My other brother that is way older than me. He is married and lived his own life. Now at home I live with my two older sister and three brothers. My brothers and sisters are sometimes annoy me. They often bully me but I don’t care. My parents are very nice especially my mum. She cares for us a lot. In our family when there is nothing to do, we go over to our cousins house or go to the beach, or somewhere relaxing. In our family we respect the elder's and they would do the same for you. We also respect our brothers and sisters. I am not allowed to talk back to my brothers and sisters. We are also not to talk back to our parents. Every year we always have a family meeting. I like my family because they are very fun and supportive. I am very thankful to have them In my life.
