I know this may seem like a hard choice, but I think you should reset your Tamagotchi.
Hard choices are what Tamagotchi are all about.
For example, I had a little Shirobetchi, the baby of one of my deceased. I was on holiday, so I had to keep pausing and un-pausing her all through her little baby stage. I felt bad, so I said goodbye, apologised and hit 'reset'.
