Non creative parents (confusing but has a point)
Ok so I was talking to my mom about redoing my room and painting the walls white with splatter of diffrent colers and she said “no I’ts not your house” and I said “there is no creativey in theis house” and she said “yes there is it’s called mine” anyway I just wanted to ask this for my 15th b-day I really really want to redo my room as in re paint and new bed and an armwar but you just saw the first convo I had with my mom how do I get them to let me redo my room and say yes because I really really want this and I don’t know how to get them to say yes to the paint because they wont let me be creative (and any parents out there why is that) and my stepdad is to cheep to buy me a new bed and armwar so how do I convince them to get all of this stuff?
I agree, it’s Their house - you’ll have the say-so in your own house one day - earn some money if you want a new bed / armwar - maybe you can compromise and put up a removable/non-damaging cover for the walls and splatter away, with the assurance no over-splatter will occur - might work !…Take care !!
I have to agree, as a mother of 3 you want your kids to be creative, but only to a certain point. Parents want to have control over some part of their childs life. Maybe this is only part of your life that you parents can “control”. See if you can compromise with them, amblessed had a good idea. If not try to remember that someday you will have your own house that you can do whatever you want to it. As for the bed and nightstand? You can politely ask for them for your birthday, but don’t be surprised when you are told no. Most parents don’t buy furniture for their kids unless the furniture they already have is worn out. Besides in about 3 years you will probably either be getting ready to go to college or looking for a place of your own. Then will be your time to get really creative.
Good luck and try to remember Soon you will be able to do what you want with something that is just yours.
I agree with amblessed. It is their house. They can do what they want. Politely ask for a reason why you cannot paint the room. What’s wrong with your existing bed and nightstand? Money is tight nowadays so I wouldn’t exactly call it being cheap.
Well, My son wanted his room to look like a dungeon…sure why not…we painted the walls to look like stone bricks and ceiling to be like the sky…He likes it…I am sorry your folks won’t let you explore…maybe ask if only part of the wall could be done..maybe if you explain that it won’t look too crazy they will let you…but it should be a together process…as for furniture…that costs money and not everyone has a lot…maybe change the bedspread…good luck… Iam a mother of two
sorry it ment to say you guys are right
thanks you guy are right =)
