I have been saying the same thing since day one with toddlers: The toddlers are self sufficient as long as you potty train them and leave servings of food in the fridge.
Babies are hell to raise in a household that is 4 or more.
The parents are paralyzed by the needs of their kids...it's almost like mass confusion.
I think it's some type of parental routing bug...too many demands from other actions going on in the game.
Sounds like being an RL parent, to me, Miataplay and @ natalie_barryy. No lie. The more children you have, the more exhausted and zombie-like you get. Well, at least until they are all above the age of 16 or so. 🤣
Teens can get pretty moody..acting like they on menopause too..🤣
Edit: Puberty can be real tough for some kids...others don't even notice it...(jk).
You are not wrong in that, Miataplay. And I say this as a mom whose kid went through puberty two times. ♂️♀️❤️
Wait, my toddlers cannot get food from the fridge. Pretty sure I tried that and they couldn't access anything. It had to be on a counter or table and they would swipe one and move on. So I put both parents through the cooking aspiration so that they could cook meals and leave them out and they wouldn't spoil. I legit had a huge island in the kitchen piled with meals lol. So are you saying the toddlers should be able to get food from the fridge???
Nightgypsy, I'm pretty sure that it's the young child/child stage where they're able to open the fridge. Toddlers can grab from a counter, but (realistically), aren't strong/big enough to manage opening the (supposedly) heavy fridge door. That makes me wonder, though, if the toddlers could manage to open the apartment/Euro/bar sized refrigerators. Hmmm ... ???
I thought maybe he misstated it but wanted to be sure because I have a lot of not right stuff happening in my game. It would be kinda cool if we could get a mini fridge that they could ask for a plate of food (toddlers can talk after all) and it would pop into a food slot for the toddler to grab (assuming adults had cooked and there is food in the fridge). Said fridge could be crafted from the robotics profession. I mean we have talking toilets so it is not that big of a reach! :)
