tell your dad that you'll work for him instead - ask him what shores does he need to be done around the house and that you'll do them for extra money.
plus your dad if probably looking out for your safety only.
give it a shot. good luck kid.

You should sit down and talk to your Dad, let him know how you feel. Ask him what could you do that he would approve of to make some extra money. Keep up your good work at home and school. Some times it's not as hard as you think to talk to parents. Give it a try. I am aware that there are some parents that dont really talk much to their kids. Some times the parents dont know what to say.
Good Luck

leaving flyers on a driveway is not a good way to go about business at any age, try talking to people and ask only people you know, there are a lot of twisted people out there and a lot of people that will take advantage of your age, i used to cut grass and i cut for some people that would either hide when they had to pay or blamed me for breakin stuff, you dont need money as a 13 year old, you have a house, food, clothing and an education, go out and play with your friends, if youre not responsible enought to do your chores and get good grades, then youre not responsible enough to work for other people, maybe you need to show him that you are responsible enough to handle it, try asking your dad what he will allow you to do

If you leave flyers on people's driveways then it can be considered littering. Try knocking on their doors or putting up a flyer at the supermarket or corner store. Ask your Dad if there is anything that you could do for him or your Mom. Maybe other family members could help. good luck, sweetie

Ask your father for some money, or ask him what he will allow you to do to earn money. He probably has a problem with you posting the home phone number all over the neighborhood, also he may have a problem with you going into strange people house for safety reasons.

First of all, let me say I have a son who is also 13. I am very proud that at your age, you are willing to go out an be an entrepreneur to earn your $. GOOD FOR YOU!
I agree with other feedback that your Dad may have concerns with safety, work ethics followed, etc... However comming to this forum, you seem to be quite smart and mature. I am sure you could discuss this with your Dad and ask for acceptable suggestions. You may need to ask him at a time when he is able to talk in detail. Tell him you need 10 minutes of his time and ask when it would be a good time for a meeting.
You see, sometimes as parents, we try so hard to get thru the bustle of life to make things easier for our familys, that we forget to take daily time out for the most important thing. . . .YOU! If you follow thru with these steps, I am sure you and Dad will come up with an agreement.
Let me know when your are rolling in the dough!

It would appear that dad is stopping the money making ideas have you asked him why? or better yet tell him why you need the money and what does he advise, also are you being paid to look after your younger brothers and sisters. maybe they will be willing to up your allowance

I was wondering if this was more to do with his pride perhaps - not wanting the neighbours to think for one moment that "the family" needed the money.
I might be wrong, but I have known it happen before.
Either way, you have my respect for trying to get things going - with a determined outlook and a creative mind I am sure you will do fine for yourself in the future.

A lot of people consider calling cards litter. Can you just go door to door and talk to people? When I cut grass I drove around on my bicycle and knocked on doors where the grass needed cutting. Good Luck!
