I want to move but my mom won't let us move how can I convince her
Question Posted Friday August 13 2010, 5:27 pm
Hi I'm 10 years old and I really want my mom to move to Strasburg, Pa so I can see my friend all the time, but even though I gave her good reasons why to move she still won't move how can I convince her.
BTW these are the reasons I gave her, about school I can transfer to the school in Strasburg.I won't be bugging her about when I can see my friend again, I can get a job and help her earn the money for the house. She can get a new job as a guidence counsler at the school, and she won't have to pay too much for the school.Last of all my house here is boring because there's nothing to do but if we move to Stasburg there will be tons of things I can do, and my mom still isn't convinced thats why I need help ):

There's a lot more to where you live than where your friends are. It costs a lot of money to move, and takes a very long time to work things out. If you own a house, it would have to be sold before you could move. If you rent an apartment, you'd have to wait for your lease to be up! Jobs aren't easy to get, and right now if you've got one it's best to keep it. It's also not legal for you to get a job until you're at least 14 in most states.
If your house is really that boring, try making some other friends that you can have fun with! Or try talking to your mom about it, maybe you can come up with something fun to do together or with friends. See if maybe every once in a while you can go to your friend's house for a night or maybe a weekend, or your friend can come to yours. Maybe one month you go to their house, the next month they go to yours. That's what happened when I was your age and my best friend and I didn't live close to each other.
I hope things work out for you, but don't expect to get too far with trying to convince your mom you need to move. Don't forget to think of her in the situation. She has needs too, and you can't be selfish and want everything to happen just for you. [ mearek's advice column | Ask mearek A Question ]
