How do I talk my mom into letting me get this?! PLEASE HELP
Question Posted Monday November 19 2012, 11:12 pm
Hi! So I'm a female, 12 years old, and in France. So anyways, I've been obsessed with getting the Wii U. My mom said I may have till Christmas - or even until taxes come. And I'm SERIOUSLY obsessed with the Wii U and I really need it!! I don't know what to say to her to let me get it. She's that typs where she can get talked into letting me buy it.
I know this is a weird question or I may seem selfish or something, but I need this.. I've actually cried over this thing. That's how bad I want it Dx
The other thing right now is that NOBODY unless they are related to Mario himself or the president of Nintendo can find it in stores and get it off the shelf in the U.S. and Canada ditto for the Mario Bros Wii U game.
You need a pre-order for both and that takes a while to ship while they get stock.I think if you relax you'll get one and the wait will be worth it.
Putting more pressure on mom won't work at all because she can't provide it or she would have given it to you already. It's not a matter of talking her into something it's a matter of her having no money to put aside for it now. That's what you aren't seeing. And yes, I want one too but don't mind waiting ;) [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

If so, you have to show her you really want it and you'll get the value back in enjoyment. And show you understand that the money you spend on it won't then be available for anything else. Or is she saying not just as a little treat, you have to wait for Christmas? If so, no worries! It's only a few weeks mate...and give her a big hug on crissy morning! There's the other possibility. Listen mate, the world's in a bit of a mess right now. It's costing your mum much more a week to keep you well fed, well dressed and warm and happy in your home than a few years back. But we're not getting paid much more, a lot have lost their jobs altogether. It might be she's having trouble sparing the cash. If that's so, you'll have to hang in there, and don't pile the pressure on her either. She'll do her best I reckon. Meanwhile, have you got any old tech that's still good, but you've outgrown? Something that you got, but you're not that keen on? Maybe you could sell it on and chip in with the cost? You'll be right. [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]
