Re: Toddler-Child relationship AND Family Embarrassment

@DeltaShadowWolf, yes I totally agree on the older child teaching the toddler to do things.🙂  I have older brothers and when I was a toddler one of them was school aged child.  He taught me many things (as did my brother who was a teen)! ❤️  I learned to tie my shoes as a 4 year old from my 10 year old brother! And he certainly helped me with my alphabet and numbers (and even used flash cards!)   I would love this in the game! 🙌

I don't agree with the parent/child bathroom situation. ☹️ Different countries and different families have different levels of privacy and being comfortable. While a toddler might be too young to be embarrassed, an older child can become very embarrassed.😢  Same with the parents!  I know families who are aren't as embarrassed and those that are very embarrassed.  Also, most of the families that I know that don't get as embarrassed are usually those who have multiple people sharing one bathroom!  In those cases they have to bathe with the shower curtain drawn so anybody who needs the sink or toilet can still do so! 😃 But in families that have 2 or more bathrooms, people get used to a certain amount of privacy.  

Furthermore, even in a family where most members are more relaxed about such issue, there can be one family member that can still get extremely embarrassed. 😞 We all have different levels of being comfortable, and should try to respect those who might be distressed in such a situation. 😇  It is best to err on the side of caution! ❤️

  • Aye. That be true with the parents. Well, they could make an option for it. On whether the family member gets embarrassed or not as well. I thought I was gonna get an inappropriate reply. Because normally, I do get those on everything else.

    @DeltaShadowWolf, yes they could make an option for it, but doing that for the game is probably a lot harder than it sounds! ☹️ I've heard from people who know computer code say that a "simple toggle" is almost never simple to code for. 😞   That is probably why they erred on the side of caution. 😉

    Happy Simming! 🥳
