we are somewhat an extended family here minus a father because my parents have decided to live separately by choice. yes my mother has filed an annulment but as of now i dont what is happening with the case.
we are 3 inside the house. one is my grandmother who lives with us here at home. me and my mother.
other people who we consider as part of the family are my nanny and my grandmother's care giver..
how about you?
are you having an extended or nuclear family?

There are six of us in my family.
Father, Mother, Me, 2nd Sister, 3rd Sister and the baby sister.
What's make my family quite special is that my parents are from different country. We live in Singapore and my father is a local.
My mother is from Taiwan and she becomes the permenant resident in singapore. Therefore, my relatives are spread out from Singapore to Taiwan. It is quite amazing that my family can spread out that far.
I remember when i was a small child and my father is still serving as a navy officer, we get to sit airplane and travel to Tawian to visit my grandmother and cousins. It is so much fun during that time.
If i count everyone from what i know, i think there will be around 20 people in the circle. However, i think my circle of relatives are quite a small amount.
However, it is just my family members and i didn really bother about the numbers. They are my family relatives.

We are 6 in the family. My mom, dad, and 3 siblings. We stay on the same building though but we have our own flat. We find it more convenient so each of us will learn from living independently.
It's a good way I guess, we do our own laundry, work for our own and pay our own bills. Quite challenging when I started it but I learned the value of living and making things work.
