Haven't tried it yet, but thanks.
Now, some ideas since they are easy to give:
In between 6 and 7 in the morning, both parents are missing. What i'm proposition are some "minor" additions.
6:00 - 6:15 wake up by alarm, use the toilet
6:15 - 6:45 take turns showering, getting dressed
6:45 - 7:00 mom makes breakfast, dad does something.
Sveta can walk in on them getting dressed, but gets sent away with a dip in relationship if there's no reason for her being there.
The bathroom door gets blocked or not occasionally while they're in the shower, letting anyone walk in or peep. Both Sveta and Kolka do so and can catch each other in the act (peep).
In the weekend, the alarm isn't set and the parents will sleep in at times or have a morning "brawl" (bed or shower), making for more diverse mornings.
Other family stuff:
- when father is at garages and Sveta walks in the kitchen, mother may send Sveta to father with something as a chore or reverse. For example, "Your father is getting old, go get the groceries from the car. Help him out more."
- When going shopping, mother may ask any of the kids available to go help carry them. If relationship is good, she'll bribe with candy, if bad she'll threaten with a beating.
- Birthday celebrations: Everyone has a birthday, could they be celebrated? Mother's day, father tells you to go buy flowers. Father's day, mother gathers the kids and sends them to pick something. Kids get cake.
- Old apartment buildings break down all the time. No hot water or at all, rusty piping, electric cables chewed by rats, decaying walls, random leaking, horrid smells, loud neighbours.
- have mother be more naggy about doing homework (i often forget it needs doing)
- a common thing about siblings is that farts are a lethal weapon for when you want them out of the room
My mind wandered off and forgot the rest. So this is it for now.
