Personally, I love the pack. And, yes, it's a bit of a grind (unless you cheat up their Values right before they become YA's). But, then again, having raised three children in RL, a daughter and two sons, I now know and completely understand the old axiom "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times." Because you must repeat yourself before it truly sinks in. "Why are you jumping on the furniture --- I just told you not to." Face/palm. I did figure out how to look at which choice to give them. I often pick lowers manners, having sorted out that all the kid needs to do to raise their manners again, is to set the table. I love this pack and Growing Together. There is a richness now to family play that was lacking.
