Family #06

If I were not related to my family members, I would still choose these three as my friends:

• my mom
• cousin Cissy
• aunt Annie

If I had to imagine my siblings as animals, they would be invisible. Stupid question again...

Something I wish for my mother is that she gets everything she wants. That she can relax now and enjoy life again with lots of new and old friends.

Something I wish for my father is some true happiness. That he finds himself again and realizes that there's more to life than what he thinks now.

Family #05

Something my parents did that I have never forgiven is that they gave away my toy cars and let me give away my other toys which are back into coolness these days and I "had" them... What would it take for you to forgive them? Nothing, it's unforgivable. Just kiddin' I don't play with toy cars anymore, I drive cars now ;)

If I had to imagine my mother as an animal, she would be a lion. Strong and independent though caring for her family. If I had to imagine my father as an animal, he would be an ant. Lifts weight several times his own and works hard and individual (too hard).

Me and my siblings share in common is not having any siblings... A trait I do not share with my siblings... stupid question.

My favorite relative is my mom. Because all of the above/beneath. I shared everything with her, she knows me best and she's always there for me.

My least favorite relative is the one which talks trash about my mom after her divorcing my dad. They gossip a lot without tracing their stories to be true or not.

Family #04

If they were not available, I would choose these two famous people as my mother and my father:

• Mother: Angelina Jolie
  
• Father: Takashi Murakami

Do I think I said "I love you" enough to my mother? Yes
Do I think I said "I love you" enough to my father? No
Has my mother told me that she loves me enough? Yes
Has my father told me that he loves me enough? No, and now it's awkward when he does.

My mother often said: "nee heb je, ja kun je krijgen" (you already have a no, you can receive a yes, which means that if you don't ask you'll get nothing) and "kan ik niet ligt op het kerkhof en wil ik niet ligt ernaast" (I can't is ten feet underground and I won't is next to him, which means that you'll always have to try something at least once).

My father often said: "ask your mother" and "yes" to everything I asked. I could get the stupidest things (unless my mother found out before).

Whom do I resemble physically? More my mother, but not a lot I believe.

Family #03

When I was a child, my parents spent enough time with me. My mother more, my father worked a lot.

The most common issue me and my parents have argued about is the time I should be back home after going to a club.

My most beautiful childhood memory of my parents is not one thing in particular. I had a normal childhood without any violence and I was a quite child mostly reading a book or drawing things.

My most horrifying childhood memory of my parents is the arguments between them sometimes. When they had one it could be very quite for days in our house. No one would speek... I always felt awkward.

If I didn't know my parents, I would choose these two people as my mother and my father: Yes, I would definitely choose my mom to be my mom again, I might choose some one else as a father, except when that happens I would not be here as I am now. So, that's a dilemma.

Family #02

Three things I dislike about my mother:

1. she smokes (a lot)
2. she talks very loud (she doesn't hear so well)
3. she doesn't listen to me like she used to when I lived at home

Three things I dislike about my father:

1. he denies he's sick and rejects any help from others
2. he doesn't come trough anymore
3. he makes me cry ones in a while because I worry about him

Which question felt easier to answer? The one about my mother again. Because I'm crying right now due to answering the question about my father.

Character or physical traits I inherited from my father: I have the same birthmark on the same place on my belly like he has. Sometimes I bottle things up like he does.

Family #01

Three things I like about my mother:

1. she is always there for me
2. she is a really good person by heart, she's there for everyone
3. she is a really strong woman, I hope to grow up just like her

Three things I like about my father:

1. he used to be there for me
2. he always took the time to explain difficult things in a way everyone would understand
3. he used to be there for others in need

Which question felt easier to answer? The one about my mother because we're closer. My father is sick now for several years, that's why I talk in the past about him. He's not the same man I used to know anymore...

Character or physical traits I inherited from my mother: I can not and don't want to lie. When I'm angry I get quite. You can't get us angry very easily. And physical maybe the nose and the large forehead.
