My Child Was Just Like Me

Just as we left the homes our parents have built for us, our children will leave the homes we build for them. One player takes on the responsibilities of the parent. Build a home, save money and care for your child. The other player takes the role of the growing child. Spend money, free yourself from your parent and flee the home, grow up and repeat the cycle with switched roles.
