Forrest and Taye are ticking along nicely, they’ve had 2 girls together so far which means no birth control for Taye just yet. However i do plan on putting Taye on it as soon as she gives birth to a son.

Financially they are fairly stable, they have no mortgage on their home and they bring in a reasonable income, there house is nice and large and due to the small family their taxes are reasonably low so i don’t expect this family to give me any problems financially, as all the have to do now is save up for their childrens future.

It’s doubtful that Forrest and Taye will ever afford University for any of their children, though i don’t count the possibility out completely. Still they already have $31,000 in savings and they are clearly bringing in a reasonable income for their living expenses.

So this round i decide to send Neo to Private School, 10 years old is my cut off point for private school, i don’t allow sims to just send their children for their final year to gain the benefits. Really i figure that if sims want their children to enjoy the higher wage cap for privately educated sims then really the children need to attend from being at least 10 years old. Anyway sending Neo to Private school will give him a good start in life not bad for a son that’s not Forrest’s or Tayes by birth.

It doesn’t take long for Taye and Forrest to try for another baby, there % is quite low now but the 2nd attempt towards the end of the round, is successful and i hope this one ends up being the son Forrest needs.
