New Toddler Eating Disorders

I gave up on having a highchair for toddlers. If there is one in a home it is solely for decorative purposes. I usually leave a dining chair pulled away from the table and next to one of the parents so my toddlers can take part in family group meals. I think it's cute when they finish their meals, put their plates on the kitchen counter then return to the chair to continue talking with the family. It's a shame the highchair is such a hassle to use because it causes so much stress for the toddler and every Sim in the household. But I think we all find our own ways to bypass the fact the highchair is nearly impossible to use. It didn't have to be this way, but someone thought a toddler freaking out and pitching a fit every time he/she was placed in one is cute. Maybe once or twice but not every single time and I was disappointed there isn't more variety in available actions. I remember the toddlers in Sims2 would fall asleep in their highchairs. Too cute!
