I agree. The check baby has too high of a priority. I've had instances where I have both parents home with mom is taking care of the infant and dad is nearby doing something else, yet for some reason the game automatically queues mom to abandon caring for the infant for the newborn. It's crazy annoying to try and take care of multiple toddlers/infants/newborns because no matter what your Sim keeps randomly dropping caring for one toddler/infant/baby to care for the other. I do like the automatic caregiving popping up so that I don't need to select feed/change diaper, but it's a bit overturned.
Also another annoying thing is that the new menus have buried feeding/changing diaper behind social interactions. Wish that the game would default make feed/change diaper in first menu right away so we aren't going through multiple menus all the time to direct them to care for the newborn. There are times when they'll check on the newborn, but instead of feeding/changing diaper they'll do a bunch of social interactions repeatedly.
Yes! I might queue up a bunch of interactions between the dad and the infant, only for the mum to swoop in and literally take the infant from the dad's arms to check on it, cancelling all queuee interactions!
