If the wife is a nonfiction writer, where does she work: the workshop, the kitchen, or the office. or is there another place to work. and how fast do the children grow?

The office would be her place. If you can't figure it out next time, try placing her either on the office table, kitchen work area or workshop to see where she'll start working. There's no other options for work areas.

The babies will take 4 hours to become 2 years old and start running around, but after that they grow 1 year older every 3 and a half hours just like the adults.

thanks!

No problem nancy! If you ever need more help feel free to post again.
