I know exactly what you mean and it is easy to understand : you are fighting the autonomy option located at the game settings. In previous games if a certain sim is interacting with something and another one wants to use the same thing they would wait for them to finish before trying to use it, now you can tell a sim to feed a toddler and as soon as you sit him on the high chair the second one would pick it up to play. The sims 4 is the only game where your sims don't do what you tell them to and it gets annoying if you tell them to read a book to increase skills and they suddenly stop to watch TV or dance.
It seems lately that my Sims are ignoring my commands way more than when I first started playing around 6 months ago. Sometimes when others Sims are interfering with baby or toddler care I can send them off to do something else but they often don't go or if they do, they come right back...
When one Sim is in the bathroom and needs to go, I've seen them shoo the others our of the room. Why can't they do that when another is in the way of caring for a baby.
I don't know if I'm just asking too much of the game but it seems to me that the updates usually cause more problems than they fix..
