@Sprottenham ''Children should not be allowed to have children of their own.'' well at least neglectful ones shouldn't be allowed to keep them. ;)
Ohh so she is evil! Well that explains it, she probably gets a gleeful moodlet from letting them suffer.
lol she finally did the dishes because no more room for plates!
Wow that is surprising that she taught her toddler to walk and talk and started his potty training!
omg LOL she makes out with her boss in front of his partner then takes a nap on their bed in front of them! :D
hahaha I hope she does miss her child's birthday, they are so much better off with the baby sitters.
Yay my wish is granted! I don't see stinky diapers and the kids are probably well fed and not lonely, soo it's all good for me! I hope she stays over at her Boss's house! LOL
@Sprottenham yes it is really uncomfortable for me to watch my sims kids neglected. It is almost as strong as my fear of sims dying in the swimming pool! lol I know I am a bit kookoo about it. :D I take Huge precautions, have mods to help the babies when I'm not there, like sleeping mats instead of cribs so they can go to sleep and get out to play when they want to. and a self bottle feed so they don't have to rely on a neglectful parent to be fed. LOL I covered all the bases! I think there is a mod for Everything! :D
I do think some of the family oriented sims do auto teach their kiddos. The non active sims are at a disadvantage since the game always pushes them to go somewhere else instead of teaching their toddlers, but I have also seen others pictures that a non active taught their baby to walk in the park. btw There is a mod that they can auto teach the 3 basic skills but then you have to be certain you want that for all your sims in the story.
LOL I bet it was frustrating that she wouldn't go on home! That gets frustrating to me too at times, but mostly I like when they do the odd stuff! :D BTW I like her Boss, I love that crazy hair! I wonder what will happen!
At home, the young Aaron Goth-Pammy has been brought downstairs by the babysitter and has located the peg toybox.

And then it's bedtime for the young one. Sleep tight, nooboo. Your mom obviously does not give two pennies worth..

At 3 in the night, things were getting dramatic once more over at Bårds house. Maybe it's time for you to head out of there, Natalie?
https://i.imgur.com/pScs9Of.jpg
Well, maybe Natalie is learning that it's time to back off just a little as she chose to take a nap on the couch this time.
https://i.imgur.com/jsGO3Cj.jpg
Or maybe not. It is now Monday morning, and she is still there....
And it turns out the following Monday was leisure day, which means of course, she could spend an entire new day at Bårds house without needing to go to work or go home...
https://i.imgur.com/1PN3mVO.jpg
Over the course of the day, the relationship between Natalie and Bård started to go downhill again, as more and more of Natalies evil and inappropriate behavior began to show.
https://i.imgur.com/7GZCrva.jpg
Mismatching personality traits, good and evil. Natalie and Josefine probably won't be the best of friends anytime soon.
https://i.imgur.com/w7fcdCo.jpg
It wasn't until 5 AM on Tuesday morning that Natalie decided to leave, for whatever reason. Maybe to go home and get a little sleep before heading off to work. A little late...
https://i.imgur.com/DY1EUpG.jpg
Needless to say, Natalie was dead tired when she went to work in the governments building that morning...
Opeth – Windowpane Inside plays a lullaby Slurred voice over children cries On the inside
https://i.imgur.com/99QG7M8.jpg ..which of course means that first thing on mommy's mind when she gets home after work, is to go to sleep.
https://i.imgur.com/GfY6uxC.jpg Isaac was out of his crib and wanted to go downstairs to play with the toys there, but they staircase was to steep and scary.
https://i.imgur.com/Yae8uGK.jpg Fast forward to a few months later... and Aaron was safely asleep in his crib with the plush toy doll he had received from his distant relative... or so the story goes... Natalie wanted to give the toy doll a name and decided to call it Billy.
And so the story repeared itself like it always does, and Natalie neglected her kids once more.
https://i.imgur.com/g3DwHkE.jpg Natalie: Shut up!! Why do these kids cry all the darn time!?
https://i.imgur.com/B6bUx0w.jpg Natalie: Ok, ok... I will feed you. Just please, shut up...
