The 2 year mothering time should count higher towards Parenting skills. My females have a harder time making it to master in anything since they have to take 2 years 'off' without gaining skills. Yet, in that same time frame, the males, who get the same amount of parenting skill as the females when they make the baby, get to Master in their skills. Doesn't seem quite fair.

My daughter and I both love the games though, already eagerly awaiting VV3!
