Jacksons:R4- Driving Wild
I’ve been slacking off, these pictures were sitting in my laptop forever and finally after much discipline I get my butt moving and update this. Seriously, I hate my lack of writing creativity and felt that my story is boring, argh! I need something boost my creativity! Oh, I shouldn’t be rambling here. This is round 4 and as usual we’ll start with the Jacksons and warning: a) nudity (not extreme) b) weird narration style c) crazy and depressed sims.
I have no idea how we are going to manage 6 kids with only two of us, well to be exact only Erica and the 6 kids after I off for work everyday. Little did I know how the additions will change both our life and how they will drive Erica to the edge later.
I wasn’t enraged when Xander tried to point out to me one evening about the possibility that I had put too much work on his wife and how he hinted that he wanted me to persuade Erica to move back home. Seeing my blank expression he took a step back and offered money for hiring a live in nanny to aid Erica with the kids, I would have accept it if I’m not being mindful of Erica’s pride. He shot me one of those disgusted look when I said no, but I simply dismissed it. He is still far from understanding his wife fully.
I am aware of their reconciliation and Erica’s midnight trips to their marital home but still with his shallow understanding and arrogant ways, I am doubtful whether I should let him take her back to his home. I understand Erica’s fears and dilemma, unless she tells me confidently that she wants to move, I’m not going to get mix up in their business.
I knew from the start that taking care six kids by herself would take a toll on her even before Xander tries to confront me. In fact, I suggested that to her just two weeks before the ‘pleasant’ conversation with that Xander.
‘Eri, I think I’m going to hire a live in nanny from Aloha, I’ve ask Simone, she said ok. What do you think?’ I asked trying hard not to sound nervous or concerned. She had been walking around in her pyjamas lately without bothering to tidy herself up in the morning.
‘ Christy, are you trying to imply that I am incapable of taking care of your kids or are you concerned that I’m going to neglect the twins?’ she had replied curtly, I was shocked at her strong reaction.
‘No, I just want to relieve your burden, I doesn’t mean that,’ I fought to conceal my annoyance at her over reactions.
‘I refuse to accept a live in nanny, I have promised you that I’m going to take care of your kids and the house chore when you welcomed me into your house and I am going to fulfill it!’ she almost shouted at my face before stomping off.
And Xander thought I am being unreasonable and exploiting his wife.
Erica was getting weirder and weirder, evident in her change from walking in pyjamas into walking with only the towel on around the house. Thank god, Andrew is still a toddler! Seeing her weird actions, I have taken the initiatives to get off from work earlier and helping to take care of Dean, Damian and the other two despite noticing how jealous Ariel was. I hope Ariel won’t hate me for that.
When it was time for the quadruplets’ birthdays, I tried to cheer her up and maybe remove that towel-wearing habit by buying some new clothes for both of us. I gave myself a make over and tried giving her as well but she refused and at the end, she only got a new fashion style and kept her old hairstyle. She looks pretty and I think she would look much better if she will be more cheerful.
She did quit her towel wearing habit but much to my annoyance she stick back to wearing that pyjama around the house. I knew a change of fashion won’t cheer her up but I never expect her moods will be so erratic, I often spot her crying for no apparent reason and worst recently when I get home from work I found her jumping on that cheap- near broken couch up and down and laughing like a crazy witch. Well I think I ought to have a talk with Xander about his wife mental condition before she gets even worse, why did my life have to be that weird?
