Ways to convince my mom?

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Looks like the hamster idea is a no.

She doesn't even want to talk about it, she's like hamsters stink so bad blah blah blah.... I don't want any more pets, blah blah blah...

I told her she wouldn't even see or smell the hamster, it would be in my room.

All I got was a huge, big, fat,

I SAID NO!

So much for that... I really despise my parents...

I know it sucks sometimes but parents usually have a reason for their actions. I don't think your mother is going out of her way to be mean. Yes you would keep it in your room, but it is still under her roof and in her house. Maybe don't get moody or upset (not saying you are, just saying). Handle the let down with maturity and tell her something like "that is ok, I understand mom. Maybe later down the road!" The big issue I've seen with parents saying no is the child showing lack of responsibility or respect towards the parent(s). So... I don't know the entire situation at your house to know exactly what is going on, but my suggestion is to just take it with stride, don't get mad or throw a fit about it, and just accept it and move on? Because maybe you just weren't meant to get a hamster right now? Your "dream hammy" may come later on in life and you were just meant to be together

Good things come to those who wait!

Jessika, I don't think you noticed the age of this thread but its from 2003.


Kissycat'skisses, please don't bump up old threads. If you really want to discuss something start a new thread. It often clutters the forum when you do so.

Jessika, lol don't be sorry, I'm surprised I noticed. I was about to reply but then looked at the date.

If you want to start a new thread there is a button in the corner that says "New thread".
