Groovy
 * Then perhaps you should’ve just asked them for the money they owe you directly, instead of asking them to buy it for you. If they’d askd what you were going to spend it on, then you could’ve just told them you’d want to spend it on a ukulele & that you’d be buying it with money that is rightly yours. They might’ve gotten mad at you about it, but at the end of the day it is your money & usually parents cede that with time. Now, I think it is a bit too late because your parents seem to be in a tight spot monetarily, so it would probably be best to wait a month & then broach it again, only from the angle of using your own money to buy it. Be sure to have the price range on you just in case, it might help. If you do it this way, then you aren’t asking for something, you are simply collecting on debt, & normally people feel obligated to pay their debts (or at the very least they will feel guilty about not paying it for long enough that they’ll eventually cave).

 * You’re welcome :) You just gotta keep trying. Some ways of doing things are easier than others, but at the end of the day you have to be willing to try try try, practice practice practice. It really is the best way to succeed at whatever it is you are attempting, & no matter how many times you fail you just have to keep getting back up again. As for your grammy, why can’t you talk to her about it? You could always say it’s a guy you’re trying to date, I’m sure she’d love to help you then.
