I admit, I am a perfectionist who feels the need to get everything and I mean everything done. But I feel like there's never enough time in the day. Fishing, foraging, animals, gardening, training, gift giving! What kind of schedule is everyone else on? I've been trying to do a schedule of wake up > care for barn animals > let them outside if the weather is good > train and love pets > love on farm animals > garden > train horse > fish > give gifts > forage > fulfill requests > garden > go to bed.

I'm sure I'm missing something here but regardless, it's been hard to adhere to said schedule because stamina or cutscenes or something just gets in the way.

Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the answers! I think I will try to make a schedule but keep in mind to take it slow and just enjoy the game.

I understand the story between the boy and the girl (I assume he keeps referring to her as friend and this bothers her, then at the end, she realizes he's been with the other girl the whole time) but I am very curious about the play they're putting on. Is this a well-known story or was this something created just for the music video?

About six months ago, my older brother moved in with my grandmother, my niece, and me after getting kicked out of his previous place.

For context, my brother (A) is an alcoholic and likely has some level of alcohol-related brain damage. His memory is inconsistent. For example, he’ll ask a question, leave the room, then come back and ask the same thing again. We are currently trying to get him help.

I handle the food budget. It’s the main bill I cover, and I receive just enough to feed the household. Since he moved in, I’ve had to stretch things further to make sure everyone, including him, has enough.

The issue is that he eats everything without asking. Early on, I made a pot roast and specifically told him not to touch the leftovers because I was saving them for my niece. That night, I woke up and found him eating all of it.

Another time, I made fish for the rest of us and chicken for him since he doesn’t like fish. When dinner was ready, he went into the kitchen first and took almost all the food, including the fish, and mixed it together so we couldn’t even recover it.

He also wastes food. He’ll make a plate, take a bite, leave it for hours, then make a new plate because the first one is “bad.” I’ve started putting his food away when he leaves, but he gets upset when I remind him it’s still there.

I try to meal prep, but he eats ingredients meant for later meals. I’ve tried buying extra snacks, but he goes through them in a day. Talking to him hasn’t worked. At this point, I’ve resorted to labeling food or hiding it.

While some of this could be blamed on his memory, I’ve also caught him trying to hide food when I walk in. For example, my mom sent money for two pizzas. I bought one for my grandmother and him, and one for myself and my niece. I walked in and found him eating from mine, and he tried to hide it.

I finally told him he needs to ask before taking food because it might be set aside for meals or for someone else. My grandmother thinks this is rude and believes anyone in the house should be able to eat whatever they want. She even got upset when she saw my labels. She said if we run out of food we'll just have to "make do."

Now I don’t know what to do.
