To be totally honest with you, I hate to work with any person in my family, so I rather be self-employed or unemployed. So please let me talk about how I don’t want to work with anyone, although it’s not really match the problems. First is my father. He is one of the most controversial and hot tempered that I meet in this world. He only concentrates on his opinions, and when people talk about others’ opinions, they disagree with him. He will be angry and he will tell about, talk about all the risks if that person is not following his ideas. And you know, some of his arguments are so subjective and self-centered that I feel really frustrated to follow about my mother. She is contrast to my father. She is laid back and indecisive. That’s why my mother marries my father, because my father will decide everything. And my mother has followed some courses about teaching children about how to be a good wife, but she ends up doing nothing. She learns some things, but I don’t feel they are so practical, and she buys lots of books, but she rarely reads books. That’s why if I ask her anything, she will be really indecisive, and she avoids conflicts, so she will agree with me in everything. The last person is my sister. She is two years older than me, and she already has a job, but she still depends on my father’s powers and my father’s money to some extent. So if I talk with her, she will tell what I told her to my father.

To be totally honest with you, I hate to work with any person in my family, so I would rather be self-employed or unemployed. So please let me talk about how I don't want to work with anyone, although it's not really matching the problems. First is my father. He is one of the most controversial and hot-tempered people I have met in this world. He only concentrates on his opinions, and when people talk about others' opinions that disagree with him, he gets angry and talks about all the risks if that person does not follow his ideas. Some of his arguments are so subjective and self-centered that I feel really frustrated. Now about my mother. She is the contrast to my father. She is laid back and indecisive. That's why my mother married my father, because my father will decide everything. My mother has taken some courses about teaching children and how to be a good wife, but she ends up doing nothing. She learns some things, but I don't feel they are very practical, and she buys lots of books, but she rarely reads them. That's why if I ask her anything, she will be really indecisive, and she avoids conflicts, so she will agree with me on everything. The last person is my sister. She is two years older than me, and she already has a job, but she still depends on my father's power and money to some extent. So if I talk with her, she will tell what I told her to my father.
