Yeah, Right.

How about a little realism?

* Make the players get up every four hours, 24/7, for the first six months of play. No excuses - get yer butt outta bed RIGHT NOW and do whatever the computer demands of you, or you'll never go back to sleep.

I'll let all the other parents take it from there (and trust me, it's a helluva long list...)

Oh, and you're not allowed to shut the game off for the next 18 - 24 years.

Child abuse and neglect will not be tolerated!Also, they'll pass legislation to come after you for child support if you decide to forfeit. I want to know where to get the cheat codes beforehand.

If your child gets attacked by a computer virus, you are going to get charged out the wazoo in medical bills.

Hey, laugh. A fatherless (and motherless) child!

Great. Now I have to spend virtual money on a virtual education but use my real time in doing so.

And who is coding this parental-simulator?
