Sentiments are driving me mad

What the heck kind of game mechanic would have a mother with a festering grudge against her CHILD because once when she was a toddler, she didn't want to take a bath? I thought those things were supposed to fade over time. I have aging off, and this has been going on for Sims weeks. It's truly the dumbest thing I can imagine.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Maybe before I try the cheat I'll get mom to take her on a mommy and me date and shower her with attention. It would be interesting to see if that helps. Provided I can get her out of the rage she was in yesterday just from being in the same room with the poor kid. LOL.
just have them hug it will make it go away after like five hugs
@PriestessBizarre well... maybe they could automatically pause the game, or move the camera to the sims interacting so that we notice what is going on. The notifications aren't enough, they are too generic to me.
@permanentrose I wish I liked them more too. They don't seem to affect my game that much, besides annoying me sometimes. I think they thats cuz they tried to sell them to us as memories, but they aren't memories actually.
The only reason I know what all this stemmed from is that at the moment mom tried to bathe her and she had a mini meltdown, I happened to be watching them. I checked sentiments immediately, and there were hard feelings on both sides. If I'd been watching dad weed the plants, I'd have never known what the heck happened. I can only imagine if I didn't even know what caused it, I'd be even more maddened. If that's by design, it's a poor design indeed.
I'll also try the "hug it out" method. Thanks for the suggestion, @comicsforlife
That's my main gripe. Aside from the annoyance of something so minor seeding a festering grudge that's lasted for years, it's messing up my sim's perfect life. It may be boring, but it's my preferred playstyle, and it annoys me that something out of my control is mucking it up.
But she was angry with all of her family members for weeks, it only faded the next time the festival came around and I was able to find the blessing in the interaction menu.
However, this time, she was angry with her toddler brother for not giving her "the blessing of Youth" like excuse me what? Your brother can't even give you the blessing of youth because he's younger than you, you fool. Who on earth programmed the way these sentiments work/activate? They're so wonky and all over the place. Not to mention lifestyles are bugged to Hell and back as well.

The cause was I took the family to one of the festivals. The rest of the family took off to the bar to use the restroom, and I let them do their thing while focusing on the child trying to find some hidden thing that was the focus of the festival, or so I thought.
Finally, I brought the entire family together for ice cream, and then everyone went home. A nice outing, or so I thought. Soon after, the daughter, who had a great relationship with her family, started being upset over something from the festival that I was unaware her family was supposed to do. Kid was mad forever. I changed to a different household and know to NEVER take a child to that festival again.
Seriously, everything in Sims 4 is too much or too little. I really wish they tested more before releasing new packs.
Ah, I read this after my post. This is same thing that happened to me. So crazy making 😂
Toddlers should not hold festering grudges towards anybody. Their minds just don't work like that. I actually downloaded a mod from Zero for this issue a few days ago.
I like the sentiments but I feel like they need a lot of improvements.

Otherwise, I'm just poking around in the dark about what to do or waiting for it to go away.
But then there's the dumb stuff. Like I sent one of my couples on a hike since the weather was nice. They stopped to enjoy the scenery, and while they were stopped, the girlfriend was attacked by hornets. Her boyfriend then became angry with her for being attacked, and had negative thoughts about her because it ruined his hike. I was floored. Instead of being concerned for her wellbeing he was angry AT HER that she got attacked...where is the logic here?
yes they do
