Sims 4 needs more of a life for stay at home parents. add more cleaning options like window washing, lawn cutting, hedge trimming. actual laundry sorting/ironing/folding/Putting stacks of clothes back into the dresser of each room that has a bed+dresser in it, sweeping/mopping/vaccuming, bed making, changing sheets as they get dirtier w/ use, longer time preparing meals vs snacks and sack lunches. let kids and teen sims help cook.
Parent interactions in general:
- Have more options for a parent to be more iquisitive about school, classmates, teachers, school trips, school clubs, and homework.
- Argue w/ kids/teen sims about clubs they can or cannot do; player gets to decide and then gets to give a reason (not enough money/time/grades)
- Give out allowances
Also:
PLEASE LIMIT HOW FAR RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN A PARENT AND FRIENDS/ACQUAINTANCES OF THEIR KIDS CAN GO.
Sometimes my kid's parents become BFFs w/ their kids friends but barely like their own children. If the sim is a friend or acquaintance of their kid then the relationship should cap at a 50% friendship this way it is still possible to like the friends more than your own child, but not so grotesquely.

Butt.. this doesn't mean I don't like your idea! I would love all these things to be in the game.
But I'm a little worried that if our sims had to do so much householding, they won't have enough free time.
It's just something that should be really well thought out.
One thing I would love to be added is some way to do homeschooling. I think that would be a good occupation for stay at home parents.
An option "clean up" dresser/closet/cupboard/bookshelf would be nice. As they won't do animations for every door/drawer, they could just animate the sims rummaging around in front of them, pulling out fitting objects (from thin air) and throwing them away or "putting them back". To make it fun sims could find coins from time to time, toys or other small objects, maybe a forgotten book or something. This could even sometimes add a good or sad memories moodlet.
And i'd like to have back messy beds, that have to be made.
Invite teachers for tea/coffee would also be fun. Especially when the kid(s) have bad grades....
