My Family Part 2

As I mentioned in the previous post I am the role model in the family. Only the best is expected out of me. It is my job to show everyone that you can accomplish so much more with an education than without one. Charlie tells me that it is ok to let things fall once in a while. You can always pick them back up, but it is easier said than done.

Then there is my brother J and Ir, and their 2 daughters, May the oldest and Na the youngest. By the way she is only 3 months old. He is the loudest one in the family. He must always be the center of attention. Every where we go he has to be heard. He doesn't care who is around. If he knows that your boss or someone important is around then it gives him even more reason to be loud. Gotta love him. He must have gotten this from being spoiled so much before A and the twins were born. You see he was the only boy and the youngest. So he was the man of the house or so he thought, still does though. He likes to carry the aura of being the tough guy but we all know that underneath he really isn't. There is nothing he wouldn't do for his wife and his little girls. Besides Ir might be quite and calm but she will not stand for any of his stuff. She knows when to stand her ground.

Then there is A and the twins, An and Ad. An is the oldest. There is a 9 year difference between me and A. Yeah my mom waited a long time to have him. She wasn't planning on having another child after J but my dad wanted another boy. So she got pregnant and had A. He almost didn't make it and neither did she. On the day of his delivery the doctor told my dad that he would have to make a decision between my brother or my mom. I don't remember what was wrong. Luckily they both made it through. She didn't want to have any more children so she wanted to have her tubes. Apparently the operation didn't go well because a couple of months later the doctor told her that she was pregnant and was having twins. My mom could have killed the doctor. Not only was she pregnant after having her operation, she was having twins. Who would have known.

Well it is weird to say but my little brothers are little no more. A is already at Boise State and the twins are in their senior year of high school.

And in case you haven't noticed all of my sisters and brother's children are girls. Jan and Nat are 15 yr olds. You know they think that they know everything. But they have a good head on their shoulders. They will do well. Kar and Kry still have many years ahead of them considering they are 10 and 9 years old respectively. May is only 5 and is looking forward to starting school. I hope her desire to learn new things never goes away. Then there is Pri the 2 yr old who is no longer the baby because Na is the youngest now.

My family still keeps waiting for the boy. My sisters are done having kids, but I think my sister in law might have another child but that won't happen till about 3 more years, if it happens at all. My family keeps saying that I will most likely be the one to have the boy and I will probably have twins. I don't know considering I am not to fond of children. Don't get me wrong I like them and all but I would not like to have one myself. That motherly instinct has not gotten into me. Fadedgirl says that I will get it and will have kids. Who knows. I probably would because Charlie wants to have children. You know you have to reach a compromise in a relationship.

I have had my share of children around me. I helped take care of my brothers and my nieces. I just like having my freedom and not having to worry about another life. I know it sounds selfish but that is how I feel at this moment. I also feel that when you have a child you have to be ready to give up everything for that person. You do not matter anymore. Which also makes me think that you don't want anything bad to happen to them and you want to protect them but you can't. They do need to live their life and they have to grow up.

Seeing my brothers all grown up is kinda weird for me. They have always been and will be my younger brothers. I wish they could have no problems in this world and everything goes perfectly but I know they will go through their ups and downs. I will always try my best to help them as best as I can.

So this is my family. We are in no way perfect but we always try our best to help each other out and stick together. We have definitely become a stronger family. I know we're a large family but I wouldn't have it any other way. They just mean the world to me.
