I allowed my favorite village child to drink from a bottle and now she's an apprentice parent! Darn it! I had other plans for her...

Funny how what mother says turns out true even in the virtual world... don't drink anything you're not familiar with. you might end up pregnant one day.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, yes. Words to live by. On a side note, just becase she is an apprentice parent doesn't mean you cannot still have her live out your dream for her. This just means she has a backup career. A "Plan B" you might say.

She just has a jump-start on becomming an Esteemed Elder! That's a good thing. You can still make her anything you want her to be. Maybe with some luck, you can make her a master in all skills.

Well, she's sixteen now and she caught on fishing so well! I'm so proud (Uhm, should I be disturbed that I have a "favorite child" and that I'm proud of her "accomplishments?)

Wow, what is an esteemed elder? do they really get labelled that in the game?

There are Esteemed Elders in VV: The Lost Children (VV2), but not in VV: A New Home. Sometimes people forget which forum they are posting in.

OOPS!!! Sorry about that! I know the difference, it was just a slip.
You can still try to make her a master in all skills. Nothing special awarded for it though.
Just a personal goal for fun.
