Different parenting styles
What kind of families do you have now with the Parenthood pack? Are the parents strict, or do they even care what the kids are doing? Or does one parent say one thing and the other something else?
I'm finding this quite fun with my three families I'm rotating between. I have three siblings, who have a very wealthy background (money cheats), and all of them have their own families with very different ways of parenting.
The oldest sister Beatrice is divorced and is trying to balance the business career with taking care of a clingy toddler. She's ambitious and wants her daughter to grow up well, so she's always strict with her.
Then there's Delilah, who's a widow with two girls, a teen and a child. I suppose she's trying her best to raise the girls, but she's only ever used the calm tone to for example tell the younger daughter not to make a mess. I think it's like, she knows she should say something, but she just doesn't feel like getting into it too much, perhaps just ignore it the next time. And anyway, the butler will do the cleaning up, so why get upset?
And finally there's the youngest brother Devon with wife Sophia and a teen son and a child daughter. Devon is really just a big kid himself, who's always had his way, so he would rather just be best friends with his kids. But then, he did, for example tell calmly that her daughter should not make a mess. Twice. But then, when he caught her the third time, he yelled, because, I suppose he just ran out of ways to handle the situation. Sophie on the other hand is trying to teach both kids good manners, but isn't very good at disciplining her son.
