Family Over Everything

Chapter 1

(TUESDAY)

TRACY'S POV

Well we're back did you miss us? Our family has gone through a lot over the years and with everything going on I'm losing my mind. Ricko and his kids are going to take me back to the days I want to forget about.

"Jaheim get in here and clean up your room now!" I yelled to Jaheim from upstairs.

"Mama chill out I'm going to clean it up", he said coming in the room with a sandwich in his hand.

"Did I ask you that? Take that sandwich back downstairs I told you about eating up here. When I come back in here this room better be at least half way clean"

"But--"

"It's gone be yo butt if you don't do what im telling you"

"Yes ma'am" He said.

He went downstairs and came back up to his room. I walked to Aaliyah's room and I promise she gives me hope. She's not perfect but she keeps me calm and happy she's not a problem child.

"Hey mom" she said sitting on her bed texting.

"Hey baby girl, can you go clean up the living room for me please. Your dad is going to be here in the morning and I want the house to be clean."

"Yes ma'am" she sat her phone down then left out her room.

You see what I mean? The response between her and her brother were completely different. Next were the twins. They are some hellians.

"What are you two doing?", they were wrestling and my poor son was losing.

"Mama tell him not to flush my dolls down the toilet anymore", Michelle said having Michael in a head lock.

"Michelle get off of him. And Michael you did what?"

She got off of him and he stood up quick fixing his clothes.

"Mama I--She was playing in your make-up", he said pointing to Michelle trying to get the attention off him.

"Both of you, clean up this room, and the bathrooms, get to it and I'll talk about your punishments with your father when he gets here. Now hurry up"

They argued pushing each other cleaning up the room. Now Aden. You remember when I said I didn't want any kids. Yeah this is not for me.

"Aden go help the twins clean up the bathrooms since your room is already clean"

"Okay. When is daddy coming back?"

"Tomorrow, now clean up"

"Ma I'm gonna go hoop I'll see you later"

"Bubba come here. Since when do you tell me what you're doing? You ask"

"Okay. Mom can I go hoop--"

"No now get to cleaning"

"Why you being so mean? Are you pregnant again"

"No now do what im telling you to do. When your done with your room clean the kitchen"

"I wanna go hoop though"

"You have one more time to say something because I'm two seconds away from taking all of your stuff away and all you'll have to do is clean"

"Okay fine"

My patience are real slim and they have been for a while now. Every little thing makes me mad amd I don't know why.

I cleaned up the matter bedroom and the bathroom while the kids cleaned the house. When I was done I checked on everybody and almost everything was clean. The last thing was the kitchen and all the kids were in there working, not arguing but listening to music.
