I'm 38, have loved Sims for years.  I started full time work after sixteen years of being a stay at home Mum, and now I miss my Sims! oh and my kids!  I actually find that telling my friends (oldies) that I play Sims in my spare time, they get interested and eventually addicted too.  One friend makes way better houses than me and we brag about how many generations we can grow up at once etc.  A good way to "police" your use of Sims is to use it as a reward - for example I would iron one shirt, then reward myself with 5 minutes of Sims, before I know it a basket of ironing is done and two generations have grown up happy and healthy.  Oh yeah, all my kids have been at school for two years now, so I haven't neglected anyone while playing Sims!
