I really do have to find some time to play supernatural I honestly wouldn't know a werewolf if it bit me... ;) When I have played this month, it's been a household with a magician, acrobat and a singer (my first male singer, was curious to hear One More Gray Day in a guy voice - I always find myself humming /singing those songs while in the grocery store or at work, kind of get weird stares...my kids just shake their heads and roll their eyes - haha). It's okay, but busy auditioning and playing gigs. I miss my regular play where I use my uber skilled sim so she can do all sorts of fun things and travel to her homes in the three different worlds and not worry about skilling or getting a promotion. I also miss doing the family thing. Haven't done that since November but I was running a daycare and it burnt me out! I will definitely try SN and the fairy thing soon. I avoided SN because truth be told it kind of freaked me out all the zombies, werewolves and vampires running around but maybe I will try them out and if I don't like it, I'll start again but turn those occults off first.
I agree, it's important to be a mother and not a "friend" to your kids. My parents were really strict with my older sister but she fought them constantly so by the time I was a teen they were pretty worn down and mellowed out. I've always tried to instill our values and use examples of things happening to people we know as learning opportunities. I guess I will just have to trust that I've done my job well and that they will make responsible choices as they go through life. If I see them heading down the wrong path now, well I certainly do give my opinion and they are still young enough that I can impose things like grounding, no cell phone, no computer, etc.... There was a rabbi on Oprah once, years ago. Who said something like this "your kids are going to have hundreds of friends throughout their lives, but they will only have one mother and one father- so step up and do your job!"
Off to work, have a great day :blush:
