Well...I Have the money but my mom says that i have to save all my money while i can for when I'm older. She also says that i got a computer all the time for me(which is true because there is 2 computers and i can always use one). I want one because i like sitting on the couch and playing runescape :D while I'm watching TV or just lay on my bed and chat with privacy :D . Or do my homework in a nice place because the desk for the computer is really small and it irritates me. Does anyone think of any idea to convince my mom into letting me buy one... The computer is really neat for what i want it to be... i don't want to be playing...Assassins Creed ;) on the laptop... i just want to use it for chatting, doing my homework, having privacy, not get bored while doing a skill on runescape :D ... I could even get close to a window because the computer place is so dark... the lights wont lighten the place up... Or even just do whatever i want with it.... i hate listening to my brother say...hey! dont install that... thats a virus... that takes too much space... or chat without thinking that hes looking at me... its so creepy :D...
So... i want ideas to convince my mom into buying me one....
P.S. dont say, ask your dad...hes worse :) .
P.S.S. My mom doesnt spy on me...she´s told me that she hates spying and she doesn´t do it.
I mean...why cant i be responsable for my money... i want to do what i want with my money...

Maybe if you started by showing you CAN be responsible with money and show willing by going out and EARNING some she might be willing to let you buy it. BUT it is still their decision and we cannot change that.
It depends, I also wanted to buy an acer aspire one but I figured out I don´t need it because I already have an iPod Touch which is an internet device + a desktop computer in my room.
-Do you have for example an iPod Touch/iPhone or other Wi-Fi device like?
-Do you put away some money for yourself in the future already? For example, make a budget, I save every year 50 euros+ for the future or even 100 and when I have more, I save it for gadgets, games, clothes, things I like.
-Do you already work? Are you 18-17 + ? Where are you going to work with your acer aspire one instead of Home? Can you use it in class? Will you use it in Coffee shops? I´m not more than 17years old so I figured out I won´t use it anywhere instead of Home and rarely in friends homes? Yeah, sure you can use it in the car(I tried it and it´s not very fun to be alone in front of a computer screen with no contact with my family).
Think about these things again and again and you´ll get to a good decision, I hope. : )
