Pretty sneaky tips that always work for me ;)

• Try begging, pleading, threatening and bribing.
  
• Crying also works well too.
  
• Ask for more than you want, e.g. if you wanted new clothes and CDs, ask for new clothes, CDs AND a hair cut so you can say, 'Well I'll make you a compromise. If you get me clothes and CDs, I won't get my hair cut.' Then they think they got a good deal :D
  
• Play one parent off against the other. For example, say to your mum 'Dad says I can have it' and to your Dad, 'Mum says I can have it'.
  
• If your mum says ask your dad, or vice versa, you pretty much have it :D
  
• Offer to do something in return e.g. tidy up, get good grades etc.
  
• Never say, 'My friend has it it's not fair I want it.' Hardly ever works, unless your parents are the sort that want you to be better than anyone else or have more stuff :)
  
• Say, 'I'll pay you back', then immediately after you get paid from your job or whatever, immediately go to your parents and say, 'Here you go. Have my money that I only just earned.' (put a brave, charitable look on your face when you say it). Guaranteed to pull at the heartstrings. They'll most likely say, 'Oh no, it's okay', which is your cue to say, 'No honestly, I owe you,' and then they'll say, 'No no. It's your money. You just earned it,' and then promptly forget all about the money you owe.
  
  Thanks Gem for the following!
  
  1.On purpose hide something that belongs to your parents.
  2.When they wonder where it has gone, offer to find it in exchange for something.
  3.Pretend to look everywhere for it.
  4.Say:"I think you left it in the _____ room," (not the room you hid it).
  5.When they go into another room, take it out and scream:
  "I FOUND IT I FOUND IT! NOW DO I GET MY ........?"
  They are certain to say "Ok". Note: this also works well if you are seeking revenge on your parents; just don't 'find' the item afterwards haha.
  
  1.Ask for something you want.
  2.When they say "no; do your chores first" just say:
  "I never do my chores befor .......(lunch maybe?) I get so .....(dirty from the dusty room?)"
  3.Paerents are sure to say alright, after ......
  4.Then, they usually forget.
  
  What to do if you get grounded/banned from something
  1.DO NOT ARGUE! Arguing usually makes the matter worst - even if it ISN'T fair.
  2.Go to your room for little while and chill out.
  3.Then, when your parents come out, smile at them sweetly and say (usually works for lil kids):
  "So, mommy, what was your day like? I've been a good ...... and done my homework"
  4.Their usual reaction is to say: "You HAVE been a good ....! Was I too harsh on you, honey?" (go with it) "Please don't ....... again.I will let you off this time, but not next time,"
  5.By the next time you do it, they probably will have forgotten.
