Best to have a plan in your head first...she's going to ask questions. So far all you know is you want a party and you want 20 kids. Not enough info.

When are you wanting to have it? From what time to what time?
What kind of foods and supplies are you thinking of serving?
Who's going to pay for all of this?
Who's going to clean the house and get it ready? Or are you having it outside?
Who's going to be responsible for clean up, taking out the trash, putting the party area back together?
What kind of activities are going to take place at this party?
Can everyone be trusted to behave....no alcohol, no drugs?

Do not make a fuss when they say they want to chaperone and peek in to check on everyone.
Have a "party plan" to run by her and then say, "Mom...I have a request, can we sit down so I can have a few minutes of your time?" Then explain the details. If it's "we can't afford it"...then have a "Plan B">>>see if your friends would be willing to do a potluck and everyone bring something and you create the list of needed food/drink items.

Tell Mom you'd be willing to put together the food items with her help so that you can learn more about "social skills" (gotta flatter her and also involve her ...you need her help!). And if she says "Yes"..then make good on your promises and thank her with a nice hug and a kiss.

I'm a mom...and I've heard it all ;).



I think you should bring your best friend, or a girl/boy that your mom approves of. Bring him/her to you mom and ask politely to have a party. I like the potluck idea. If your mom says no, explain that it is really important to you. Have your friend chip in a few words too. If your mom still says no, then just ask once more nicely, but if she still says no, have your friend look downcast. Another way is to just have your friend approach her by his/herself. Good luck!



Grab a friend that will help you host, and while shes out, clean the whole house, wash the car or something along those lines. then ask her together. Don't beg or whine. Parents hate that, and if she says no, look disappointed but don't complain or she won't let you have one next time you ask.



Give your mom a special gift sometime.Maybe she will ask you if you want any other gift as a reward.
hehe,you can say and she will agree you. I have tried once,it did so.



Parents don't like being asked questions with another kid in front of them. When are the people here going to learn that? How are 20 people going to fit in the house?



I would go with another girl your mom is already taken



U: MOM CNA I HAVE A PARTY?
