What does Parenthood actually change?
I've been looking at Parenthood as it's the only Game Pack I don't have (excl JTB) and I really don't get it, I'm just confused what it actually adds? You can do school projects and kids will make...

To be honest, I think it adds a lot of nice touches to Sims regarding familiar relationships and school routine.
It changes autonomy as their character values increases and/or decreases and also after they get the CV related traits. I noticed recently that some Sims with manners are setting the table constantly and responsible Sims do their homework and performe well at school. You will get phases that will add some moodlets and also change a little bit of autonomy. There's a lot of interactions that can lead to funny scenarios (e.g. I had Alex Goth and Mortimer eating breakfast and the context menu suggested me to "Argue about house rules" which made Alex and Mort argue repeatedly to a point that I thought the interaction bugged. Bottom line: both received an angry moodlet regarding stalemate discussion). Also parenting interactions between parents and their kids can lead to some funny situations too, mainly if you use its interactions to increase parenting skill (like scream to your kid to do homework when they are enraged by some crazy teen phase).
