How do Sims Babies get made?
idtaminger:
I didn't know how babies were made until I was in Junior High. I knew pple had sex to have babies, but I never knew what exactly sex was. Until one day, after bio class, I was looking at the diagrams of the male & female reproductive systems. The female diagram went in a certain way, and the male one went out a certain way....And all of a sudden it hit me. And that is how I learned what sex was.
I think it's quite possibly the most uninteresting way to learn about something like sex.

Wow Misty... that's just... I can't think of the word. Give me his name and address, and I'll make sure he never tries it again to anybody. I'm someone who thinks of castration as being the beginning of the punishment for that, not the end.Quote
Yep. I couldn't agree more. They all need that done, then locked up for life. I've just counted my blessings over the years because I was one of the very few who got away from him.

I feel somewhat insensitive telling my story now, but I'll do it all the same. ;)
No need to feel that way! I'm happy to see most people found out about this kind of thing in a good way. I've tried to do that with my kids too and so far they're extremely well-adjusted.

I was ten and my friend, who was seven(!) told me that you had to have sex to have babies. I denied it. My parents just wanted me, so I came. I haven't worked out the details about just HOW I arrived, but my parents would never do anything like that. Just like yours Brynne, parents just don't do those things :D
Yep, there's just no way parents would do such a thing! :o

I know what you mean, but the ironic thing is that that is exactly what makes them parents! :D

Yeah, and think about your GRANDPARENTS!
Ick, just Ick, and I AM a parent :)
I still say that Sims is teaching my kids life lessons the best way.
#1 You can't afford to buy everything, so chose carefully.
#2 Babies are HARD to take care of, don't do it until you have enough money to hire help.
#3 Pregnancy can kill, so whoo hoo instead of try for baby whenever possible (use protection)
#4 If you don't do your homework, the Social Worker will take you away.
Seriously, #4 worked! My then 9 year old son was fighting me every day to get his homework done. i would literally stand there and flick him on the head every 30 seconds as his attention wandered. One day he was playing his 2nd generation Legacy child and BAM! The social worker showed up because she got an F in school. My poor son was traumatized. He refused to play TS2 for 3 weeks! I finally showed him how to get the fun up quickly after school, and how to study, etc.
Most amazing thing, literally from that day on, I have not had to fight him on homework! I can sit across the room and merely speak his name every 10-20 minutes to get him back on track! THANK GOD FOR MAXIS!!!

Oh Trixie, you are cracking me up! ;D
I've used Sims to "drive" home my own little life lessons with my boys, too...even if I have been put in some, cough, awkward spots as the moment that started the thread.
Rule number one is, you treat your Sims well or you don't play the game. Not saying how I think anyone else other than my children should play their own games in the privacy of their own homes, just talking about my kids.
My oldest son (who is LD with sort of Aspergers), needed some extra help to make sure he didn't have the Grim Reaper calling regularly....so I've put Merola's Multi Painting in his houses and taught him how to use that. He runs a happy little world with happy little Sims who magically get everything they need.
My 11 year old has decided to join me in playing without money cheats or heavy use of other kinds of cheat objects. I had a nice Mom moment when he said to me the other week, "You know, you're right, it's more fun when you have to work for it."
Of course, we both have the "no homework" hack installed because we hate homework.
Proving that parenting is really only as good as the parent, huh? ;)