Then Natalie had to go to work, and the babysitter was called.
When Aaron eventually got tired, the baby sitter put him in a crib, but Isaac sleeping on the floor was ignored. https://i.imgur.com/WersQVd.jpg Aaron was asleep with Billy in his crib.
https://i.imgur.com/vkFRUdi.jpg Natalie: Disgusting, dirty cheap old oven.. I wish I had a new one that cost atleast 450 simoleons..
And once upon a midnight dreary.... after Natalie had gone to bed Aaron woke up, feeling hungry. https://i.imgur.com/XbRgv7R.jpg
Was Natalie going to feed him?
It didn't look like it. Natalie was asleep and dreaming sweet dreams of.. sleeping..
https://i.imgur.com/1d4KSq0.jpg
And suddenly there came a tapping....and she woke up to a light and soft spoken voice calling her name...
"Oh..... Natalie.... Natalie.... wake up......Natalie...."
Natalie: I must be going mad... I could've sworn this bear was talking to me...
"Oh..... I was talking...... to you......Natalie......pick me up... Natalie......pick me up...."
https://i.imgur.com/YMnqM47.jpg "Take me to..... your son.... Natalie... take me to.... your son..."
Natalie: This is nonsense....but ok.. I'll take you to him...
https://i.imgur.com/ktfIOV1.jpg "Now feed..... him....Natalie......or there will...... be..... consequences...."
Natalie: This is some stupid crap.. being threatend by a teddy bear, but alright.... I'll feed him..
https://i.imgur.com/qcXoTvj.jpg Natalie: There you go, Aaron.. here is your food...
https://i.imgur.com/G2AEbXJ.jpg Then she went upstairs again to feed Isaac.
"I'll be watching....... you.....Natalie..."
https://i.imgur.com/Ccotozm.jpg And downstairs to change Aarons diaper.
https://i.imgur.com/VTGqx2l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LmJi2vg.jpg Natalie: Ugh..wow, that bear..I could swear he was facing the other way when I went downstairs..
"I'll be watching........ you..."
https://i.imgur.com/XhVmOnf.jpg
"I'll be...... watching... sleep tight..."
https://i.imgur.com/sNPsULm.jpg Aaron and Billy was doing alright upstairs for now, but eventually became lonely.
https://i.imgur.com/gBsPrRo.jpg
"Wake up ..... again.... Natalie... wake up..."
https://i.imgur.com/JvZoWlb.jpg
"Your son needs..... you...... again..... Natalie..."
Later the next day. https://i.imgur.com/TycmNyj.jpg "I'm watching....... you..... Natalie..."
https://i.imgur.com/r93gwL4.jpg "What's the matter..... Natalie.........? You look like...... you've just seen..... a ghost..."
https://i.imgur.com/pmDyLvD.jpg
Natalie: I don't know who you are, but I want you out of here!
"Let that serve.... as an....... example....... of what I.... can do...... Natalie... next time....... he might not....leave so....... easily... I'm watching........ you..."
@Sprottenham I enjoyed the updates. Natalie is a terrible mother and at least the sitter is somewhat attentive. Poor kids. lol at the Teddy watching her and making her be a better mother.
@Sprottenham : Wow! Natalie is a BAD mother! And a mean person. Are her "hosts" still married???? How on earth could she stay so many days away from her sons? Without even thinking of them once??? Why doesn´t she just give them away and let them be adopted? It couldn´t get much worse for them, right? :)
Good for her behavior that the bear spoke to her and told her what to do! I just don´t understand who spoke to her in the end: the bear or the ghost? Did the bear told the ghost to leave or did the ghost just vanished into the bear again...
@Sprottenham Oh maybe I got mixed up with your stories about Who got the IF doll in the mail? Sorry! But I DID remember about someone getting it in the mail! So I hope you can forgive me! LOL
I must say Aaron has the Most unusual face I have ever seen on a toddler! I just love it and cannot wait till he grows up so I can see what he will look like!
''And suddenly there came a tapping....and she woke up to a light and soft spoken voice calling her name... "Oh..... Natalie.... Natalie.... wake up......Natalie...." Oooo perfect! I just love how you wrote that!
