Sometimes the pathing in this game just boggles the mind...

I don't know what it is about toddlers, but feeding them is always a giant confusing disaster. My Sims seem to traverse the entire house before feeding the damn kid. In addition to the fact that my Sims love to autonomously put my toddlers in the high chair and try to feed them when they don't need to be fed, I've gotten to the point now where I don't even buy them a high chair. They just seem fundamentally incapable of using the thing properly. The toddler can just grab adult food off the counter and eat on the floor instead for all I care--it's easier.
