How to ask my mom?
Hi. I am looking for advice on how to ask my mom if I can do gymnastics camp. I have reasons to go along with my argument, such as my sister gets to do soccer camp this summer. Although there are also negative factors to worry about. Example- yes, my sister does get to go to soccer camp, but for next to no money. Of course I could offer to pay for some of it, but I always get myself worked up about how to ask. I'm sure she'll say yes. She always does no matter what I'm asking (I don't do this often). I just want help on how to compose this conversation without making it sound like I've rehearsed it 1000 times. Thanks in advance.

It is funny but even as old as I am which is old enough to be your grandfather. When something is important to us we rehearse whatever it is until we are comfortable with it and know we will get it right. I do it all the time when I'm want something or doing something. I'm married and marriage is a 50/50 proposition so if I'm going to spend a large amount of money on something even if it benefits both of us I will always ask my wife first. When I do I rehearse to make sure I have what I want to tell her correct. Rehearsing is the best way to prepare yourself for whatever it is you are going to do.
As to how to ask mom to go to summer soccer camp; you know mom best. Is she someone that likes to be told straight out with just the facts or do you have to paint her a picture of what you’re asking for? IF she is the type of person who is busy with work and then home I believe she would prefer you just come out and ask for what you want. This would be, “Mom I would love or like to go to Soccer camp this summer, if you want I can chip in to pay for some of it."
If mom is the type where you have to paint her a picture and show her a benefit of going to soccer camp. Then do so and at the end you tell her which cam p you wish to go to and that can pay so much toward it.
This is the best advice I can offer not really knowing you or your mother.
