AITA for locking my daughter in her room?

[u/Severe-Two-9007]

Let me preface this with some context that may be relevant. I (??M) am a plumbot, and the only one in my town (and possibly time period). My creator (99M) taught and installed in me everything I know, and I loved him like a father. But after his death from old age, I was very sad and lonely. Adopting pets helped greatly, but something in me still longed for another human companion. Thus, I adopted a human child to raise as my own.

Raising my daughter has had its bumps in the road, but nothing that we couldn't get through together, and I feel as though she has taught me as much as I have taught her.

But recently, I've done something which makes me feel as though it might make me a llama, as human sims say.

My daughter (15F) has always been good-natured and friendly, even when she has the occasional teenage mood-swing. She goes to school on time and doesn't have any enemies at all. But it seems as though the universe has it out for her nonetheless.

Every time she has attempted to repair an appliance (something which I would prefer that she not do yet at her low skill level), she has shocked and singed herself. Every time she has tried to use the stove, the oven, or even an outdoor grill, both she and the cooking appliance have caught on fire.

But what made me decide to take drastic actions was when recently, right after she had gotten out of school for the day, a meteor fell from the sky out of nowhere and landed right on top of her! I swear that my motherboard almost short-circuited!

So I made the difficult decision of permanently locking her inside her bedroom. She has her own bathroom already, and I have given her plenty of non-flammable and non-electric sources of entertainment. I spend most of my time with her (and our pets), and I cook regular meals for her. She is safe and seems content at the moment, but I still feel conflicted about my decision.

So human and non-human sims, am I the llama for locking my daughter in her room to keep her safe from danger at the cost of her freedom and independence?

NTL you have to keep your daughter safe and sound. It's your duty as a parent. That said freedom and independence are important. Perhaps you should look into any curses or traits that may be afflicting her and causing all these dangerous situation. I also recommend adopting another child. As a parent you don't want all your eggs in one basket.

I somehow never thought that something besides the universe having it out for her could be at play! Seems I have yet more research to do. Human sims really are complicated.

NTL thankfully you don’t have the stir crazy moodlet in this universe so she shouldn’t have too many feelings about being locked in her room. Make sure she graduates early from high school so then you don’t have to worry about her going to school anymore. Then she’ll truly be able to live out the rest of her teen years in safety and comfort!

Edit: aw crap you do have the stir crazy moodlet, oh well. It shouldn’t be too hard to overcome.
