Sims try to "watch tv with" their teen daughter

For awhile now I've had this issue where my adult sims will autonomously attempt to "watch tv with" their teen daughter and put on the kids network, as if she was a toddler who asked for the TV to be put on. Their daughter seems unaffected but it means if I leave my adult sims alone to play with their daughter inevitably one of them will go put on the kids network and get a bored moodlet from it. I can confirm the action is labeled as "watch tv with" and not "watch the kids network". I have a lot of packs but haven't had CC or mods in my game for years.

    Hello,

    This is not a game bug, please provide your feedback here if you'd like us to revisit this design choice.

    Thanks!

    I'm on PC, despite it saying "watching TV with" the teen never actually goes and watches TV with the parents it's just the parent sim watching while the teen does her homework or whatever she was doing, the watch TV action isn't queued up for her or anything. So it's just the parents usually one at a time autonomously "watch TV with"-ing and putting on the children's network and getting bored without their daughter being affected by it at all

    why would you choose to design an interaction where parents of teens "watch TV with" by themselves and get bored watching the kids network while their teen child doesn't get affected by it? what purpose does that serve?
