It is hard for me to describe what happened during my trip to Martha's Vineyard because I am hesitant to reveal details from my privacy. My trip was finished in a bad way and I will try to be as unbiased as possible while explaining the reasons for my short stay in my aunt's house.
First of all, I didn't know my aunt well. I met her only few times and I always spent a few days with her, but we were surrounded by other people all the time and we didn't really get to know each other. When she invited me to Martha's Vineyard to spend summer holidays there and I accepted her invitation we didn't consider the fact that even though we were close relatives we didn't know much about each other.
The Martha's Vineyard island is a wonderful place. It is a holiday resort for rich people. However, there is nothing to do except going to the beach. There are no possibilities to go out in the evening and enjoy the nightlife. All my friends know that I love sea and I am always happy to spend holidays on the beach, but I was a bit disappointed that there was were only small towns, beaches and lighthouses (and skunks).
My aunt used to work as a cleaner in the houses of rich people and I was helping her. She shared her income with me in a fair way as she gave me the half of the money earned. We often went to Thrift shop where she was working too and I chose some clothes there. She lived with her boyfriend in a small house with three rooms and I was sleeping in the living room on the sofa.
As I said, the conflicts between me and my aunt started very soon after my arrival. I felt deprived of my privacy because she and her boyfriend used to get up at 7am and go to sleep at 9pm. When I wanted to use the computer in the evening she told me that I was disturbing her because the house had thin walls and she could hear the noise. I told her I didn't imagine my holidays in this way. I considered myself to be an adult and she considered me to be a disobedient child. My aunt was overbearing and I was stubborn so I didn't want to comply with her requirements.
I sent an e-mail to my mother and told her that my aunt commanded me and I would like to return home. I forgot to delete the e-mail from the computer and my aunt found it and was furious. We had some arguments together but we decided soon that it would be the best solution if I returned back home soon. I think we were all relieved that I left. My stay on the Martha's Vineyard island lasted only 2 weeks.
haha that is how all aunties are ;(
