Asking for a gift
Hey, my birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks, and the only thing I really want is an Xbox 360. They're like $400 right now, but I have $200 saved up already. How can I manage to ask them for this and to offer to pay for half of it? If anybody has any weaseling tips, it would help lol.

Present the idea to them. Tell them that you want it, and just offer to pay for half if they say it's too much. If you keep asking, they're more likely to get sick of hearing it, and get it for you.

I wanted a laptop for my birthday.
I said:
"Mom, I want a freaking laptop."
I begged a lot.
I got the laptop.

Moral of the story: Come right out with it. Tell them what you want and what you're willing to do to get it.

Hmmm well there are a few ways you can approach this. You could wait untill your parents ask you what you want for your birthday and then say the Xbox 360. Or you could be suddle. Find a magazine or something with it in there and circle it or say "Mom isn't this cool?" Also when your parents ask you what you want you could be like "Well to be honenst I really want the Xbox 360. I know its really expensive but I have $200 saved up already and I could help pay for it." You could right a birthday wishlist with some other little things on it and have XBOX 360!!! in capital letters and different colors to show that it's the most important thing on your list.
But if they still say no, theres always guilting them. Like if they say no and then ask you what else you want say something like "I guess I just wannt money than so I can save up and buy it myself..." I'm sure if you make it know that that's what you really want, you'll probably get it :]. Hope i've helped!!!
