My Agent…is My Mom!

Posted at 11:39AM Nov 19, 2008 by Mac in Talent Advice

My mother is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, so you can imagine how hard it is to negotiate things like curfews. The lady is used to winning! So how do I deal with Mama Armstrong? It’s easy…most of the time, I’m super obedient. I save my battles for what reeeeeally matters, like getting the Inner Circle invited to premiere parties. Or getting Emily a major movie audition.

What about you? Got any tips for negotiating with your parents?

Drop hints like crazy when ou want something- like ' Mom did you know that owning an Iphone will raise my Vitiman C level?' Or lik 'Dad did you see the new Wii fit? You can work out without going to a gym!' Also learning how to cry on cue is very good advice! Hail Vote Mac for social chair! I''m sooo mac!

don't beg for stuff immediately. most parents dont like that. before you ask for something make an effort like clean your room our do chores without asking, offer to watch siblings for free if you have any. then once your done then start the hints like "wow i've worked so hard, hey did you know that the iphone(random thing) is on sale...?" it usually works and my mom is not easy to get around.
