Para ser sinceros"Su familia la quiere mucho y, para ser sinceros, ha hecho muchos sacrificios por sus hijos." quote from cloze exercise
I do not understand to whom 'para ser sinceros' refers to. Does it refer to 'su familia' or Eva, the daughter who made the sacrifices?
Why is 'sinceros' plural since it refers to a singular noun, either su familia or Eva?
This sentence doesn't make much sense to me.
I understand the need for para in para ser sinceros to mean in order to be sincere, but I am confused as to why sinceros is plural and to whom it refers.
Thank you.

"También recordó las alegrías cotidianas, por ejemplo los paseos por el parque con su perro Turco y las noches de cine en casa con su familia.".My translator offers two possible translations one of which includes las before " alegrías," los before "paseos" and las before " noches" and another which excludes them. Do the objects have to be used here, or are there regional variations ?

This sounds very Spanglish to me. Surely it's I have spoken perfect English since the age of 13
Creo que la mujer no dice bien el "ir" de Irlanda.
One of the questions for this section was
Yo soy directora en una empresa. (I am a company manager).
Wouldn't it be better to say
Yo soy directora de una empresa. ?
