How should I go about asking....?

Question

This is a stupid question, but----
This week was my spring break. I had a million plans, but at the last minuet my parents decided we were going out of town. So, I had to crash every single plan.
I got back 2 days ago, and still had the weekend of spring break left. I want to hang out with my boyfriend 2day......the last few times we've hung out, it's been @ his house, so I want him to come over.
How should I go about asking, so that my parents will say yes.
They don't usually allow me to make plans on sunday night, but depending on previous circumstances of my terrible spring break, I think i should be allowed.

I'm in middle school..........

Answer 1

propose it in a way that makes them think they are getting something out of it too. Like, I would really like it if you all spent more time around so and so. It is important that you like the people in my life.

Answer 2

I would just ask them. Acknowledge that they don't approve of him coming over on a Sunday night, but offer to have him leave by a certain time. Explain that this is because you were gone all week and you just want to spend a couple of hours with him. Don't have a blaming or entitlement type attitude or they will say no. I am pretty strict with the rules with my kids but if they come to me with a one time only, here are the limits proposal then I will sometimes give in. If they are nasty or bratty about it then there is no way they will get what they are asking for.

Answer 3

I think you made your case quite clearly and rationally in your question above. Just calmly say to your parents exactly what you stated in your letter. Let them know that you had no choice but to change all your plans to go with them, so please will they allow you make some last minute, no usually allowed plans of your own now. Ask calmly and respectfully, tell them you will respect their decision and then do respect their choice even if it isn't what you want. While you may not get your way this time, the calmness and maturity you've shown will allow you more freedom in the future.

Answer 4

Honey your a college student you work hard and your spring break (which every college student who matters looks forward to) was one from hell. I think you should polietly tell them how you feel and ask them straight out. Don't be around the bush. If they say no then suck it up go back to school and party it always makes me feel better.
