As I progress through this challenge I might refine things, like making the kids wear distinctive clothes so I can tell who’s who when I look back on the photo! I usually don’t bother changing their hairstyles but that might be handy as well.
Where to start? Well I guess with the older twins growing up – Treize and Fjorten.
You can see there was no time to water the money tree so it died.
The younger twins grew to toddlers.
I’m not sure who these two are but it serves to illustrate the neglect and chaos.
I think that’s Sez. Queen’s two sets of twins looked the same – one black and one white and all boys. Queen’s pregnant with number 5 here, I think. She finally had a girl – Dicette.
The toddlers in turn grew to school age.
Naturally none of them grow up well. It’s difficult enough to keep the parents fed and getting enough sleep, let alone paying attention to the kids.
Dicette grew to toddlerhood.
I could have sworn that I’d locked Queen’s want for having a baby with Dicette, but it didn’t trigger so she wasn’t getting very happy and she was ageing rapidly. Somehow I had to get her happy so she could take more elixir. Anyway, one more kid to come. Strangely, Queen was sick all the way through this last pregnancy.
And the want to have another kid didn’t show up, dammit!
For some reason I had to quit without saving – something bad happened, I can’t remember. Maybe it was this: Queen froze. She stood there, moving on the spot, crossing her arms, etc, but she wouldn’t budge, so she was going into the red zone while all around her were getting very unhappy and neglected.
This must have been after the birth of baby number 6 which was a boy called Oktin.
When I went back, instead of a boy she had another girl called Atten.
She now had her six kids but the oldest had to be a teenager before they could move out so they could help out the poor father in their new home. This didn’t take long. The older twins became teens and at the same time Dicette grew to school age.
Overall, Edison hadn’t been much of a father. He didn’t want to change nappies so the babies were dirty most of the time. He fed them occasionally or made mac and cheese (cooking skills not up to much). He wanted to go out on dates. Haha. This was one of the few times he interracted with his kids (I didn’t do it).
I’m sure toddler, Kahnz, is rivetted by the teddy talking about industry or pollution.
It was time to move out. The youngest, Atten, was still a baby but only a day away from toddlerhood.
Time for the next worker bee.
