Definitely agree that the mother should either accrue more points while nursing (maybe get extra points for twin/triplet births) or she should be able to do SOME tasks to gain skill points during the 2 years; planting/harvesting at the very least. A school or nursery would be great, the teachers & care-givers can earn parenting skills and the kids can gain points in areas of interest.

The first kiss should never result in a baby ... I have dropped villagers onto the huts to build, or into the research table area and had "instant" babies result WAY too many times... I kinda get grossed out when siblings or parents & kids have babies together so this way I could at least pause the game and see who's smooching who and get them the heck away if it's a bad pairing.
