Toddlers very sad for 2 days for nothing?!

I am playing the 100 babies challenge and something happened that really made me upset. I know the chance is thin that some developer might read this, but I really wish they would

One night my family got a phone call from a father of one of my kids if he could come and hang out. I invited him, he came, they chatted. When he was about to leave, he died of old age and the grim reaper came.

His daughter was very sad for two days, which is fine. The mother was sad (or very sad) for 11 hours. The others who witnessed his death also for 11 hours. I got them all the green drink which clears all moods and they were fine.

The two toddlers were asleep in their room at the other end of the house. They did not see him coming. They did not know him at all. He was not their father. They did not witness his death. They did not see the grim reaper.

These two toddlers became very sad for 2 days.

You can not give them the green drink, they won't (can't) drink it. If you take the normal lifespan, one day is approximately one year of a sim's life, so those toddlers are very sad for two years of their toddler life because of nothing.

It was winterfest time and the whole family was in constant uproar because those two toddlers were crying all the time. Even the mother got stressed, everyone was stressed, and I even had them yell at the toddlers (first time ever) as they would just come running to everyone and burst into tears 24/7 for two days.

This is way beyond my understanding. If they knew him, ok. If they were related to him, ok. If they had witnessed his death, ok. But they just happened to be in the same house, sleeping, and then that. This is truly beyond any measure and I deeply wish this could be changed.

Thank you.

    @PugLove888 @EloquentSickness @Trismagistos  Thank you all for your replies.

    I just wanted to point out that I was upset by the imbalance of how the grief was distributed in this family when that guy died in the living room while the toddlers were sleeping and they were in no way related to that guy.

    I understand that everyone in the family gets affected. I just don't understand why the sleeping toddlers would get 2 days, and the others witnessing it got 11 hours.

    It was definitely the grief symbol the toddlers had, dark blue with something like a windmill on it, the symbol sims have when they mourn the loss of a loved one. In the beginning there was no sentiment involved.

    The sentiments came as a result of the toddlers crying for two days.

    I do have nifty knitting, but none of my kids are knitting. They don't have time for something like that. I try to get them an A grade at school so I can age them up as soon as possible (100 babies rules) so they can sooner grow up and leave the household.

    I am using mods, but no mods which affect the gameplay in a way that relationships would change or toddlers would get more grief than others.
