Enjoy Magpie -- and YES it does take a load off LOL!! They are pretty sufficient on their own after a while --- still need help with getting the fire lit (you'd think that would have been the FIRST thing THEY would learn to do on their own LOLOL, and of course teaching children, and teaching new doctors the strange plants but other than that? If the children have a little farming, building or research already on their skills screen, just check it off and they will start doing it on their own (Dr's are one of the exceptions). I just tweak things a bit.

You'll start noticing their own individual ways, and details that were missed because you were focused on other things. You'll find different ways to interact with them. It truly is a journey, so enjoy your journey. And, also, you play and keep it going long enough and who knows? You might find your tribe showing up on the leader boards I wasn't expecting it, but guess who showed up this week in the top 100 for events, total hours, and elders? The Rainbow Tribe!!
I am also happy to tell you that for the second time, my 114th villager gave birth to triplets, which means I have 117 in the tribe, and is my fifth set of triplets
