Davy: Daddy? Cindy: Your dad is out too. He's out working his butt off so he can give you anything you want and keep making you the spoiled little brat you are. Deanne: Come on, Cindy, that's no way to talk to a little boy. Let me try, I got this.

Cindy: Suit yourself. Deanne: Hey, Davy, do you want to watch a movie? How about The Lion King? Davy: Yeah. Lion King! Cindy: The Lion King? Don't you guys have something more recent? Deanne: Oh, there's a whole film library here, but that is Davy's favorite. Cindy: Really? Wow.

Davy has calmed down for the moment, but Deanne already knows fifteen minutes of the Lion King will be the most he'll take, and then they're back to square one. So this is going to be a long evening.

The party has begun! Deanne, the babysitter, never does her job, but today she decided to monopolize Davy and take him herself to blow out the candle on the cake. Cynthia didn't seem to mind much, but Terence wasn't too happy.

(This is one of the things that annoys me about the babysitters in this game, sometimes the parents can't get close, this time not even on their own child's birthday). 🙄

Anyway, the Chos celebrated and cheered Davy on, accompanied by Brandon. We don't know why his wife Sandra and daughter Cindy didn't come. My sims' birthdays never turn out as expected, lol.

The animation picked up when Jaycen arrived. Too bad he didn't bring little Stephan, the son he had with Lina Lancaster, and of whom he is in charge. Yes, Jaycen is a single father.

The time is near! Davy was already put down, you know, as it should be done with every little birthday boy. 😆

A new problem emerged with Deanne, the Cho-Vanderburg's star nanny, it turns out that she wants to do her job so well, that she spends the whole night next to Davy's crib. A very commendable attitude, except that Davy's crib is inside Terence and Cynthia's bedroom.

Which leaves them without any privacy, causing more problems for the couple in their already shaky marriage. The lack of intimacy has got Terry riled up and Cynthia can't sleep thinking about her husband's anger. She loves him and wants to please him, but how with the nanny in their bedroom 24/7?

The solution of course is to get Davy out of the master bedroom, it's about time anyway, because in a few more days it will be his birthday, he won't be a little baby anymore, he needs to get used to sleeping in his own room, right?

Cynthia got down to action and worked for several days to set up a nursery for Davy. The result was wonderful, now he has a nice, comfortable space according to his age.

Terence and Cynthia rescued and restarted their intimacy, now they're the ones sleeping like babies 😉.

Note: I'm lazy about decorating, so when my sims' babies are born, I just put a crib and maybe a changing table in the parents' rooms. But babysitters, never knock before they come in, you know? Lol. So I always end up having to build functional nurseries, which is kind of fun after all. 😄

Terry is leaving home too, although a little later than Cynthia, since the casino opens at nightfall.

With both his parents out, Davy is left alone with his nanny, Deanne, and Cindy, the daughter of Brandon Langerak, Terence's right-hand man, who has come to lend her support. Davy, of course, is not happy with the situation. Davy: Mommy, daddy, mommy, daddy!

Deanne: Ugh, can you make him stop, he's splitting my eardrums! Cindy: Why me? You're the actual babysitter here, I'm just a backup. Deanne: Exactly, and it's your turn. Davy: Mommy, I want mommy!

[anamoon63]

Cynthia: So tell me, Deanne, what happened to you? Terence says you didn't do anything while Davy was crying. Deanne: I'm sorry, ma'am, but I froze when Mr. Cho walked in the room. Cynthia: You froze, why? Deanne: I don't know, there's something scary about him that makes me nervous.

Cynthia: Alright, Terry is a bit moody at times, but I'm sure he didn't mean to scare you, he's just upset because he saw you not doing anything. Deanne: Is he going to fire me? Cynthia: Oh no, I just talked to him, and he agreed to give you another chance, but from now on, you'll have to put all your attention on Davy, whether Terry is present or not, okay? Deanne: Okay.

Terence is getting to the second floor and from there he can hear everything. Terence: "So I'm scary, huh? Good!"

Cynthia: So, can I count on you, Deanne? Deanne: Of course, Mrs. Cho. Cynthia: Thank you, hon; you may not know this, but you and the other nannies are my saving grace.

Terence: Her saving grace, yeah, right… Whatever, nannies, are Cynthia's business, she must know what to do about them, I have much bigger fish to fry anyway. Just, if I catch that girl slacking off again, I'll throw her out on the street myself, period.

Cindy: Mommy and Daddy are out, but how about a flash card game? Davy: NO.

Deanne: I'm afraid he will continue that way for the rest of the night. Cindy: Okay, leave it to me, I have experience in this, because of my little brother.

It seems that Cindy's expertise didn't help much. Cindy: Grr, Davy, I've told you a thousand times that mommy isn't home, why can't you understand that?

Davy: *Ignores her*. Cindy: Fine, ignore me if you want, but your mom is out, and she won't come back anytime soon, so deal with it!

Deanne forgets about reading and starts playing with Davy tossing him in the air. Davy: (Laughs heartily). It works, Davy looks amused for a few minutes, but then….

Davy: You not mommy, I want mommy. Deanne: I'm sorry honey, mommy must be asleep by now, you need to try to do the same. I'll read you a story, okay? Davy: No, Mommy! And the story goes on for the rest of the evening, until Davy falls asleep. Deanne's daily routine.

[anamoon63]

Deanne: Davy, what is it, sweetie, do you need anything?

Davy: You not mommy, I want mommy!

Deanne: Aw, sweetie, can't you sleep? Come here, I'll read you a little. Davy: No, no read. I want mommy!
