Well, as always, to each his own. Nobody is forced to try the game, but those who still want to will hopefully have a great experience. I actually know people who say playing the childhood is the part that is most fun for them. *shrugs* I personally enjoy all age phases because all of them offer a very different experience, though admittedly, the very first 3 days are a bit boring. It's more fun when the character can at least crawl around and wreak havoc on the overstrained parents.
