I'd like to see them take the shortest route in the farm. It also would be nice if they could make snares that would catch those darn parrots to use as food. The first or second level of farming should be enough to make snares.

And moms should be able to do work. In the real world a woman wouldn't be allowed to just sit around and "care for the baby." She'd be expected practically from the birth of the child to strap them to their back and work at farming and other things. The little kids should also have simple chores that help them gain skill points.
