What age do you play a character? Considering child up

Thought I'd be the only one here :lol: . But like many others here, I enjoy the "cradle to grave" experience. So I basically explore each life stage throughout their lives. Starting ages vary on the beginning story ( grandparents raising a grandson, single mom, etc.) but any sim born afterward gets a full experience of life stages. I rotate between the whole household, giving a fair amount of time on all of them.
