my beloved family

A family composes of the parents; mother and father, and child/children. Usually, they have 4-6 members of the family. We are just 3; my mom, my dad, and me. We’re supposed to be 5 but, unfortunately, my two older siblings (no one ever knew what their gender was) died of miscarriage. I can say, maybe we will be a lot happier if they’re alive. How I wish they were because it’s hard to be the only child. I’m really wondering why others wish to be the only child. It’s not fun, for me.

            You can say that we’re just like the other usual families; the father works and provides for the family, the mother stays at home and takes care of the baby (or child) and the child makes the family happy. Well, in our case, my parents both work for our living. They are both teachers; my mom is an elementary teacher and my dad is a high school teacher. I can’t stop wondering, they are both math majors, how about me? *insert sad face here* Oh well, just don’t mind that. As I was saying, my family has enough income. I even have my savings in the bank (I worked hard for it. I never ate at school!!!). Well, we are just staying here in Naic because this is nearer to school than our own house in Dasmariñas. My parents say we need to sacrifice in order for me to graduate in a nice school.

                        I can’t say that my family is perfect. We also have problems like the other families have. We also fight and shout at each other (but of course I respect them. Duh! ) but we make sure that our problems are resolved as much as possible. I admire my mom because even though my dad is doing such things to her, she manages to smile and be strong. I asked her why and she just answered “I simply just don’t want you to have a broken family. I can do anything honey, anything just for you”.
