FOMO
Mandy Lawrence feared missing major moments in her children’s lives. To keep track of what they were doing without her, she installed a nanny cam.
Watching the live footage on her phone during lunch break, she couldn’t believe what she saw. This was something she had no idea her husband was capable of.
Never Knew This Side Of Him
As she sat in her office chair, Mandy clutched her chest. Having never seen anything like this before, she didn’t know what to think.
Peter, Mandy’s husband, had never shown this side of himself to her before, despite their years of marriage. There was only one thing Mandy could do.
Her Soulmate
It had been ten years since Mandy and Peter were together. As far as Mandy was concerned, Peter was her soulmate. She saw him as everything she could have hoped for and more.
Soon after they got married, Mandy announced she was pregnant. He was overjoyed beyond words. Mandy could now see why he had always wanted to be a father.
Like A Princess
Savannah is the name they gave to the beautiful baby girl Mandy gave birth to. It was a dream come true for Peter. It had always been his dream to have a daughter, and he treated her like a princess.
He bought Savannah every toy she could want, and she grew into a beautiful little girl. Mandy fell pregnant again when she was seven, and their family welcomed a second baby. It was a boy named Samuel this time.
A Good Job
Mandy loved her family, but she also had a great job, and she was even promoted to management. Since she was always busy, she felt like she was missing out on her family life.
She was fortunate that Peter was a loving, supportive husband, and his work allowed him to work from home.
The Real Reason
This allowed him to spend more time at home with his two children while his wife thrived in the workplace. He was grateful for the opportunity to spend quality time with his children and was proud of his wife’s success.
Mandy was unaware of the real reason behind Peter’s desire to spend more time at home. Once the nanny cam was installed, everything would be revealed.
Tinge Of Envy
She felt a tinge of envy whenever Peter texted her about Samual’s new accomplishments now that Peter was at home with the children.
Mandy was grateful to Peter for taking on the mammoth task of being at home with Samuel while working but secretly wished it was her.
The Schedules
In the kitchen, he hung a schedule on the wall to keep track of everything. From feeding times to nap times and everything in between, Samuel’s schedule included everything he needed to know.
In addition, Savannah had to be picked up from school as well. There was never a single time when he texted Mandy to ask for help, and he seemed to be doing fine.
Appreciative
Mandy wished she could spend all day with her family, which made her heart ache. However, she was extremely grateful that Peter stepped up to take on the responsibility.
As a result, they saved a great deal of money on daycare and nanny fees. Although Peter was doing a great job looking after Samuel and Savannah, she wanted to be involved as well.
Nanny Cam
Summer holidays were just around the corner, and she knew Peter had fun things planned for them. He also took time off from work to devote all his attention to the children.
An idea flashed into Mandy’s head. Would it be possible for her to be at home without being at home? It was apparent what she needed to do. After work, she bought a nanny cam at the store.
The Nanny Cam
To her, it was a great idea. She would place it in the living room area, where they spent most of their time when they were watching movies. Savannah loved movies, and Peter had stocked up on all of her favorites for her to watch.
That evening, she strategically placed the nanny cam on the mantle of the fireplace between all the family photo frames.
Home Today
It was the first day of the school holidays, and that morning, before Mandy left for work, she asked Peter what he had planned for the children.
“Well, we’ll be home today. Savannah wants to kick back and watch some movies. So that’s what we’ll do. I’ll order some pizza as a treat,” he confidently replied.
Nanny Cam Watch
To Mandy, it was perfect. That meant that she would be able to see what they would be up to all day. However, she had no idea what the nanny cam would show her.
That afternoon, as soon as it was lunchtime, she closed her office door, took out her lunch, opened the nanny cam app on her phone, and sat back. What would she see?
Having Fun
When she logged in, all she could see was toys lying around. Looks like they were having fun. Then, little Samuel came into the frame. He was wheeling away in his baby walker.
He looked so happy as he gurgled away, drool dripping all over his clothes. She could also hear singing in the background. Then the doorbell rang.
The Promise
She saw Peter hurrying to open the door. It was the pizza delivery guy. Peter paid for the pizza, and she saw her daughter come running towards it. Then she heard Peter say something strange.
“No, honey. No pizza for us yet. Remember what you promised you’d do with Daddy? You can’t go back on that promise now, can you? Daddy will be very upset. Now come on, let’s get undressed,” Peter said.
