I'm not an expert, but the programming seems to have an issue with a string of if/then commands. If the dependent cries it triggers the "check dependent" command in all caretakers ques, but the program has to allow for each que to be fulfilled in turn before any other interactions can take place. Unless, an action is cancelled in a caretakers que, for example not being able to reach the baby because another caregiver is blocking the way. Once each que is fulfilled, interactions can continue, but if the baby cries again (which it does, because it was put down) it begins the process over again until the infant falls asleep without its needs being taken care of. This becomes a nightmare when the household has multiple dependents and caregivers and worse with the family oriented trait.
