Are your mermaids worthless?

I have a problem. An actual mermaid problem. My very first mer, a female named Maka, is straight up worthless.

Hear me out, she got pregnant quicker than expected, but I thought it would be okay. Her partner was skilled with food, and hardiness, etc. And she was family oriented, and Awesome. Or so I thought.

For some reason, she is buggy beyond acceptable limits. Yes toddlers got messed up, and island living broke things.

But she was the only one doing these things.

1. Staring at the toddler instead of feeding, cleaning, bathing, putting it to sleep. The twins almost died more than 10 times! It'd be hours later, and I find her blocking the bed. Or holding applesauce, while the kids meltdown. I aged them up before a week had gone by. She still sucked.
2. She can't walk at a normal pace. What takes other sims seconds/sim minutes, takes her hours. Like our hours. I've had the kids go to school, come back, do hw, play, eat, and sleep. Her wife upgrade 20 objects, garden, cook, and parent ,before she PICKED UP A SHELL.
3. She literally can't even do her job as a conservationist. I just cheat her now.

Why? Why is she like this? I made another family. This one with a mer father, and teens who are the kelp. Guess who doesn't get stuck trying to pick up shells?

All of those members were made post updates, with glitches rampant, and none act like her.

So I take the issue to you, good simmers. Do any of you have mermaids that just aren't getting it? Incompetent in ways that astound and disgust? Or did I simply get the weakest fin?
