Brynne,

Wow that debunks the notion that newbies aren't very experienced with the game...lol. Your well-written synopsis of possible suggestions is excellent and thorough. I thought I'd die laughing in Suggestion 7. I actually had one child I named "PotatoHead" because that's what he looks like. If he had green hair, he would have looked like a Chia-Head, really!

And absolutely, women should get more parenting points for doing the actual parenting. How unfair is it that a guy pounces on her, gets the parenting points for having "initiated the encounter" and she gets nothing but two years on the sidelines and no skill upgrade.

Something else that bugs me... if teaching is a parenting skill, shouldn't Master Parents be running around instigating teaching sessions about as much as they go chasing people into the Love Shack?

lol... Boy did your doctor comments hit home here! Lazy boogers.

Great job!
