Answer 1

Unfortunately you have to wait for them to come around. It is not that they are selfish and overprotective, but they are trying to make sure you are RESPONSIBLE enough to be able to have your own space. sisters sharing a room is not uncommon, but I think you need to prove yourself to them instead of just expecting for them to do something this major for you "just because."

Answer 2

Wait, you don't really know your parents financal place, and if you do there is something wrong with that. It is none of your business about your parents funds. You are the one that is being selfish. It is your parents house, and that does not mean you are entiled to anything. Infact, the law is written that what you are intitled to is a warm roof over your head, clothes on your back, food in your stomach, to be treated safe and right, and to go to school. You don't have the ability to deside if you are old enough, your parents do. You have an attitude, and it needs to change. That might be why your parents aren't giving you what you think you have to have. Why not try and change your attitude and ask them what they would like to see from you before you get that dream room. Plus, what if they are barely making ends meet. What if they are having a hard time just keeping the house you live in? Does that mean you still deserve to get what you want eeven though the price of wood could be a house payment. Grow up and don't be so selfish.

Answer 3

What you think is enough to make your dream room, and what it will actually cost, are not necessarily the same thing. And you don't know all of the things that they spend money on - it may be that the money they're saving by not building on to your house is the money that will send you to college, buy you a great prom dress, or let you take a senior trip to somewhere really cool. Or they may have debts you don't know about.

If you're really serious about convincing them to make you the room, do your research, and then start working to help pay for it. Find out how much the materials cost, what the fees are for the permits that will be needed to legally add on, what rules there are for any homeowners' associations, what the cost of labor is... adding on to the house is a lot more complicated than building a treehouse.

Answer 4

Just be glad you only have to share your room with 1 sister. Try having 2 parents and 8 kids in a 3 bedroom house.

You could make a deal with them. How about if you keep you and your sisters room spotless for 3 months straight then will he make you your own room. You can get your sister to go along with this too, because I am sure she wants her own room. Think of a deal to make and stick to it if your parents agree. Its going to have to be a REALLY good deal for them to say yes. It should be worth it though.

P.S Are you sure your parents have the money? Building on can be really expensive. They might not tell you about there financial position. If it is because of the money then maybe you can get a job if your old enough.

Answer 5

The first thing you have to do is sit with both your parents and ask them the reason why they will not make your room. Once you get an aswer depending on what they tell you, you can tell them you are willing to maybe do more chores in the house and improving your grades. If your parents are able to do the room financially then this your willingness will give them an insentive. Also keep your word... If you promise to help more with house chores and improve your grade, don't just say it do it!

Regardless of what the outcome might be remember that parents always do things for a reason and maybe you don't undestand it now but when you get older you will, so don't be upset if you don't get your wish. Keep a possive outlook on things!


Good luck!

Answer 6

I don't think you convince them by ranting and raving and stamping your foot like a spoiled child.

The truth is that you don't need your own room, and you can learn a lot of life skills by sharing a room with your sister. Chances are you will spend much of your life having to live with a roommate or spouse, and it's much easier to work out some of the difficulties that come along with that while you are living with someone you are related to rather than with someone you can easily walk away from.

Start acting like a mature, young woman and take advantage of this time to learn how to be a good roommate. If you behave in a more mature fashion, you are more likely to impress your parents and more likely to bring them to a place where they might want to reward you by building you your "dream room."

Best wishes.

Answer 7

Uhm...how does them not wanting you to have your own room yet make them OVERPROTECTIVE? What would they be protecting you from?

It doesn't really sound like they're being hard CORE. Perhaps your father doesn't want to build you your dream room. Or perhaps they're trying to save the money they HAVE for something else...like better education for you, which seems to be in order. Perhaps they don't think you're old enough and I suppose since it's their house, it really is up to them. I doubt it's a matter of selfishness...on their part anyway.

In any case, when I put together my first "dream" room as a kid...I saved my baby sitting money and I did it myself.

Answer 8

Well, take it a little easy on them. I'm sure they love you and just want to look out for you. That said, if you really want your own room, negotiate with them. Find out what their concerns are and address them. If it's money, try to find a way to earn some. If it's the work of re-modeling, simplify your requests. Settle for a great room, rather than your "dream room," If it's your grades or something, make concrete plans to do better this fall. Basically, just talk it out with them. Good luck!

Answer 9

You sound SO immature. You sound like the selfish one. Are you even old enough to be on a computer unsupervised?

Your parents are NOT being selfish. What they are doing is not giving in to everything you want. It's called being a parent. It's their job to teach you responsibility, right from wrong, and how to grow into a decent adult.

I say GOOD JOB to your parents.