OMG This is Sooo Good!!! I just love this bear in the story!
LOL :D and the bear watches Natalie take a shower! I am laughing so hard! :D and now a ghost! hahaha
Sprottenham This is now my very favorite story! More Please!!!
@bekkasan @AlexaKry @DivaDoodle Thank you, these comments mean a lot to me, because I was really quite self conscious about the last chapter there, once I had posted it to the forums.. anyway, enough about that..
AlexaKry - I am not quite sure what you mean by "hosts", but I assume you mean Natalies parents? If so, the answer is no, they are not married, and I don't think they ever were actually. .. Oh dang, I'm slow! Now I understood what you meant... Yes, the hosts are still together actually!
"How on earth could she stay so many days away from her sons? Without even thinking of them once???" <--- That's a good question. It's literally like she doesn't care sometimes, or lacks the ability to think that what she does, or doesn't do will have consequences.. like, "Oh, I can go out to party, or stay away for several days in a row.. the kids will be fine, after all the babysitter is there.."
It's a form of immaturity and selfishness.. "Funny" thing is, this reminds me a bit of one of my aunts.. she was a bit like that I learned in retrospect.. however, not as extreme as Natalie in terms of abandoning her kids for days on end...
I don't know what this is called, other than some form of immaturity, lack of ability to be responsible, selfishness and narcisissm and/or an intense need for attention..
P.S: The character Natalie is not in any way inspired by my aunt or any one I know in real life...
Something like adoption probably never occured in her mind, it's like she can't think ahead sometimes, or just lacks empathy...
In many ways, she is like a child in an adult body...
But there is more to Natalie than just this, but I can't say to much without giving spoilers...
The last comment was spoken by the bear, sorry if that wasn't clear! :P

Opeth – Atonement
https://i.imgur.com/EfockYW.jpg Rainy season made its return, and honestly, it can sometimes look a bit gloomy. Now at this time, a certain rumor circulated the town that Natalie's grandparents, Friederich and Eva Goth-Asli, had finally divorced after years of going back and forth with each other. They had been fighting on and off like this ever since Natalie's parents were kids, so it wasn't very surprising to the towns people...
With the new season and after the incident in the bathroom, the teddy bear stopped following Natalie around. Now it was as lifeless as a teddy bear should be, seemingly staring blankly at the doll house. And finally the tv-repairman had arrived, after she had called him twice to come over to fix their cheap broken tv-set.
https://i.imgur.com/y8Nupdi.jpg
Natalie:So, so, Aaron... I don't trust that teddy bear thing.. so I'll put you down on the floor here to eat right next to him.. so he can see I'm doing my job..
https://i.imgur.com/vOLSxzb.jpg
Then the ghostly figure appeared again. He drifted out of the bathroom and faced Natalie for a split second..
Natalie: Who are you? What do you want? I just fed him!
https://i.imgur.com/hY9sKKK.jpg
But he didn't answer. He did a sharp left turn, before disappearing through the wall to the right of the door..
https://i.imgur.com/KAGit9i.jpg
At 3:30 in the night, Natalie is awakened by a howling sound from the living room and the sight of a pair of hands coming out of her bedroom wall... Natalie: Why are you here? Where do you come from!?
https://i.imgur.com/3YbKbeT.jpg
No answer. The ghostly figure turned and drifted away with a complacent smile on his face.
"This is just getting all to strange.... Where does he come from? There is no gravestone on our lot, and no one has died here. Is it because of the... graveyard nearby?"
Natalie went back to bed, but all these questions made it difficult to fall asleep.
https://i.imgur.com/TNXAeTr.jpg
He returned again at 6:30 in the morning, standing in almost the same spot, staring directly at Natalie's location as if he could see through walls.
https://i.imgur.com/pXsoYjD.jpg
Natalie had another 30 minutes left to sleep before she had to get up and get ready for work, but this immediately woke her, as she could sense his presence.
https://i.imgur.com/N0GzzkI.jpg
And when the ghostly figure had made sure she got out of bed, he went over to the stove and lifted it about in the air and shook it violently between the kitchen benches making as much noise as possible. Was he trying to prove a point, or just being a jerk?
https://i.imgur.com/iko9BhS.jpg
When he was done with the noise making, he went to the bookshelf and picked up a book to leave on the living room table, before disappearing in a puff of green smoke.
