I did not know children could learn that.
Zazazu:
It doesn't hit me as odd. I see it as them wanting to learn how to have a good marriage later on in life, perhaps because they want to have a happy family just like Mommy & Daddy do, or perhaps because they saw Mommy kissing the mailman and Daddy getting it on with his coworker.
Most of my sim kids want to learn Physiology. Only one so far has wanted to learn couples counseling.

Somewhat off topic, but yeah. Why does that bother you?
Whatever gave you the impression that it bothers me? Did you see the link in my signature? I'm Norwegian, we had books like that around at my kindergarden.
Tsarina:
My kindergarten had that book too. IIRC, somewhere it says "You can ask your mother of father or another adult you trust to read this book with you."
I think it scarred me for life to hear this book being read aloud SO MANY TIMES. I remember being scared by the picture where the mother gives birth "The baby comes out WHERE?!"
Inge:
Of course, for a child to be comfortable about babies coming out of their "bottoms" they need to feel comfortable about their "bottoms" in the first place. By the time a child has had all the usual modesty hangups hung on them, it's probably kinder not to worry them with the natural healthy things those bottoms can be involved in until they're old enough to have found out that organs of generation can be fun and functional, not just something dirty you have to keep hidden when there are people around. In natural life, a child would have seen from as soon as its eyes were open that everyone has genitals, and by about one year old they would have seen things coming in and out of some of those genitals forming part of the natural lifecycle - all before they were old enough to be fitted with their own fig leaf!
J. M. Pescado:
Sims don't have genitals.

Learning parenting is not that bad - anyone can take care of babies. The thing about couples counseling is that it's supposed to be useful for people in romantic relationships, and it is icky to think about children having romantic relationships. Would they even understand the point of such counseling?
Would *THEY* understand? Hell, *I* don't even understand. It utterly eludes me why you would want to force a relationship that is clearly not functioning. This strikes me as being like that "Tard Logic" picture showing a square peg being bashed into a round hole by repeated, inaccurate hammering. Someone find me that image? Because that's what "Couples Counseling" sounds like to me. Frankly, it seems useless and I only included it on the Skillinator for completeness.
