I just installed the Sims 2 and am having a problem. Every time I start a family, mostly 1 man 1 women roommates, they seem to fail early. Usually it starts well, but then after a few days they lose their jobs, their stats lower, I cant get them to do anything grrrrr...

Can anyone give me a bit of help?

Do you have "free will" turned on or off. If its off then they wont do anything at all unless you tell them too. If you have it on then they will feed themselves before they starve, pee before they wet themselves and so on.
You can find the free will option in the options menu.

I am the Mindfreak...There's no reality, only this world of illusions....

If what menaceman suggested isn't the problem, it's probably just lack of practice. I'm always running in for my brother and getting all their stats up in his families. :b

maxmotives is a very useful cheat, as well, if you don't mind cheats.
