I come actually from extended family, I am one of the five siblings . But now I stay with my parents, all of my brother and sisters got married and lived in other cities. I am nearly 32 years old and a single guy looking for love right now. I take after my mother because I am so economic and serious about life. I look like my grandfather as I guess. All in all we have a really tight realationship to my family members, we always meet up with each other and doing some fun to make our lives interesting. So it is all about my family 😊 thanks for your attention and time to look through it patiently 😉 thank you Keith as well and wish you the best of luck with your job posting!

[ЮлияПрищепо-мх]

Hello Keith! Thanks a lot for your lesson! You are the best! I come from a small family. I was an only child. My father passed away 25 years ago. My mother is still alive. Bless her. I see my mother a lot. I look like my mother, but I take after my father. Mom and I have our differences. Sometimes we fall out, but then we make up. Anyway, I love her. And I'm sure we are a tightly knit family. I am a parent. I have a son. He is 9 years old. As a parent, I try not to be overprotective. But to be honest sometimes I can be overprotective. I'm working on it. I don't want to spoil my son.

Hello Keith, I come from a small family. There are four of us in our family. And I am the youngest child of the siblings. My elder sister and I have the differences so we always fall out but after some time we make up like nothing happened. I am the spitting image of my father but I take after my mother. They brought me up with good values. I love my family to bits and they mean the world to me.

In russian we have such phrases:
"An apple doesn't fall far from the apple tree" (Яблоко от яблони недалеко падает) which means that children will always inherit their parents' features.
"A seventh water on kisel'". (Седьмая вода на киселе) That phrase is used to describe a very very far relative. "Kisel" is traditional russian drink made of water, berry juice and starch. "A seventh water" means that the drink is very diluted.
"Come you, my droplet of blood " (Кровинушка ты моя) is used to describe deep parental love with a tinge of welcoming and also bitterness (for example in a moment of unity after a period of separation).
