Why is your mom not giving money for a new game system?- Because they’re expensive. It’s not easy to shell out $200. Parents can’t always give their kids new game systems, there are other expenses. And game systems take time away from school. If it’s a PS, Xbox, Wii, whatever… more time in front of the TV, less time doing homework, chores, etc. Your mom isn’t really being unfair, IMO. You said “One of my game systems is broken” so you have more than one. The fact that you even have at least one game system is a big deal. There are lots of kids out there who don’t have any, their parents can’t afford it.
Were your cousins graduating from high school or the fifth grade? There’s a BIG difference. Seriously? Presents for fifth grade graduation? It’s more of an obligation for your mom to give money… especially if it’s for high school graduation.
I’m not trying to put you down here. I just think you really need to look at what you have and appreciate it. Try to help your mom out with the chores. It doesn’t mean you have to cook and be a maid. But clean your room and the common areas. Realize that almost all Pakistani girls go through this. But I do think it’s wrong for your cousin to say that to you and you need to talk to both of your parents about this. Mention that your cousins might be getting encouragement from your mother to say such things and it’s hurtful. And don’t be so down
