Question

How can I guilt trip my parent into getting a pet?

Community Answer

If you're an only child, tell them you're lonely because you don't have any siblings. If you've ever had a pet before and it has since died, casually mention how much you miss that pet, and how nice it was to have an animal in the house. If your parents have done anything wrong lately (i.e. forgot to pick you up from somewhere, or missed one of your games, performances, etc. they said they'd go to), try to find a way to use that in your guilt trip without making it too obvious what you're doing.
