These are just "a few" off the top of my head. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076608 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 11:50:46 +0000 ShootingStar 2076608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. First diaper change of the day. Other times he's fine, but first thing in the morning he cries as soon as he hits the changing table and tries to roll over.</p> <p>2. Inhalers. We have to give him 2 different inhalers twice a day, and as soon as I sit down with him he knows what's coming and cries :(. I usually have to hold his arms so he doesn't pull it away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076589 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 11:44:42 +0000 erinpye 2076589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 (34 months): eating, getting dressed in anything other than PJs, brushing teeth, flossing surprisingly is fine, putting lotion on, getting out of the bath, going home once we're out, clipping nails, going to bed.</p> <p>DD2 (12 months): diaper changes, napping, getting in the car seat, changing clothes, clipping nails, taking medicine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076563 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 11:38:00 +0000 Canoli 2076563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well let's see.<br /> 1. We have given up on trying to teach him to brush his own teeth. He is almost 3 1/2 and we just do it for him or it's not happening and we do it while he's watching TV or it's not happening.<br /> 2. Getting in the bath every night and then getting out of the bath every night.<br /> 3. Getting him to try new foods is a daily struggle.<br /> 4. Sitting on the potty. We've given up on that one for a while.<br /> 5. Going to bed!!!!!We have to take him in our bed with us and all go to bed at the same time so he'll pass out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076559 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 11:37:50 +0000 MoreCoffee 2076559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>- Diaper changes (UGH)<br /> - Getting on cold weather gear<br /> - Clipping toenails - for some reason fingernails are no problem? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076558 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 11:37:22 +0000 Greentea 2076558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diaper changing.

Somedays she LOVES it, most days she presses her lips together as I try and get the toothbrush in there.<br /> 2. bedtime - she does EVERYTHING possible to avoid laying down. Bathroom, needs a drink, wants another book, blanket is wrinkly, needs a different animal, ect. so frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076234 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 09:30:46 +0000 hilsy85 2076234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diaper changes, getting in the stroller (although much better since I started bribing him with short videos :silly: ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076163 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 08:54:19 +0000 blackbird 2076163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, it's getting her in the car.

I cheat though and often let him look at pictures on my phone while i brush his teeth. I get it done in a minute that way, no fighting and i do a thorough job. i try to only use the phone on mornings when we are rushing to get out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076145 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 08:46:32 +0000 LBee 2076145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately it's falling asleep at night. Dude, you are in your jammies, laying in bed, with a sound machine and a belly full of milk -- WHY ARE YOU STRUGGLING???? CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!</p> <p>It's been a rough couple of nights. At least once he falls asleep, he's usually asleep for the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076144 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 08:46:31 +0000 yellowbird 2076144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: same!

Most days, it's a struggle to get him to agree to pick up the crap he's strewn all over, get his coat on and say goodbye.</p> <p>mediagirl: we have struggled with everything on your list at some point, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-every-day-tasks-do-you-have-to-fight-your-child-to-do#post-2076141 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 08:44:20 +0000 mediagirl 2076141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just, you know, normal things you do in day to day life.<br /> For us, it is:<br /> 1. Teeth brushing. Some days we have to physically restrain her to brush them.<br /> 2. Getting pants on that aren't soft pants.<br /> 3. Brushing hair.<br /> 4. Taking a bath. Why must it end in tears every single time? </p>
