Blogging Challenge - Part 04 - Day 28
The greatest shame that ever happened to you?
As I said in the previous post, my parents are very controlling, to an almost extreme level.
Once it happened to me, for my promtrip, which was quite an event to be able to go, and I had to go with my mom as a chaperone, they didn't want me to do the activities.
To put it in context, the promtrip is a trip that the graduating classes take when they graduate from high school, there are companies that are dedicated to prepare an itinerary of activities, so that the whole class goes to a hotel, a weekend, to swim at the beach, do activities and visit nightclubs at night ... yes, it's all alcohol and doom, but it is a stage that young people must go through.
Turns out, besides the fact that my mom forced me to sleep with her (there were only 6 parents, out of 76 students, and they all had their individual rooms) they didn't even want me to go to the discos at night, because I was a few months away from being a senior... one thing that was a closed activity for promotion.
Well, it turns out that one of the nights I threw a tantrum because I wanted to go at night, and since they didn't give me permission I went to the beach alone, and I disappeared. I didn't answer my cell phone or anything, the one who came to convince me not to be alone was my boyfriend. After a while my parents agreed that I could go with mommy (no daddy went to the discotheques) and when they convinced me to go with her, they were all waiting for me at the bus stop. And EVERYONE saw the show. All that was left was for the earth to swallow me up.
And you know what is the nicest thing of all?
That I did and undid everything I wanted, with all its obstacles... so, if you are a parent, and you are reading this, don't control your children so much, the tighter you have the rope, the harder they are going to hit the wall when you let go.
If you want to forbid something to your child, don't waste your time, your child is going to do what he/she wants.
And now, you tell me What has been your biggest embarrassment?. That's all for now. Thank you very much for joining me in this little corner of tripode, I hope you have a wonderful day, I hope to see you again soon... and remember, good vibes always..
Blogging Challenge - Part 04 - Day 28
¿La mayor vergüenza que le ha ocurrido?
Como decía en el post anterior, mis padres son muy controladores, a un nivel casi extremo.
Una vez me pasó, para mi promtrip, que además que fué todo un evento poder ir, y tuve que ir con mi mamá de acompañante, no querían que hiciera las actividades.
Para entrar un poco en contexto, el promtrip es un viaje que hacen las promociones cuando se gradúan del colegio, hay empresas que se dedican a preparar un itinerario de actividades, para que todo el curso se vaya a un hotel, un fin de semana, a bañarse en la playa, hacer actividades y visitar discotecas en la noche... sisisi, es todo alcohol y perdición, pero es una etapa que deben pasar los jóvenes.
Resulta, que además de que mi mamá me obligó a dormir con ella (fueron solo 6 padres, de 76 estudiantes, y todos tenían sus habitaciones individuales) no querían ni que fuera a las discotecas en las noches, porque me faltaban algunos meses para ser mayor... una cosa que era una actividad cerrada para la promoción.
Pues bueno, resulta que una de las noches hice unas rabietas porque quería ir en la noche, y como no me dieron permiso me fuí a la playa sola, y me desaparecí. No respondí celular ni nada, el que vino a convencerme de que no estuviera sola fué mi novio. Después del rato mis padres cedieron a que podía ir con mami (ningún papá fué a las discotecas) y cuando me convencieron de ir con ella, todos estaban esperándome en la parada de guagua. Y TODOS, vieron el show. Ya solo quedaba que me tragara la tierra.
¿Y sabes que es lo más lindo de todo?
Que y hice y deshice todo lo que quise, con todas sus trabas... asi que, si eres padre, y estas leyendo esto, no controles tanto a tus hijos, mientras más apretada tienes la soga, más fuerte se van a dar contra la pared cuando la sueltes
Si le quieres prohibir algo a tu hijo, no pierdas tu tiempo, tu hijo va a hacer lo que quiera.
Y ahora, cuéntame tú ¿Cuál ha sido tu mayor verguenza?. Esto es todo por ahora. Muchas gracias por acompañarme en este pequeño rincón de tripode, espero que pases un maravilloso día, ojalá te vuelva a ver pronto... y recuerda, buenas vibras siempre.
