Jenny23, I actually had that happen too, but it was only with one little peep. When I would praise her husband, it didn't affect him that way, only the wife. I finally deleted that couple and restarted a new character in that same player slot and I haven't had that problem since. I'm playing a lot of families, too, as I have 5 going under one user name on my computer and so far another 3 going under a different user name on my computer. I think it's probably just a glitch, but I know what you mean as it happened EVERY time I praised her for doing anything.
