Author's Note:
Thank you so much for reading my story. I'm extremely sorry for the delay in updates. I'm trying to edit it as much as I can. I didn't want to make you all read the older chapters again and again with my edits. But I guess that will happen in the future too. I'm sorry in advance. I tried my best to fine-tune my writing, but each time I re-read it. I feel like editing it. So it is taking time, and it is also demotivating me.
I hope I would update regularly from today onwards. But I'm not promising it as I don't like giving empty promises. I genuinely hope that I would have the pull to write the story regularly.
Thank you once again. Hope you would enjoy the story!!!

"Mumma...Mumma... Jessi is not letting us watch the match."
Jaidy and Jaiky came to the kitchen with their complaints about Jessi. A home with five kids and one TV will always be a war field. Thanks to the iPad, laptops, and mobile phones, the situation can be peaceful sometimes. I thought of buying another TV multiple times, but I want them to learn how to share their things. Some of my old school thoughts.
"Uffoo.. stop whining babies. You are not five, like Jeff and Jo. Start acting your age, my dear brothers." Jessi taunted them.
"Jessi, that is not the way to talk to your brothers, and I do not appreciate that tone with anyone. Is that clear?" Sometimes, Jessi talk with so much attitude and arrogance, I don't know from where she is picking up such behavior. I know their friends, and I know that I don't have to worry about them. But after all, I'm their mother. They are growing up, and with all those news about kids getting into trouble like drugs, relationship issues, fights, and everything, my worries increase whenever I see such changes in them. I hope they would choose a healthy life without trouble.
"I'm sorry Mom...But this is my favorite show, and I'm going to do my homework after this so I won't give them the remote. Just 15 min more. " Jessi said.
"Boys, you heard it right? 15 more minutes. After that you can watch it and What about your homework?" I asked them.
"We'll finish it after the match." They both said it together. Though I eyed them suspiciously, I know they will manage it somehow. Even though they fight with each other and sometimes act like completely spoiled brats, they love each other a lot, and they take their studies seriously and help me a lot with house chores. I heard them once discussing that they should be grateful and be responsible kids for what I'm doing for them as a way of showing their gratitude towards me. Though I was hurt a bit on hearing that, I felt proud of my kids. I never want them to have any sort of obligation towards me. But I never corrected it as I don't want them to take anything or anyone for granted. So I shower them with my love, hoping that one day they will understand how much I love them and I don't need any payback.
"Then meanwhile, can you please help me in the kitchen? Jaidy, Can you please knead the dough? And Jayky, Can you please sort out the good ones among those spinach leaves?"
After rolling their eyes at Jessi, they both got into action. Jaidy and Jaiky were telling me about their school when Jeffy came running to the kitchen.
"Mommy... Jo is not giving me my bike..." He said with a pout.
