“The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together”.
-Erma Bombeck

These are the people we will spend our life forever. Even though, we encounter great difficulties like financial problems, strict and overprotective parents, misunderstandings with siblings, household chores, and so on and so forth. Our list may go on forever, but we should always remember that in every after storm, these people are still the one that would remain by our sides and would never turn their backs away from us. This is not only one of the reasons why we should love and treasure them. We owe our lives to our parents , if it wasn’t because of them, we would have never been born in the very first place.

What you should do when these situations happen?

1.You are scolded by your parents for coming home late.
- if you really have to come home late for doing projects or for practices, make sure that you have informed well your parents or even your siblings of your whereabouts ( where you are, what you are doing, and what possible time you are going home ) . Remember that they are only concerned to you.

2. You had a fight with your siblings.
- This is very normal especially with a big family. Try to understand and talk to your sibling and if you know that you are the one in fault, try to apologize. Remember that your siblings will always be there for you no matter what happens and by the time you grow up, you’ll just laugh at these quarrels and miss them.

3. You are the one assign to do a household chore but unfortunately you forgot to do it or you came home late. That’s why your sibling ended up doing it which resulted to her temper rising up.
- There’s only one solution to that…… apologize. Though it may seem redundant, it’s the best and the most effective way. Try to let her understand that you didn’t mean it. And don’t forget, try to be sincere.
