My dad is an old school kind of guy.
He has always been really tough on me and my sisters.
When I say he is an old school guy, I don’t mean that he is a cruel guy. He really does want the best for us but sometimes he came across as cold. When we were younger we weren’t allowed to go shopping or do anything elaborate for our birthdays. We also never went on family vacations because my dad didn’t want to spend money on things that aren’t necessities. He didn’t think we needed cars so we always rode our bikes everywhere and we never ate dinner at restaurants. I know this may seem crazy to some people, but that was just the way my dad was. One thing he is really particular about was replacing old appliances. One thing he won’t replace is the air conditioner. The air conditioner in my families home has not worked properly in about three years. However, my dad thinks that he can get away without calling a HVAC company for another couple of years. I think he should have called the HVAC company about two years ago, but I don’t think my dad will ever change his ways. He called me last week and said the air conditioner finally gave out completely so he had to make the call to the HVAC company. The company said his cooling system needs to replaced all together, but I don’t think my dad is going to do anything about it. He said he might just get portable fans for all the bedrooms and call it a day.
