It doesn't matter whether my mother had a baby when I started the game, or whether it's her 8th baby (I see, by the way, that the 50-year-old age limit has been rescinded). This has been a problem right from VV1, and it only appears to be getting worse. Many times, my mothers' clocks stop at 240 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. and then after a few hours they start back up again. But I had one mother who refused to let go of her baby for a full 24 hours' worth of game play! Now I've heard of not wanting to let them grow up, but that's ridiculous!! LOL Anything we can do to make them get on with their lives?
