Unfortunately, yes. Especially when it comes to toddlers as their actions seem to get prioritised over everything else. Basically when you want an adult to do something with a toddler and its not happening or gets cancelled you have to check that the toddler doesn't have any other actions queued up and also check every other sim in the house fore actions with the toddler and cancel them if there are any
And a quick tip. When you get a toddler up to 4 or 3 movement it can open the fridge themselves and you can drag leftovers out onto the floor. Otherwise you have to get an adult to do that. They can grab stuff off counters and tables at movement 1. They cant use the get leftovers interaction though, The quickest way to boost movement seems to be the "play with them" interaction that also boosts attention and fun IIRC. I'll have to check if it boosts imagination, but I think it does. Its also fun to watch. Having the toddler click "whats this" on everything in the house (including their baby brother) boosts movement and the thinking skill but is slooow.
