I like manually watering plants and having weeds.
First of all, gardening builds fun. It's a good way for a child to build fun after returning from school and doing homework. Plus it builds gardening skill.
Put them outside, then. you can have all the weeds you want. :P Or if you really want weeds in your greenhouse, leave one sacrificial plant out to get infested, whereupon it will spread like, well, weeds.

Second, every time you water or tend a plant, the health goes up. So you get two boosts to plant health by tending the weeds then watering everything. You spend less time talking to plants this way. :)
That works, yes.

Why aren't my children skilling? Well, if you have a smart Sim, learning from the education career reward bookcase, using a thinking cap and scarfing veggie cocktail (which makes a Sim smarter), and do all this in the Fall, you can max 7 skills from near zero in about 4 days. Might as well do this as a teen, and let the kids be kids.
Pssh. Waiting that long risks losing your smart bits. Actually, it's not even 4 days. It's less than 1, with the Edumacation Bookshelf. I produce C-8s with time to spare.
And then it's time for SLAVE LABOR! And I see your Hooklike self is back. You should reappear in chat more.

Striker: I've been continuously checking my Sim kids' IQ and it looks like doing homework will sometimes unstick the smart milk. I don't know what the criteria are, but some Sims don't ever lose the smart milk thingy, even after using a thinking cap. I figure if my Sim *ever* had stuck smart milk, they should *always* have stuck smart milk, so I cheat 'em back to smart using the lotdebugger. So sue me. :)
Pes: I like running a garden year round, so I've never had one without a greenhouse. If I can put one plot outside the greenhouse and have it cause weeds to sprout inside, I'm happy.
If I wait until a Sim becomes a teen, if it's a Knowledge Sim they get a metric assload of aspiration points. And if they have the LTW to max 7 skills, they become permaplat in no time!
I've always been a slave driver with my Sim toddlers and children, skilling all the time. I guess it's time to let a Sim kid be a kid, see what else they can do. :D
And the reason I'm back is, I haven't played much Sims since I got burned out on OFB about 2 weeks after getting it. I recently got Pets and Seasons and am back to playing most of my waking hours. :D

Eh, metric assloads of raw ASP are easy to come by and nearly totally useless. :P

Not a hell of a lot, alas. Toddlers basically can't do anything ELSE, although children can now be used as farm labor.
