Anyway, to the OP, no babysitter. The way I get around this, if I'm going for a fully fledged family gamestyle, is have either a grandad or granny ( Or both) around who take the kids fishing, to the park, or bake them cookies, while the parents are away at work. Even used a 50 x 50 lot and tried to simulate a mini neighbourhood with one family. There are creative Roleplay things you can do to get around this and squeeze some fun (despite all the limitations).
