I have noticed that if a peeps is struggling with their career I spend a little extra time with them. I put them on their career and watch. If they don't suceed I put them right back on it. If they do suceed I watch to see their next action. If it's anything but working on the career I put them right back on it and praise them again.

I keep this up until they suceed a few times and it really seems to help working take hold.

Also, I don't interupt them while they are working. If they are in mid-cycle I let them finish before moving them to something else.

I think this helps them develope the skill/experiance to try again and finish a cycle.

As far as arguing and making a baby...I just keep trying until they make up. I don't know if it helps but something I do is make sure they are fed, feeling fresh, have food, are rested and have no emergencies going on then when they do decide to try I praise them or give them a treat.

Again, I may just be getting lucky but it seems to be working out!

Good luck!

i did a whole lotta hand holding with this woman. i even dragged her right back to the station to continue. sometimes she gets lucky when her husband takes over (they're both in the food industry, diff jobs though) because he's the breadwinner considering her pay barely covers a bag of dairy products.

On the kid front, she's too old for it. i was thrilled when the adoption choice came up but honestly i was disappointed it was a girl.

That being said, she's still ignoring the children. At this point, I'm really glad that parents dont stick around when the next gen take over because she's not a grandmother anyone can appreciate.

My mom & dad peep were doing the same thing when I was trying for my 6th child. They just kept arguing. *I found a secret!* Buy some perfume or cologne from the store and apply it to the peep. They will celebrate their marriage. Then try the baby thing again. It worked for me. Now I have a full house.

yeah i just think that sometimes they just aren't in the mood. but i SCOLD them if they do it regularly because if you let them do what they want they will never listen too you.

I tryed using the perfume in hopes to have a family that will have all 6 kids, but if i put the perfume on the woman, the man gets stuck, and vice versa. Their actions say they are celebrating marriage, but they dont move. I had the man one time stand in front of the coffee table for about 5 mins before i finally moved him. The whole time his action said he was celebrating marriage, but just stood there looking around while the woman danced, made a cake, ect.. and the man just stood there, looking around and didnt move.

I would guess he dislikes jumping and gets stuck.

The parents arent really the ones to interact with the kids, it's really just the kids and kids. If one of the parents definatly wanted children, I have found theres a better chance they will interact. If your person is 46, its hard to have kids. Heres a trick I use:

sixtuplets? is it really possible?

I have a couple where the mom didn't want kids. I did manage to get them to have 3 then 6 years of arguing about it and if they did try, nothing. Right around the time she turned 46 I gave them both a baby boost, stuck em together and hit triplets. Of course then I felt kinda guiltly for sticky that poor lady who didn't even want kids with 3 at one time!
