I noticed the same thing. Kinda awkward... almost like they're living in someone else's house.... I dunno.

When it gets to be late in your time zone (mine did it around 10 pm) Mom will go stand in the doorway of the kids' room and "Call children to bed". The kiddies will come running and lie down.

Mine did that last night, though one only stayed asleep for about 2 minutes, I was waiting for them to do that tonight, but all 5 of my family are already in bed!!!

It's 11.30pm here. Their mother's not called them to bed yet, but the two younger kids are both napping in the living room.

I think mine was about midnight last night, if I remember rightly.

Quit looking for a snack already and make some dinner for the family!!!

"Felella, I will keep an eye on Mafalda. Go to bed."

a few moments later...

"What are you doing up?! Bed. Now!"

My runner husband and his reg. walking wife went to try for a baby, he ran in the room, did the little bed dance and ran out to watch TV just as she got to the bed and started laying out the petals. *me laughing at the screen* "that's probably why she argues with you so much!"

"Awww, that's so sweet, he curled up right next to her!"
The new pet dog curled up to sleep right next to Felella when I put the family to bed for the night.

'Oh, that's a GREAT start!'

My poor little family, just starting out, I do as the tutorial suggests and make them have a baby... triplets.
