Right now I am so mad at my mother. I asked her again today if I could purchase a DVD, and she said no again. I have $150 saved right now from my birthday money, and she asked me how much the DVD was. I told her that the Season 4 DVD was $23 dollars. We got into thie fight and she was telling me that I already taped a bunch of episodes from Season 4, so why do I need the DVD? I told her that there's a bunch of episodes they don't show on TVLand, missing tag scenes, and a bunch of extras.

Well, this is what really makes me mad that I just want to punch a hole in the wall. She told me to think about this for a few days, and pick one DVD to buy, because she won't let me buy another DVD for 6 - 8 MONTHS!!!

So, I need you guys to help me pick one good DVD that will last me for those months. God, I HATE my mother! You guys don't know how lucky you are. You can get any DVD's of John you want. But no, I can't get anything.

I'm %100 sure she won't unless I do something spectacular that will change her mind.

I would get season 4, because that has a bunch of episodes. I know you were thinking about "Real Men", but if you want a DVD that will last you 6-8 months, then season 4 is the best way to go since it has a bunch of episode, and "Real Men" is just one movie. Maybe you could get "Real Men" on eBay later on since they're usually cheaper there? Or, if you buy one from a seller on Amazon they have pretty good prices too. Maybe your mom will let you get it later once she sees the prices. Good luck.

Moonlight Lady · 06-12-2005, 12:56 PM

That sucks!...I'm really sorry Chels.

Here's a couple options.

Buy Season 4 now and then don't buy anymore dvd's til October, maybe she'll change her mind by the time 5 comes out and she'll let you buy it.

Buy season 4 now, Put Season 5 on your christmas list. By the time Christmas rolls around, six months have gone by. If you don't get it for Christmas, you can always get after Christmas, like on vacation or something.

If I ever have kids, i'm going to encourage them to buy Three's Company dvds

Ok, thanks so much for helping. It sucks for me so bad and I'm still mad, but I think Season 4 would be a good choice also. But in 6 - 8 months, a ton of other JR DVD's will be out, and I'll just be further behind in getting his DVD's.

Thanks so much Katie! I think I can do that. I told her though that Season 5 would already be out before 6-8 months. I guess the only way I could get her to get me another DVD early is if I save someone's life or something..

Man, if you ever want kids, PLEASE ADOPT ME!

Hey,

I agree with what everyone said here-- just get Season 4 first. Plus, you don't know how long it'll be around and you want to get all the seasons, right? I'd go with Season 4 then.

Plus, she never said you couldn't get other DVDs as gifts

Thanks for the help Kristel. But who would I get the gifts from? No holidays are coming up except for Christmas.

Number 9 Dream · 06-12-2005, 02:02 PM

You could just "happen" to receive a gift from your friends at school

Buy it yourself, wrap it, and claim your friends gave it to you as a gift..LOL just because they love you

Oh wow you're mom is really against you watching TC huh... My dad watches it with me because he likes it just as much, so he buys the dvd's for BOTH of us lol

I think that's a good idea. That was what I would say. I mean if she knows that you've waiting 4 months already then maybe that will be enough for her. Besides a lot could happen in 4 months. Maybe she'll even change her mind before then.

You send me Joyce and I'll send you all the DVDs you want.

Seriously, too bad you have to wait.

My parents like it too. I love it that my parents let me watch it as a kid.

I would love to have the movie Hero At Large. I can remember watching it when I was like 10 or 11 and it was good.

If you're serious about the Joyce thing, I'll start looking for her now!

Yeah I know it sucks. Only one DVD to hold me down for 6 months. Life just isn't fair..

Yeah my mom will watch TC with me sometimes. But not the SS episodes. She says that as soon as we get a dvd player she wants us to get the TC dvd's.

I'm so sorry Chelsea that you're mom is acting like this!!

Maybe you can do some stuff around the house or do something to help her out. And then after that, talk to her about how it's YOUR money. Explain that you have been working really hard and that you earn it. That's what I do with my mother.

Hang in there honey!!

If it makes you feel better, I don't have any of the Three's Company dvd's or any of John's old movies, or his comedy special...so you're lucky you have them!

We're all here for ya girl! Sometimes parents just don't understand teen girls and the things they go through. Trust me, it's like a battle everyday between my mother and me!
