I found out theres no right answer or a answer that make your kid have + everything ### 3/5 — Found this in a CaptainSauce video *2025-12-24, version 1.41* The choices are ridiculously funny like when the baby wanted to go we could take him into a mall,zoo,or casino ### 3/5 — 🤩🤩🤩😩😩😩 *2025-12-20, version 1.41* So, honestly I'm a bit meh about this game. ### 3/5 — Name mayhem *2025-10-29, version 1.41* So good game but it will only let me name the baby after my favorite snake color or clothing line in the game and I lose points and when I use reusable baby underwear things it cry’s but I’m not watching a add to kee my baby happy ### 3/5 — Good game! *2025-09-16, version 1.41* I’ve read some other reviews and, well, I could see why they’re having issues with how the game works and the choices that are “right”… they wouldn’t be good parents. 😂 Telling your child Santa is real when we all know he’s not, well, that’s a lie. Teaching a child karate, if you understand karate, is not about fighting, but about building confidence and defending if need be. Violence is the last resort in any martial art. But anyway, this game is good. The only problem I have are all the ads. I don’t want to go “ad free” until I get a feel for the game, but I’ve watched way more ads than I’ve played the game. I could see an ad playing after each level up/aging, but every 4 choices? That’s a bit much. It makes me not want to get the extra rewards because I did that once, watched the video for the rewards, then had to watch another video to keep playing. I’m not sure I want to keep playing for that reason alone. ### 3/5 — New game *2025-03-06, version 1.41* Please make it to where you can start a new game ### 4/5 — It’s pretty good but *2025-02-24, version 1.41* So I was enjoying the game but then when I got up to age 18 all of a sudden I restart it. It was really annoying because I was really enjoying game. I was like oh my god this game like it was on the ads and it wasn’t which I was really annoyed but please if you can just fix that up and I will give you a five star review to my four star review into a five star review Thank you.🙏🏼 ### 3/5 — Please update *2024-08-25, version 1.41* I saw that the last update was 2 years ago. Please update something and do not add more ads especially when I click no thanks to an ad. Also let the baby be a girl or even let me have twins. Also I need to be able to save and start over. ### 3/5 — More content *2024-02-13, version 1.41* Once you finish age 18, it restarts from age 0. I enjoyed the game while playing but I suggest you add more content. I would love to see the kid move out on age 20 but he can still call you so you can still make choices. ### 3/5 — Idea *2023-12-20, version 1.41* So for an idea you could make a how many kids do you want then make it so you can actually name them then say what type of parent you want to be and what type of kids you want to have! Idk but that is just an idea that I think will make the game better ### 3/5 — Not bad but not good *2023-11-12, version 1.41* It’s fine not all that fun ### 4/5 — Good but *2023-08-06, version 1.41* Too many adds and I’M SUPPOSED TO PUT A KNIFE AWAY GENTLY????????????? ### 3/5 — To many ads 😭 *2023-07-23, version 1.41* The game is fine not to much to customize like the only thing is the room and that does not have anything either, My real problem is with all the ads like every 10 seconds you have to watch ads plus there on the bottom of the screen I would not recommend this game. ### 5/5 — PLEASE READ *2023-06-22, version 1.41* I LOVE this game! It’s a bit boring, but it can be fun, too. I searched a game with no ads, and this came up. So, of course I tried it! It does have ALOT of ads, but I’m happy I got it. So super fun, but beware if the ads! ### 3/5 — Its good but *2023-06-14, version 1.41* What’s wrong with Mandingo it after a clothing brand it’s better then food or a show/: ### 5/5 — This game is awsome! *2023-05-31, version 1.41* I love this game it’s so interesting and fun There’s nothing I can complain about the adds Are at the perfect time I just love this game I really like how the baby’s grow is one of the best Baby game I have Definitely recommend this game! ### 5/5 — Ooooooooh!😍 *2023-04-09, version 1.41* Its so funny when the baby crys 😂😂😂 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lowkey nah *2026-01-11, version 1.41* You act like taking a kids temperature instead of immediately calling the doctor is bad or smth. Also spanking a kid isn’t gonna make them dumber or lower there sense of what’s fair. Basically this game is just stupid. They prefer gentle parenting options over what’s actually useful which is just dumb. ### 1/5 — Entirely ads, no real choices, horrible game so not buy *2025-12-11, version 1.41* 👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — The glitch *2023-05-25, version 1.41* This game was really fun but once i got to age 16 it glitched out i tried again it wouldn’t stop i redownloaded the game it still happened so no! ### 1/5 — WHATS GOING ON !!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 *2023-03-22, version 1.41* IM TRYING TO GET THIS GAME BUT I CANT GET IT 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡. No IOS ### 1/5 — CANT MURDER *2023-03-19, version 1.41* I am very much aware that this child will not let me commit murder on it. You see, when I try to be a horrible parent, I fail... Why can’t I be a horrible parent? I am very disappointed that my request cannot be fulfilled. ### 1/5 — No *2023-01-12, version 1.41* It’s just not for me.
