Comments on: The Sims & Boarding School? http://www.admissionsquest.com/onboardingschools/2009/06/the-sims-boarding-school.html Thoughtful boarding school commentary brought to you by AdmissionsQuest Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:10:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Macbeth http://www.admissionsquest.com/onboardingschools/2009/06/the-sims-boarding-school.html/comment-page-1#comment-5240 Macbeth Thu, 30 Dec 2010 05:58:05 +0000 http://www.admissionsquest.com/onboardingschools/?p=662#comment-5240 Sad to hear that instead of hiring a full time babysitter people still send their kids away to a boarding school. I understand life can be complicated, and I got 4 children and no family members in NY where I live, but no even once the thought of boarding school have cross my mind. I work full time and run a company but my kids come first. My mother send me away to live with my grandma and I will know first hand the pain and suffering this caused on me and promise myself I would never do this to my children. No reason is good enough to send your kids else where. Hire a living babysitter. Sad to hear that instead of hiring a full time babysitter people still send their kids away to a boarding school.

If you go through the object descriptions, you can find many little jabs at "real world" things, though some of them may not be obvious to people not in the Sims community. That being said, I wish getting into private school only took a hot tub!
