I Always Get My Way

To get / have one's way means to want something out of a situation. It usually has to be agreed to by someone else, perhaps an authority figure, so the person who wants it doesn't have total control of the outcome.

Example:

#1) They always let their daughter have her way and it's turning her into a spoiled child.

#2) You can't always get your way in this life, so stop complaining.

#3) I wanted to transfer to a new office in the company, but I didn't get my way and stayed in the old office.

#4) My parents didn't want me to travel abroad, but I earned my own money and finally got my way by paying for the trip myself .
