What's better round trampoline or rectangular trampoline?

Trouble with a trampoline??? I WANT one so badly, mom keeps saying no, but without a good reason! Pls help!!!!?

  • So, I REALLY want a trampoline. The one i was looking at is like $326, ya ik ik its expensive. Usually on gifts for my bday about $100 dollars is spent($20 from each family member). Then for my bday party w/ friends and whatever else we do, is like another $100 spent. So thats equivalent to $200. Then I have $70 dollars saved, so thats $270, I only need $50. Then maybe my parents could pay $50. This would be like a present from evweryone and including a birthday party. The problem, my mom is practically refusing to get me one. Mom's Reasoning: 1. We said no to your 2 sisters, it would be unfair if we said yes to u(asking for trampoline 2. I blessed the ground when it was gone 3. Everyday there was an injury(over exaggeration) 4. Its not safe and I will always have to look after you 5. Youll never use it 6. You will go out more often & only use it for like a year 7. I HATE them My reasoning 1. I proved that wrong- I aksed my sisters and they said tehy didnt care as long as they could use it(which of course i would let them). It is fair. 2. We had the trampoline when I was like 5. Give us another chance 3. Ill be outside more often 4. It gives me exercise. 5. I will use it ALL the time 6. I will use it for more than a year 7. I wont be the only one on it, I'll invite friends over 8. We are more muture now, and know what is reasonable to perform on a trampoline and whats not 9. We wont do crazy flips and that crap 10. It will ahve a net, so thats safer- no one will fall off 11. We are older- we can take care of ourselves 12. The money is basically payed as a birthday present & party 13. Im contributing $70, IF NOT MORE! 14. Its the only thing I want for my birthday 15. Ill be on the computer less 16. I wont be as lazy 17. It gets me out of the hosue if ur annoyed w/ me or want me gone for an hour or 2, etc. 18. ITS FUN! 19. It would be for all 3 of us(me, and my 2 sisters) 20. I know how to use one. 21. I LOVE them She honestly wont give me a good answer why besides its unfair, which my sisters both say its fair. What else can I try? How can i convince even more? Any ideas? And if your going to say 'learn to except no' or 'respect your parents descision', dont waste your time answering because it will have no affect on me. Thanks. ANY advice is welcome!

It is expensive. Why can't you accept it? And they said no to your sisters, why should they say yes to you? You and your sisters save up, speak to them then. Respect them.

I visited a family who had dug out a huge hole & put the trampoline in it. This way if the child fell they would only fall just an inch or two. I had never seen anything like that. http://www.trampolinesafety.com/before-you-dig-in-ground-trampolines The thing is if you get a trampoline it will make your home insurance go up. Can you afford to pay your parents monthly payments to cover that? I seriously doubt you can.

We have one. We've had it for 6 years and we're replacing it next month. No one has broken anything. A few friction burns and I (somehow) managed to get one foot over the bar and one foot between the springs and THAT was painful, I actually couldn't speak). We thought it would be a fad, I use it every day night for at least an hour. It helps with my SPD. It's fun, good cardio. And you can get nets so you don't fall off...

My neighbor had a trampoline and I was convinced it was the greatest invention ever. Your parents have pretty much made up their minds. I don't know what else you can do but prove them wrong on every con they have to get you one. Maybe if you show them that aren't any issues they'll let you get one. As for you hurting yourself, that happens sometimes but just get a net so you won't fall off. Maybe make a slide show to prove why you want one, how it will be beneficial, and why they should let you have one.

I love trampolines myself, but I've excepted I'll never have one due to our backyard being too hilly. That being said, you DO need to learn and expect a no unless you pay for ALL of it and somehow find a way to take responsibility for injuries.
