Now that my older children are young adults its harder to see them than before. It seems like yesterday that they were babies. I am glad that they get along with their half brother and sister. There was a point when I was worried that they wouldn't get the opportunity to grow up together. however now that I look back and I think that they are fine.
Valentine is no longer a kitten. He is a cat with his own agenda. Against our better judgement we decided to let the kids have a pet. Now we just have to work on training him not to eat our human food.
Payton is not having so much luck with the real estate market. He is currently licensed to sell only in Viramontes. He has been contemplating getting licensed to sell property in the surrounding suburbs. I think its a good idea. As for me I am still enjoying the royalties from my music career. Soon they will run out so I have to think of other options.
Payton noticed that Eugenio loves coming by more than his siblings. I didn't notice it but then I saw him and a young girl named Celeste Kosmokos. I think that they are together but he is not saying anything. I hope that he does feel like he can talk to me about these things. I dont want to push so I have not said anything.
Before long it was time to take them to Marco's house. For now some are going to college and some are not. I wish they all went to college but I can't force them. This is the hard part of being a parent of a young adult. You have to sit back and hope that everything you gave them is enough. I can only hope that we did the correct thing.

Author's note:
Linda Chalmer's is a sim extra. She is only a playable because she was married to Marcos. I sometimes struggle with how to represent the playables. however I dont want those sims that were part of my rounds just to disappear.
Which ones are going to university? It would be hard to let up the reigns and let them make their own decision, especially if Linda doesn't think it's the best choice. But university definitely should be chosen, and not forced. I understand on the struggle with extra sims, if I don't know what to do with them at all for an update, I'll just put them completely in the background, and just visit them, like Regina and John Russo, now we just see them during their daughter, Morgan's updates.
