I have experienced this issue every time I've ever played this game, on multiple computers through multiple uninstall/reinstalls and on different EA/Steam accounts... Parents and Nannies NEVER take care of the children. I've given up on ever having an infant in the house cause parents WILL NOT care for them. Toddlers I can at least micromanage the hell out of and use the tablets and force a Nanny into maxing out their skills until they Age Up. Infants I just age up as soon as possible cause there's no work around that I've found between defective Nannies and Neglectful Parents.
At first I thought the parents not taking care of kids was just funny, but now it's annoying. Cause I will queue the parent to feed the child and it'll take like, 5-10 in game hours to get it done. I recently discovered the Fill Needs cheat and OMG it's a godsend to take care of the kiddos.
If anyone has a fix for this I would love to hear it!
@EverWolfy Sims logic is a bit backwards - adults can’t cancel infant/toddler queues but infants & toddlers can and often do cancel adult ones. It’s like, you want to feed me? No, I’m too busy crying about being hungry, so go away.
I’ve found it usually works a lot better if you play as the kid and request food/bath/bed. Though unfortunately you can’t request tummy time or crawling practice for infants - but if you cancel everything in the infant’s queue before asking the parent to interact with them (or just reset the infant) it works a bit better.

May I ask how you reset Sims? And what all that entails? I've seen that a few times now but I'm not sure how to do that/what it all affects for the Sim. Like, would it affect Skill levels and relationships?
- @EverWolfy Simply shift+click on the sim and choose "reset". It will not change anything about your sim other than cancel queue actions and will sort of soft "debug" them into autonomous compliance. Some of the time this is not enough, but it does help me other times.
