some pleople tell me that i look more like my mom because she have a lot of freckles in her face, and i dont have many but i have in my nose, other people tell me that i look more like my father because they say that our nose is to similar.
i don't have brothers or sisters but i have a cousin that have a baby girl, she have 3 years and sometimes my cousin ask me the favor to look after her. I love her but sometimes she takes me out of control because she scream or cry so much.
I love my family and i have a very good relation with they.
I take after both, in personality I am very similar to my mom since i was lit te I like her attitude for things and I would like to be like she and from my dad is that I am very similar in physical traits.
From Monday to Friday I take care of my younger brother and on holidays I take care of my brother who lives in another city.
I get along with the part of my mom's family because they have given me the confidence to be able to count on them and I constantly make jokes with them.
i take after my mom because we have the same nose and i take after my dad because we have same color skin, and same hair form so i don't have to look after a younger brother or sister. yes i get on well with all my family however my close family are my parents, my brother, my cousin, and we always try to share on weekends.
many people close to me say that I look more like my mom than my dad, but other people say that I look like my dad, I have a younger sister and sometimes I have to take care of her because my parents are not in the house but they are already Very few times, I get along very well with my family, since I was very small I got along well with my cousins and uncles, the relationship with my parents is also very close
First, I think I take after my mum because, she and me, we are so similar, in every way, sometimes the people think that my mother is my sister because of our physical appearance, and also, in our temperament, on the other hand, I don't have sisters or brother, but I have younger cousins and sometimes I have to look after them, finally, I get on so well with my family because I love them, and of course, as I am the baby of the family, everybody love me, jé.
i take after my mom because we have the same color of eye, and when she was younger she used to has brown long hair, my skin is similar to her, my nose is like my mom and all the people say that i take after my mom because my father has black hair and brown eye. i have one brother and one sister but i'm the younger so i don't have to look after a younger brother or sister. yes i get on well with all my family however my close family are my parents, my brother, my sister, my cousin,my brother in law and we always try to share on weekends.
1. I take after both, I have a similarity in my eyes with my mom, also my hair is similar to her, with my dad I look like him body, intellectually i have learned things from both of my mom to be strategic and my dad to be bossy.
2. I have a sister and I have to look after of her casually, and sometimes she tries to look like me.
3. Before I do not do well with my family, but now I try to have a good relationship with them, I live with my dad my sister and my grandmother and sometimes we have discussions but the family has to be first, they trust in me and I in them, I try to do all things well and sometimes I do something different to improve the comunication between us.
Everybody, always says, that my mom and I really look alike, I´m desagree, because we are very different in the way of thinking, but I know that I take after my mother, all the facial expressions, and our faces are very similar, my movements look alike with her and other kind of things, I don´t like hang out with a little baby or a little child, they makes me crazy, I never accept to look after children. And for my family I really love them, they are my support in some difficul moments, and they are everything for me, but obviously in some cases we figth or discuss a lot.

Some times i need to look after my father, i think I´m more mature than him, and its hilarious!!!. idk why but i take on well with children. I think it is because i understand all kind of children problems, and i like tohelp them to not make the same mistakes that I made before. And I know that im doing it well, because their parents trust in me, and thats nice too!. in my family its the same, they say that im the best on a lot of thing, and i really feel great with it.
I take after my mom every body said that, my family is kind of wear but I have a good relationship with must of my cousins and uncles ofcourse i have a good relationship with mi mom an dad, i don´t have any sisters or brothers so that means I didn´t have to look after somebody.

2. not exactly a brother or sister but a looked after for a younger cousin when he was a baby, was an incredible experience, people thought that he was my son. haha!

i´m get on well with all my family, special with a cousin, is very cool with all the family, i don't have brothers and sisters, but i have an aunt that have two sons, and in some times she tells me to take care of them, are days that it is very nice to take care of them but there are but in some cases is so exhausting.
I take after my parents, in diferents things but a lot, my father is really good with the finances and i am too, and my mother is really responsable and i am too. I look after my younger sister, she is 6 years old and i love her, she always is playing, and always she makes me happy. All my family is very close and almost always we go out, and help ourselves.
I think that we take after our parents in most aspects like the humor or likes, my brothers are older than me, so i never had to look after them, they had to look after me and i take after my brothers too in some things, like my favourite kinf of music, and i get on well with all members of family

I get along very well with my family, with my uncles, aunts, cousins and brothers.

But most of time we are a loving family.

2) I have a little brother 4 years younger than me but also I have an older sister and brother, so my parents left one of them in charge of everbody.

My family are my two sisters and my mom and dad. I take after my dad a lot. I use some expressions like his and we have similar personalities. I have two sisters (one of them is older than me and the other one younger than me) and sometimes I need to look after her because I'm two years older. I love my family and we fight like every other family do but at the end of the day we support each other and we are very close.

my family is normal not very special but i love them very much.
It makes me feel happy and not be alone that i want to spend more time with them by making these memories which i can not forget , forever.
I take after my mom because she's great and so am I ! :P I don't have to look after my younger sister and brother. We get along great :)
Who do I take after??? The hardest question ever. Geez, solving math homework was easier! You know, like when I look into the mirror, I feel like I have zero connection to my parents. And yet those bulky second aunts, who visit often, pull my cheek and say that I take after my mom/dad. Gross, that makes me so angry. But I have no probs with my family. I'm the only child, and the most pampered too! But they are annoying sometimes! Oh, like they are now!! ;)))
