Parenthood: Gaining Responsibility?

Hey! In my game, it seems like everything I do affects responsibility, but in a negative way? It's not always when I do something that should impact the character values either—I can have kids literally sitting there and watching television, and somehow that's making them irresponsible. It's gotten to the point where I have two toddlers with 100% negative responsibility, without doing much other than babble to their parents (and no, they haven't made a mess yet, this is a brand new save/family). I haven't found anything about it online, and I've read that responsibility is one of the easier values to influence but I'm just... struggling, lol.

Is there a way for me to change this? Is it just because they're toddlers (and therefore, can't be responsible for anything), and do I have to wait until they're children to rectify it? Is this a bug? Any help would be appreciated. I don't have any mods installed, so that can't be the issue.
