How to convince my mum.

See, my birthday is coming up soon. And I want to get a new board, because I'm just not really satisfied with my board. It's a Drifter. But I want to get the BC Moray. I love the board, it has everything I want with it. My Dad doesn't mind, but my Mum just gets angry at me. I said I'm willing to pay for a bit of it, but she just gets pissed. How can I convince her?

Knew i should have kept out of some mindless grom dribble, "my phoneboardshoesundiespenbearings sucks buy me a new one"

Expected or desired mum response "Yes sure my little sweet pea, the world owes you a living and i have never had to work for anything in my life either."

rant

save till you can buy the hole thing yourself then just buy it

Shred the drifter till it breaks or causes you an injury due to in adequate hardware capabilities. Then you have an excuse to get a new board and get better at skating in the process...

I don't know if I can sell it or not.

It's been pretty worn out, the wheels aren't very good, trucks aren't and the deck is completely buggered on the sides.

I do go well in school.

And I don't get pocket money. I have to ref to get my money.

My sister got a huge present for her birthday and she was told she won't get pocket money for a while.

So I could do something like that. Because I'll start to get pocket money soon.
