First off this is kinda long so be ready. Ok so basically I have been wanting to go to this store that is a 30 min drive from my house. Well I need my mom to drive me. Seems pretty simple right well she will only take if I start being a little more nice and respectful. Thing is at first she put It till the end of this week , ( since we got into an argument she set it to whenever). So being my curious self I asked today and in a rude tone she says whenever again and I go down my hall way say F#$@. She calls me a few names same thing with me. Now she won't take me at all. Plus I stayed up til 6 am doing dishes and kissing her ass. Also if you were going to ask if I get my models online. No I can't because she won't let me get online to get the stuff. Basically i can't play Warhammer anymore cause I'm in the midst of building a army. What do you think?

?

Respect your parents. They do more than you realize at this stage in your life. It will get you far.

Don't expect favours from your parents, see them as a bonus.

I think I agree with your mother.

Exactly what do you want our help with? we cant exactly drive you.

Oh well enjoy your weekend doing more chores.

Yep, on her side.

Ok you guys were helpful

And blood I'm asking for advice brilliance

You know your mom better then us. Any advice you get here should be taken with a grain of salt. She holds all the cards in this situation, so you need to play by her rules. Try to see things from her POV. Be good, be respectfull, and work on your timing.

If my son asks for something before I'm done with my morning coffee, he's more likely to get a "no". If he nags incessently, also a no, even if I was inclined to say yes. Throwing fits (thankfully behind us mostly) was another instant out. If he springs questions on The Wife when she gets home before she has time to take her shoes off and sit down, he gets a no.

Just doing chores is probably not enough. I don't know how your house is set up, but things like dishes are often a baseline level of help that's expected. If you want to score points, you need to go above and beyond.

As for getting more warhammer, what has been forbidden specifically? Just online and the local shop? Or all purchases? If the former, could a friend grab stuff for you? Might be hard in the summer, but workable during the school year. If you are totally banned, getting your mom happy is the only option.

I'm mildly amused his username is trollio14.

Stay in school, don't do drugs, respect your parents.

Make her a cup of tea/coffee and a plate of biscuits, ask her about her day and carefully bring the conversation around to the subject of war gaming.
Might take a couple of tries, but it tends to work.
