My aunt (she's actually my mom's best friend but we are really close) lives down the jersey shore. She said to my mom and I when we were visiting that if I wanted too, since next summer I would be 14 and I could work, I could stay at her house and get a job at the boardwalk. My mom always says she likes to exaggerate and talk because she always says stuff but never actaully does it. BUt this time my mom asked her several times and she sounded sure. I thought this was really generous because she has a 9 year old girl, and a family to take care of, and she is letting me stay at her house for the summer. My question is, do you think she really means it? ANd what are some things I could do while there or before I go to convince her that it was a good idea to let me stay there?
A good idea might be to offer to do chores around the house while you're there. Or offer to babysit one night every week so that she and her husband can go out on dates... Or maybe so she can have a girls' night out. I'm sure she'd really appreciate the extra help around the house and the opportunity to take a break. If you're willing to do this, tell your mom so she can pass it on to your aunt. Or call her yourself and let her know! [ MW8305's advice column | Ask MW8305 A Question ]

Also try pcking up around the house, help her with dinner and watch her daughter and play with the girl and that'll show your aunt that it was an extreamly great idea:) Hope I helped:) Good wishes to you:) [ VictoriaGrace's advice column | Ask VictoriaGrace A Question ]
