I'm living in Lisbon (Portugal) right now with my family because of my dad's job. We just recently moved here at the beginning of the summer from Denver, CO. I just found out that he was offered another transfer opportunity to Madrid. I am not unhappy here in Lisbon by any means, but I'm definitely not comfortable yet still seeing as I don't know Portuguese.
I want my dad to take this option to move us to Madrid because
A) My siblings and I speak Spanish and we could make friends faster and assimilate into the culture quicker than we are currently in Lisbon.
and, B) I have close friends in Madrid already as do my parents
There will be no difference in pay and the company is going to compensate for the move so I don't see any reason why we shouldn't just move to Madrid since that would be easier.
How do I present this to my dad in a responsible way that he would seriously consider and not just see it as a teenage university student whining :) ?
Thanks.
