food. Now they are all 9 years old and under so they are pretty young, but maybe you can help your brothers and sisters with this. It would really be a help to mom.
Never get more food than you can eat. Food costs lots of money. Eat what you want but don't waste things. Don't wash your hair everyday. It isn't good for it anyway. Maybe wash it every couple of days instead.Just little things like that would be a tremendous help. Put your thinking cap on and go to work on those siblings! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
X_Amanda_X answered Thursday July 7 2005, 8:02 pm: Do whatever you can to make money. For example, mow lawns, babysit, etc. Hopefully that will help with your family. Also try to talk your mom or dad into getting a job (if they don't already have one)

IsabelToTheRescue answered Thursday July 7 2005, 7:30 pm: I think you could get a job...
- babysitting (you can make maybe $6/$7 per hr.)
- coaching (soccer ref. asst.coach for a sport you play)
*Another way to make money is collect a bunch of coins you have laying around and go to a coin star machine (i dont know where you live, and im not sure if they have these everywhere). Coin star machines give you cash for the coins you put in. You'd be suprised how much money you can make! Usually they are in grocery stores.
*Another thing you can do is sell things you no longer want that are in good shape on .. www.EBAY.com
www.amazon.com
* In Cosmo Girl magazine this month they have a whole section about how you can make money. Im going to pass along the info to you.
Where to sell clothes and accesories?
-- @ consignment stores
find one at www.consignmentshops.com
**how much you'll make -- $1-$10 per item.
(unless its designer etc.)
Where to sell books?
-- @ local used book stores.
(not like a Barnes and Noble though ; they recommend selling cookbooks or nonfiction books.)
**how much you'll make -- $1 paperbacks and up to $100 for first edition books.
Where to cell CD's and DVD's?
-- www.cashforcds.com
**how much you'll make -- up to $5 each
Where to sell sporting goods?
-- www.playitagainsports.com
** how much you'll make -- depends on item
great shape skis maybe $300
field hockey stick maybe $10
Irishdude405 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 7:13 pm: Try getting a paper route or something or even do a lawn mowing service ALOT OF SENIOR CITIZENS NEED THIS AND THEY PAY GOOD MONEY. Now if you have all of your siblings do this it could help. Yard work is something many people need in the summer and it gives a good amount of money. I strongly reccomend doing this [ Irishdude405's advice column | Ask Irishdude405 A Question ]
Sammerz619 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 7:09 pm: Well try to find a good job for someone at a younger age.

icey0990 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:37 pm: every little thing helps when the family is short on money..
-do your siblings go to daycare? offer to watch them to save your family some $$$
-cut grass for neighbors,garden,babysit other kids , etc to make some pocket change
-like i have $300 in bday money so if my family was running tight i would lend it to and whenever things were lookin up again i would get paid back so if you or your siblings have any bday money maybe they can lend it [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
xbrunettex answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:36 pm: ok well.. i dont know how old you are but if you are over 14 then you could try to get a job :) but if you are younger then there isnt much you can do. Maybe help around the house? and don't ask for everything you want, especially if it is expensive. You could probably watch your little siblings when your mom needs it and if you're just turning into a teenage, you're bound to start having mood swings but try to control them and don't pressure your parents or give them anything else to have to worry about. Other than that, just cope with your problems and if you ever need someone to talk to IM me on AIM or AOL at brunette x5o ; hope i helped!
twistedsister17 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:28 pm: Well, you can try to get a part time job if you are old enough. Our if you are too young to get a job, try to do jobs around your neighborhood. Ask neighbors if they could use any help with yard work. Then you could do the work (rake leaves, mow lawn, etc) for money. Or you can start a baby sitting job. Post flyers around your neighborhood to let people know you're available for pet or baby sitting. Good luck. [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]
jTsCeLlMaTe answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:22 pm: I agree with the other answers you got you should try to do odd jobs or just be nice to your parents and not cause any trouble.
thinkpink03 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:17 pm: aw, thats sad! Well to help out you could offer to do some chores because i'm sure your parents are already stressed out enough. also, if you are the oldest you can babysit your siblings while your parents are away. also, i dont know how old you are but you can get a small job like babysitting, lemonade sale, dog walking, or something else like that!
