Single Parent Scramble

📖 The story

One adult. Five kids. No co-parent walking through that door, ever. It's the daily juggle every solo parent knows — homework, tantrums, dinner and a job — turned into a full challenge, and there's no second pair of hands coming to save you.

💝 The goal

Raise **five children** to happy, well-adjusted young adults as a single parent, with **no co-parent** ever in the home.

📋 General rules

• Only one adult in the household at any time.
• No money cheats after setup.

• All five children must launch into young adulthood healthy and happy.

✅ What you can do

• Hold any job and use school and daycare as normal.
• Use `bb.moveobjects`; ask friends/family to visit and help occasionally.

⛔ What you can't do

• No co-parent, partner or spouse living in the home — ever.
• No live-in nanny.
• No money cheats.

🎮 If you don't own the packs

Fully base-game. Parenthood adds character values to measure 'well-adjusted'; base-game uses school grades plus green needs instead.

💡 Strategy tips

• Stagger births — five toddlers at once is unwinnable; space them so older kids can semi-self-manage while you handle the youngest.
• Parenthood's character values are your scoreboard; consistent discipline and encouragement pay off at every life stage.
• A work-from-home or flexible income keeps you present for the needs crunches.

💕 Milestones — track your progress
