Ok, this is part 2. This is the part where I express my feelings about my summer vacation with my dad. 4 days have been since my vacation started and I can't stop expressing the fact that I feel the same I felt 2 years ago, this same date, but on a different place. I feel trapped and with no escape at all. I know it's sad to say this, but it's just that my ideal vacation is far from being my dad's ideal vacation. He's the type of person who likes to stay in one place the whole time and feels reluctant when having to share some time with other people that he even might know. He likes to "know" me and my bro.
I feel so bad writing this while he's next door, but I guess I have to express my feelings some way.
Coming on a vacation with my dad after I've grown up makes me realize that it's no use for me to keep coming and sharing the supossed "2-weeks-of-sharing-a-lovely-time-together (my dad, my bro and me)" while these aren't vacation to me. For one thing the-sharing-all-the-time-we-can-together it's not what I like. I'm like a bird, I'm independent and I like to have a time to do whatever I like to do, without thinking on somebody else or if somebody would like it or not. I like to have my own freedom, and not having to spend 24/7 with my family. I love them, but it's just that sometimes I feel suffocated by this concept of vacation.
On the other hand, the place we chose this year is great. I really like it here, but since he's the kind of guy that spends the 90% of the time in the hut or nearby. He doesn't like coming downtown or going to the beach, which I think is the opposite of me.
I really think he's having trouble acknowledging I'm 21 and that my bro's 24. We're old enough to decide whether we like something or not, and in my case, I think I might not go to any other vacation in the near future with my dad. I've had it up here!

Bueno Fran, ¿qué te puedo decir?
Sabes, creo que en estos momentos lo mejor es mirarle el lado bueno a las cosas. Conversando con personas mayores uno se da cuenta que a pesar de las pequeñas molestias que puede significar pasar las vacaciones en familia, a la larga son estos momentos los que más perduran en la memoria.
Porque en el fondo tu papá no va a vivir para siempre, y estoy segura de que cuando ya no lo tengas más a tu lado, es cuando vas a añorar los días que pasaron juntos en el verano...cuando él te sacaba de vacaciones.
Y por último, aún si esto no te consuela, déjame decirte que yo daría lo que fuera porque mi papá me sacara de paseo a alguna parte...pero la verdad es que a veces tengo que llamarlo para recordarle que tiene dos hijas que a veces siguen necesitando de él, sin importar cuán mayores e independientes seamos ahora (because, hello! I'm 21 too!).
So honey, you should realize how lucky you're of having a dad like that! Mine doesn't even bother to invite me anywhere, even if I know he's been at the beach with his new family.
Qué te puedo decir Vale....
Creo que tienes la razón en muchas cosas, y son cosas muy verdaderas, pero hay otras en las cuales no concuerdo.
Yo creo que en 30 años más, cuando mi viejo ya no esté, recordaré todo lo de las vacaciones, TODO, las cosas buenas y las malas también.
Ahora, yo creo q a las 2 nos han tocado vivir cosas totalmente lo opuestas y honestamente creo q compararlas no es lo mas correcto. Son tan disntintas y a la vez lo mismo: a ti tal vez te gustaria tener algo (y sólo algo, porque le resto no te gustaría)de lo que yo tengo, pero a mi también me gustaria tener algo de lo que tu no tienes.
Por ahora Vale, disfruta tanto de lo que tienes como de lo que no puedes tener, justo lo que yo estoy tratando de hacer, porque believe me, it's hard! you have no idea of what i'm going through.
Honey, enjoy february and Karen too. C u next sunday!
Kiss kiss,
F
PS: btw, I invited Patrick and his friends to our meeting next sunday, i hope u don't mind.
