When I wanted a horse, I got some books from the library and learned to ride on the couch. Really! Then, when I finally got to a camp with real horses, I quickly was one of the top riders. I know you could do something like that with guitar; especially since you know how to use the internet. Print up a fingerboard and tape it onto cardboard. Learn the chords. Your mum is not perfect. But God is. Someday there will be a guitar in your hands and you will be ready.
P.S. Guitar is not as easy as people think. People try it and then give up. Find a friend who has given up, or traded up to a better guitar, or ask it you could borrow it, or trade for something. P.S.S. Hang out at a music store. Try out the guitars. Try out the books. If you're quiet and good and determined, the manager may let you be. If he speaks to you about it, ask if there's something you could do for him, like sweep the store...
P.S.S.S. Tell your music teacher at school what happened, and ask for ideas. I am dying to send you a guitar myself, but I think everything is going to turn out all right for you. Forgive your mum. She was doing the best she could when she made the promises. Love her for what she is, and be a winner anyway.

Be patient. Mums don't mean to break promises and we feel awfull when we do. Sometimes it can't be helped though. Guitars can be expensive and the bills have to be paid first. Christmas is coming up, maybe you could try saving a little of your own money and tell her you're willing to help pay for it? If my kids did that I would be so impressed that I would buy the guitar. But maybe she is planning to surprise you for Christmas?

maybe tell your mum that you feel a little let down when she doesn't stick to her promises. Tell her in future not to promise you anything until you are on your way to get it. I think that its sad that you are getting your hopes up and then being let down. I have two children and I make sure that I never break a promise. Fair enough your mum doesn't have any money, but she should not be promising you things unless she does.

Dude, sometimes parents make promises with the full intention of fulfilling them. Try not to take it personally, it's nothing against you. If you're old enough, get a job and buy the things you want for yourself. Meanwhile, love her unconditionally. We're all human and truth be told, moms have issues too. Be encouraged and keep your head up.

That's a shame, your mum is supposed to be setting a good example for you not lying. Maybe talk to her about not promising anymore. She may feel terrible about. Don't worry about the guitar for now, she might get you one later.

I feel bad for you i have a 14 year old & I don't think she would forgive me for that.Can you ask your dad? Maybe she wants to buy it for you for X mas & wants to surprise you.Talk to her & tell her that if shes not honest & trustworthy how does she expect you to be. I would say that she could have a serious money problem but it doesn't seem like it since shes been promising for so long.

Respect the fact that your mom isnt there to give you everything you desire.
I assure you, parents dont purposely break promises to their children. There is usually some fairly decent reasoning to the decision.
If money is the case, why dont you work so you can buy one for yourself?

Start saving your money and don't ask her anymore. She may be having financial problems or she may be making excuses just to put you off, but it looks like you can't count on her for this.
