Yes I've had three back to back cases of one of my males embracing without any skill level or training whatsoever. Each time a successful attempt. I had another male who died a couple of days ago, but during his time, he also had no skill or training in parenting. He would be researching, and suddenly just stop what he was doing and start embracing, he was never successful though.

As for the male I'm referring to now, although he has embraced and fathered three children, his parenting bar never goes up. It's still shows nothing. It's rather bizarre. Then again, his "mother" was the one who I mentioned in another post who ran away from thin air.
