When the Ahmed family formed, they knew they were going to be nothing like The Brady Bunch.
Faquir Ahmed was living with his two kids — 13-year-old Ojeyo and 10-year-old Megha — in an apartment when he met his future wife, Chaney Jernigan. And, just like in the “Brady Bunch” theme song, she had three kids of her own.
Suddenly, two separate families of three and four became one unit of seven, all living in the same house and trying to get along with each other despite their many differences.
“Us getting married is gaining additional people to love you,” Chaney and Faquir told the kids when they all moved in together. And they meant it.
It was a challenge at first. For everyone.
