How can I talk to my mom without her getting upset?

Question

I want a cell phone. My mom says that I'm too young. I'm twelve. My mom says that I'm still a baby and that I should have fun being one while I can. My sister got one when she was 13. Every time I talk to her about it she gets angry with me.

Answer 1

Well, if you are a responsible pre teen and your mother knows this as a fact, suggest that you start off with a pre paid phone. That way she can monitor the minutes used. Then work your way up to a phone with a monthly plan after you have proven that you are not going to be the type that will run a montly bill sky high. This may take some time, but a pre-paid phone is better than no phone. Do some extra chores around the house to 'pay off ' your bill. Ask your mom to give you a chance. It worked for me. My eleven year old has a pre-paid and he is doing very well with it and he manages his time wisely also. It can be done.

Answer 2

Then stop talking to her about it. She's already said no and told you why she said no.

There was nothing I found more irritating when my children were growing up than a child who kept begging and whining for something after I had said no.

I did not say no immediately. I always thought about my answer and often talked to the child to learn more about whatever it was he/she wanted.

But once I said no, that was it. If he/she continued to nag, he/she was grounded.

Accept what your mother has said and get on with your life.
