Family life

I come from a small family. Unfortunately, I’m an only child and I haven’t got any brothers or sisters. I live with my parents and my grandma, who is a pensioner. There are four people in our family: my grandma, my mother, my father and me. My father is 46 years old, he is an IT specialist. My mother is 55 and she is a manager. My ma is a short, average woman. She is very careful of her appearance. My father is tall and stout. I get on quite well with my parents. They trust me and let me do what I want, thus they give me a lot of freedom. They treat me like an adult and I can always turn to them for any help or advice. At the weekends, we go and visit those members of the family who don’t live with us. My grandfather died seven years ago but my grandma is still alive. She is eighty years old and lives with us. We all love her cooking, especially her cakes. I quite often see my grandparents. My father has got a sister and my mum too. This means that I have got two aunts and they both have children. They are my cousins.

• friendship
• fellow students and colleagues
• partners 

Friendship is very important in my life because my friends are my second family. 

I have lots of friends: one of them was my classmate at primary school, some of them 
were my classmates at secondary school, one of them was my colleague at my first workplace 
and the majority is known by my husband for 6 years. I think these friendships are 
the strongest because adults take their friends more seriously especially they have children.
We meet at weekends to play the children together and sometimes – especially on birthdays 
and namedays - we go to pubs to talk each other and to celebrate.

Partner relationships are important too. I keep in touch with my ex-lovers nowadays we’re friends.
 We meet rarely but we often call each other and we talk about our present-days. 
Although we couldn’t agree together, nowadays we can talk about everything. It’s very interesting!
