Do you want to go to a party but your mom won't let you?Don't give up!If you follow these steps, your mom will say "Yes" before you know it.
Step 1: Be honest.
When you want to do something, a mom's biggest fear is that you'll get hurt.If you want to convince your mom that you have nothing to worry about, you need to tell her all about your big plan.Give her details about how safe it is and show her how you've worked it out.She will most likely say yes once she sees it isn't really risky.Know what you're talking about.You should know the rating of the movie if it is a movie.Unless your mom asks, don't mention the movie if you're under the age of 18.Mention the movie type, like comedy or thrillers.
Step 2: Be happy.
Tell her how you want to improve your life.Say you will gain life experience if you go to a concert.If you want to stay up late, tell her how you'll use the time.Tell her that your social life needs a boost if you want more time with your friends.If you want a new pair of shoes, show her how old they are.
Step 3: Don't lie about what you're doing.
It might work the first time, but when your mom finds out, she's going to reject it again.You don't always have to tell the whole truth, but you can leave out details that no mom needs to know.Next time you want something, don't even bother asking!
Step 4: You'll be home on time.
How you get to home is going to be important.Tell her how you're going to get home, and give her an exact time.You came home on time before.
Step 5: If anything goes wrong, have a plan in place.
Moms like to see their kids plan.Tell her you have covered it if you think through what could happen.If your friend leaves without you, have a different plan for getting home.
Step 6: When you earned her trust, bring up times.
Tell your mom how well you've been doing in school, how much you help around the house, and how you always reach home on time.If your mom tells you to wait a week before asking her for something, you can earn her trust back.
Step 7: Tell her that you only live once.
Do you remember the concert you went to that changed your life?You were my age that year.If you want to have fun before you grow up and leave the house, talk about the fact that youth is fleeting.She will start to feel nostalgic and emotional, which will lead to a "yes" before you know it.
Step 8: Do well in school.
What is your mom's excuse if you always do your homework and get good grades?She doesn't have one.Your mom will see how much you deserve the treat when you do your best in school and extracurricular activities.
Step 9: Do your work.
Take some of the load off your mom by helping her clean the house, do the dishes, mow the lawn, walk the dog, and all the other little things she does.Doing some extra chores doesn't hurt if you're asking for something big.You should go above and beyond a few weeks before asking.
Step 10: Get home on time.
Being reliable is the key.If you deceive your mom, she's not likely to give in when you want something.When you say you will, do your best to get home.Have your room cleaned by Saturday if you say you'll have it done.You don't need to be asked a second time if you say you'll feed the cat.Your mom will notice how reliable you have been.
Step 11: Cook something.
If you surprise your mom by taking over the kitchen and cooking something for her, she will love it.If you get up early, you can cook scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast or bake a cake or cookies for everyone.It sounds weird but it works.
Step 12: Be kind.
Ask about her day.Why not reverse it and see what happens?It is more likely that your mom will say yes.Tell her how things are going in your life and let her know what you've been thinking about.She will be more likely to let you make your own decisions.
Step 13: You can make money to pay for what you want.
If you want to go to a movie or get a new toy, you should offer to do some chores around the house in exchange for the money you need to pay for it.Your mom might be so impressed with the offer that she will say yes.
Step 14: It is possible to compromise.
If you really wanted to go to a party, but your mom doesn't want you to be out late, she's saying no.Wouldn't it be better to come home an hour earlier?She might let you stay out as late as you want if it goes well.
Step 15: Don't say that everyone else is doing it.
Do kids say this all the time?Moms don't care if they go along with the crowd.If you're asking for something that everyone else is getting to do, you should have a list of people your mom respects who will do it.If your mom wants to call your parents, be prepared to have your friends back you up.
Step 16: Don't beg.
It will make your mom feel like she's making the right decision when she says "no"You have to give her a reason to say yes.If you can't get her to say "yes" in any way, a guilt trip might be what you need.Phrases like "No, it's okay" can be used.I love you mom.You can walk downstairs.She will come to you later and tell you that you can go.
Step 17: Make her happy.
Tell a joke or tease your mom to make her laugh.She can turn things around if she says something funny.It shows your mom that you know it's not the end of the world and you're not going to throw a temper tantrum.She might change her mind because of her mood.
Step 18: Don't forget to say "I love you"
It makes moms feel happy.Don't let it sound fake, even if you're angry.The power of these three words can't be underestimated.
Step 19: Ask your dad if that doesn't work.
He may be able to talk your mom into it if you convince him.This may not work in some families since the mother's decision.
