Giving Louise a final hug, I knock on Liam and Oison's door hearing nothing.

I open the door to see the two kids hovered over there phones, but sleeping.

Walking over and placing their phones and Oisons glasses on their bedside cabinets.

Grabbing a post it Note and writing, no pocket money till this room is spotless! - Dad

Sticking it to their phones as that'd be the first place they'd look. If you are wondering I'm 30, Louise is 27, Olivia is 11, Oison and Liam are 10, Ciara is 4, Laura is 7, Emer is 2. Next baby or two or three is going to be 0...

Walking downstairs, I spot Louise bouncing Emer. Feeding her a bottle, I went into the cupboard and got coco pops out, grabbing seven bowls and filling seven of them halfway and pouring milk in them.

"Breakfast!" I shout, hearing moving around and walking.

Then I saw Liam and Oison looking tired walking downstairs sleepily, passing by and grabbing the bowls.

I handed them a small bottle of water that was in the fridge, then I saw Laura coming down, then Olivia and Vanessa and Isla.

Then there were no bowls left, I took Emer cradling her and looking into her large blue eyes.
