Toddlers: Do you max all their skills??

I max out their skills as soon as I can. They're much easier to take care of once they have skills. As a rotational player, I don't appreciate returning to a household with kids and toddlers to find the entire household in total chaos then spend ten minutes of playing time sorting it all out before I can move forward with the family's story line. Especially when there's a holiday on the calendar I am trying to celebrate with all my families. Or I have a family outing at the park or beach planned because mom or dad has that day off from work and the sun is shining.
