Toddlers... Most difficult thing ever!

I have always found toddlers a nightmare but in this play through they are just the worst! This sim family's children are all cursed or something. I can never get my sim parents to take care of the toddlers. They will put them in their chair but won't give them food. They will almost never give the toddler what they need when they "Check Toddler". One parent sets their kid down in a high chair with food while the kid is starving then the other parent walks over and takes them out! I sit there and try to command them to take care of their kid but most the time it barely works out well. Then toddlers run around and make messes every 10 seconds and smash their siblings doll house. Trying to get a toddlers emotions right is terrible. I tried hiring a nanny for extra help and the nanny doesn't even care about the kid. The Butler has too many jobs to focus on the kid. The siblings aren't old enough to feed it and stuff.
Everyone wants to play with the Baby but the second it reaches toddler all hell breaks loose and all the adult sims are like "Peace out". Then they become children and all is well again. I hope I'm not the only person struggling this bad. I don't know why the heck I made my sims have another kid.
This toddlers older brother was driving me bonkers as well cuz every time I fed him cereal he'd throw it on the floor.
However the twins my sims had before this baby were a lot easier to take care of. This is like the Grim Reapers child or something! Throwing tantrums and being mean to everyone. This kid was born for the "Mean" or "evil" traits.

    The toddlers are adorable but they are also pain in the butts too. My sims are having their first baby and I hope to God it works out!!!!!!

    A year later and this has become my problem.

    This is so frustrating! I literally had a toddler taken away because the parents just COULD NOT figure out how to coordinate themselves long enough to feed their starving child.

    The child was hungry, so he went to mom and asked for help with food. Meanwhile, dad was in the kitchen minding his business.
    Mom brought starving child to the highchair and set him in. Then she just LEFT. I told dad to feed him, since he was nearby. But then I guess mom suddenly remembered why she put her son in the highchair and glitched her way back to the kitchen to feed him. SO NOW TWO PARENTS ARE TRYING TO FEED THEIR SON BOWLS OF FOOD. Son couldn't even catch a break because mom took him out of the highchair and put him on the floor. I paused the game, cancelled both mom AND dad's interactions, and then took over the son to grab the food off the highchair and GTFO. But NO.
    DAD PICKED HIM UP AND SET HIM BACK IN THE HIGHCHAIR.
    Child got too hungry and he was taken away.
    RAGE QUIT.
