Thank you for the other advice on the last question!!
Question Posted Monday May 7 2007, 7:39 pm
My parents wont let me go shopping for a very long time because they think I have so much clothes. The clothes I have are really out of style now. Thats why I would so want to go shopping. She lets my sisters go even though they get my hammy-downs. How can I get new clothes when I cant? I already gave some away but she still thinks that I have to much. Oh my gosh I just want some new clothes thats all!!
what should I do about this?
Try getting a job. That way they can't complain about you going shopping a lot because you're not spending their money. This way you're incontrol. Maybe you might want to work at a local store, pet shop, etc. Although, you don't have to work for a ocmpany if you don't actually want to. Domestic chores are great for getting fast money. You could do house work (even though it's your parent's money, they're not giving it to you freely, you're working for it) or help out a neighbor(s) for a price such as mowing their lawns, walking their pets, watering their flowers, painting walls, washing their cars, babysitting, or whatever you can think of. This way, not only do you show a great deal of responsibility, but you also show that you're successful when independent.
You don't only have to work by yourself-you could do some jobs where you work with a friend or a group of friends so that you have fun when you're working.
