i know its wierd but i really need help

Answer 1

It's your mother's choice to have a child, if you want this badly enough talk to your mother openly. Explain your situation to her, let her know how much you would help and start doing it now! Ask her why she doesn't want another child, maybe guilt her a little and ask her if she didn't want to have you and if she did, why doesn't she want to have another one just like you! You cannot guarantee a little brother you may get a little sister if you mom consents at all to having another child. Also consider your father, he may or may not want a part in this at all. This is really a decision to be made between your parents as they are the ones who will be responsible for him for the next 18 years, not you. Good Luck!

Answer 2

If she does want a baby, then maybe your mother may eventually have a baby. If she doesn't get pregnant, maybe it's because she and your dad realized something about their financial situation and changed their mind. Retirement? The cost of your college education? The cost of taking care of or helping a relative? This is a side of her life that you are not seeing because you are just 13. Imagine yourself in college in 7 years. Your life will be full of studying and activities and dating and planning. Your mother will be facing at least another 15 years of supporting and parenting a child. Do you really think all that is worth it just so you can have a little brother or sister right now? What if she told you that after college, she needed you at home to help raise that child? Or what if one of your parents died or they divorced? Think about all these possible outcomes before you talk to your mom again about her having a baby.

Answer 3

This is the kind of decision that is between your mother and your father. It is not the sort of thing for you to try to involve yourself in.

Do you have any idea how much of a time commitment an infant is? How expensive children are? This is so not something you should be pushing your mother about. It's none of your business first of all and second, you have no comprehension of what you are asking for.

Let this drop. Trust me, you will never convince your parents to have another child unless they want to and all you are going to do is make your mother upset if you keep pushing the issue.

Answer 4

I'm sorry but it's not your choice, it is your mothers choice. She might not want another child, or her age might be why. Perhaps she is too old or is likely to miscarriage. Also whoever said you can't go out with friends and have to help out heaps is not right. It depends on the parents and child, I have to younger siblings(3 years adn 7 months) and I still go out with friends. I do have to look after them sometimes but they don't take over your life.

Answer 5

There is nothing you can do to make your mother have a baby if she does not want another baby then it wont happen. If she wants to have another baby she will. Unfourtantly all you can do is pray and hope she decides to have one and it may not be a boy when she does either you may get yourself a little sister instead.

Answer 6

If your mom said she doesn't want one then she doesn't want one. You can't really convince her. Your mom porbably doesn't one because it might be a lot of hardwork and overhwelming for her. Help her out so she does have free time and maybe she will consider it.

Answer 7

It's your mom's desicion, not yours. But you can try to act really responsible anyway, that may change her mind. Here's some suggestions:

1. Help around the house

2. Get good grades in school and study

Answer 8

trust me its better if u will be an only child
now that u r 13
it will be harder on u
u will have to take care of baby sometimes and not be able to go with friends
i had that problem and still do
and my bro is 4 and i am 13

Answer 9

I don't think your request is weird.
Start taking care of yourself first and show her that you're responsible enough so that she has the quality time to take care of a new human being.
Do your homework without being told.
Do your chores.
Help with the housework and cooking.
Get a job babysitting, dog walking, etc so you can contribute money to the household.

Answer 10

there's really nothing you can do to convince your mom to have a baby. it is her body and her decision. listen to what your mom says. having and raising a child is a lot of work. it may happen sometime but not until the time is right. there is nothing you can do to make the time right. it happens when it happens. hope this helps. good luck.
