“Why don’t we check on them using the surveillance system later? We may not see them clearly, but we can at least have a peek,” Xyla Quest suggested. “Maybe we won’t miss them so badly then.”
“Okay,” Stanley Batton agreed instantly.
Their children were already one-year-old in the blink of an eye.
Xyla and Stanley spent the past twelve months by their side, watching them as they grew little by little.
They witnessed their children learn how to walk and speak.
Now, they had an even stronger bond with them.

“All right, let’s get cleaned up and see them through the surveillance system before we would be able to sleep in peace,” she said eagerly.
Her husband nodded.
“Honey, there’s something I need to talk to you about first,” she told him.
He glanced at her curiously, gently swirling his wine glass. “Go ahead. What is it?”
“Here’s the thing," she began. "I noticed that you were spoiling our kids a little too much today. You’d given them everything they requested even when it didn’t make sense. That really won’t do.
“They are still little now, so it’s a crucial period for us to shape their personality. The kids need to know what they should and shouldn’t do. Some things are not necessary no matter what,” she explained.
Stanley nodded along as he listened. “Yeah, you’re right. I think I’ll need to reflect on this.”
“We are supposed to be responsible for educating the kids. Why have you gone astray?” she wondered.
“Kids will grow up to be entitled people if they’re constantly spoiled. Do you want to have arrogant and stubborn kids?
