So I woke up today, a weekend, and checked my phone to see that my reminder for watering my pumpkins passed two hours ago. Sure, it didn't degrade it much and it was to be expected as it was my first time planting them, but it still bugged me.

That got me thinking: How would I water them on weekdays?

Here's a chart of the general times someone would be able to play on Pixpets on a weekday, excluding working adults as I have no experience with such as a student. Even so, I know some people have similar timeframe, albiet just at different times. This is implying that the individual would not sneak off to play it while busy, as that isn't a good habit to encourage.



As someone who is required to go to bed by 10 PM (yes, I know that is earlier than most teens), it would be impossible to water my plants on weekdays without them degrading. Even if I watered them at 10 PM, they'd dry up in the middle of the school day.

So this leads me to this point: Does it matter if it affects most people?

While it may affect most people, it doesn't affect everyone. Not everyone works, and not everyone leaves home to go to school/work. This gives them an advantage over others. I'm worried some people might just give up if their plants keep degrading, or worse, bot the watering system.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there some secret, special way to grow pumpkins during the week? Any tips would be helpful. Thank you in advance!