Natalie skipped breakfast that morning. She ran out the door and called for a taxi.
https://i.imgur.com/2UcQk9P.gif
"This can't be happening. This isn't real. I never had a teddy bear. Teddy bears can't talk. This isn't real. Ghosts aren't real. This is all in my head. It has to be. There is no other way. This is all in my head. Repeat after me. This is all in my head. Why is this happening? All in my head. This isn't real. This isn't real. I never had one. I never had one. Alright. Alright. Alright."
Taxi driver: You okay back there?
Natalie: What? Oh. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Taxi driver: Ok, ma'am. Just checking. Governments building, right?
Natalie: Governments building. But its on the left. It's.. It's on the left.
Taxi driver: I know, ma'am.. just checking...
https://i.imgur.com/ITJOFMv.jpg
It wasn't long after she came home from work that the ghost made his appearance again, by waving his fingers through the bathroom wall and interrupting Natalies playtime with the dollhouse.... ...before slowly drifting through the kitchen and out through the living room on the opposite end of the house.
https://i.imgur.com/lNi5aLq.jpg
Natalie: What do you want? Why can't you leave me alone?
But he wasn't leaving just yet, he did a turn around outside the house and headed up the stairs to the toddlers bedroom where Aaron was sleeping.
https://i.imgur.com/VVxpaRS.jpg
He stood there for a good while, staring at the crib. Natalie could hear a soft, almost inaudible whisper coming from upstairs. "Sleep tight..." Then he went downstairs to vanish into a puff of green smoke once more.
https://i.imgur.com/81wc8Ov.jpg
"I don't know what's going on. If I do dishes, maybe he stays away. Did I feed Isaac? I have fed Isaac. Aaron is upstairs. He's asleep. Everything is good. Everything is good. This is ridiculous. Ghosts aren't real. Ghosts aren't real."
https://i.imgur.com/9Wy3jRE.jpg
Then the kitchen sink broke with a thud.
Natalie: Oh, God! What was that?
https://i.imgur.com/mgoJvRe.jpg
Exhausted, Natalie went to bed. But the ghost came back again and violently shook the bed around and kept Natalie in a state of paralysis.
https://i.imgur.com/Q7XWno8.jpg
Then he finally started talking.
https://i.imgur.com/2oD8ZTN.jpg Ghostly figure: Well, I have seen that you are doing better with the children.. but you still need to learn how to clean up the house a little better, because this place stinks!
https://i.imgur.com/vH8Yceg.jpg
Ghostly figure: Goodbye for now, Natalie.
But by morning, he was there again.
https://i.imgur.com/lrYRKMP.jpg
Natalie: You're not real! Leave me alone!
Ghostly Figure: There is still some rotten food in your refridgerator. Take that out, and I will go.
https://i.imgur.com/AZUHcaE.jpg
"Ignore him. He's not real. He's not real." Ghostly Figure: Empty your refridgerator, Natalie, and I will go.
https://i.imgur.com/jGvs4bA.jpg
Natalie: Ughh...
https://i.imgur.com/qKV7v8y.jpg
"I don't believe this. He's not real. He's not real."
https://i.imgur.com/lC6461w.jpg Ghostly figure: Well done, Aaron! You almost got it now!
Natalie: You're not real! Leave my kid alone!
https://i.imgur.com/pqyhUSf.jpg
Ghostly Figure: I just want to make sure he has mastered the xylophone, Natalie. Don't disturb us...
And after that he finally disappeared .. and that was the last she saw of the ghost for a long while. And from now on Natalie made sure to take good care of her children, as she did not want him to come back, or for that teddy bear to come alive again. Well, for the most part.
https://i.imgur.com/XItQj5X.jpg
Natalie: Hahaha, you screaming little #*@£! Mommy will give you some food, but only to keep you alive so I can hear your screams again at a later time!
