Toddler needs not met when one parent at school

I just got DU and decided to enroll my married mother of 4 to Foxbury. When the mom leaves for school, I play her and leave dad and little ones (4 toddlers) behind at the house. Dad is an eGamer and has evening/night hours.

While mom is at school, I'll peek in on the other family members' needs. Often one or more toddler is near starving. Bladder needs are in the red so far that if I was playing them, they couldn't get to the bathroom on time.

When Dad finally leaves for work and toddlers are automatically sent to daycare, their needs finally are taken care of. On the days he doesn't go to work, I have Mom come home instead of spending the time on campus studying because I worry about them being taken by social services.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

  • If you worried the mom can go to college on her on. She can just leave for class from home and come home in between classes. There is no need to travel with her. Then you the player stay with dad and the kids. OR edit the lot. Put stuff in the commons and or library that the kids need and bring everyone with you. Right before class time travel to campus with everyone. I put a little play/education area in the commons and library.
  • On Mom's first day of class, I expected her to leave on her own, like she was going to work, but she didn't, so I started having her travel there.

    The play area is something I could consider on the days dad doesn't work, but then it's just as easy for Mom to go home if she has to watch the kids any way while she studies.

    Was mom's first day of class a holiday? They need to be sent (a button appears on their class schedule at the start of class time) on holidays. Otherwise they should go to class automatically. They won't go early like they would if they were living on campus, but they should go come class time.
  • I don't have Seasons, so no holidays. I can try again and see if she goes herself then just not save if she doesn't.
