My current family is the Phillips family -- athlete Lenny, writer/painter Kathe, and currently one son, Peter. I'm playing on Long lifespan with 28 day seasons, but instead of my usual practice of aging up Sims when I'm ready for them to move on, I'm actually playing them out for the full age spans. So Peter was a baby for several Sim days, and I found that just by interacting with the baby Sims can build their Parenting skill (I was able to get both of them to level 2 before Peter aged up to toddler). I'll probably start the couple over in a new save when Fame drops, or maybe save them after they finish their first aspirations (Bodybuilder for Lenny and the Painting one for Kathe) then use them in a new save for Get Famous. Once Peter ages up to a child, I'll have them have their next child; hoping for a girl I'll name Sara.
