I hate cribs!

Sorry if this sounds like a lecture, especially coming from a non-parent in real life like me, but if you are going to regard very young sims as noisy and inconvenient and you don't want them at the family dinner table, then you might want to reconsider ever having them and perhaps opt for puppies and kittens to raise. Or you could adopt older children, those are easier to control.

It's not like that. I enjoy the younger sims and I am always able to choose their traits when they age up to children, so I have been doing a good job in teaching skills and giving them attention. It's just the irritated toddlers stuck on cribs and high chairs that really irritate me! At least they don't scream like sims 1 babies. :scream:

(the dislike children trait by the way, as far as I know, means literally just children (that life stage). If your storyline dictates she doesn’t like having kids I fully agree with you though, I’d stick to that plan then as well)

The trait also gives a 3 hour negative moodlet when interacting with babies and toddlers.

Feeding them on the floor saves a little time for the parents at the time of the feeding, but overall doesn't really save time, because they will get hungry again sooner if they're only fed a bottle, and will have to be fed more times each day. My toddlers get fed in the high chair at the same time the rest of the family is having breakfast, then they don't need to be fed again until dinner, about 12 hours later.

Interesting. So giving them a bottle on the high chair would just be waste of time and I have done that before. :D
