Now we bribe with a sticker per hand if no fight and it's much smoother. Now it's discipline. I'm the one home the most so I'm the one that primarily has to discipline and it's just such a bummer to not get to be the fun parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-least-favorite-parenting-duty#post-1938817 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 09:28:47 +0000 JennyPenny 1938817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clipping nails.

Cleaning up after meals is the worst. I made the mistake of giving DS raviolis with red sauce the other night and it was everywhere! I had to strip him down in the kitchen and we went straight to the tub! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-least-favorite-parenting-duty#post-1938791 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 09:12:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 1938791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bedtime, she fights it so much that it's always a stressful time. I do my best to keep calm but after 30-45 minutes of her fighting it it's hard. Second would be bathtime, it hurts anymore to lean over the tub with my growing belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-least-favorite-parenting-duty#post-1938781 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 09:05:45 +0000 JMOM 1938781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Giving the kids baths. I do them both at the same time and it feels like a nightmare. Neither of them listen to me and I just end up feeling frustrated and angry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-least-favorite-parenting-duty#post-1938773 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 09:02:10 +0000 blackbird 1938773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything i can't fix right away. i hate feeling helpless </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-least-favorite-parenting-duty#post-1938750 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 08:34:42 +0000 MrsF 1938750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MOTN wake ups.

Kids &amp;food are gross. Sometimes I can't even look at her while she eats because it's disgusting. She eats naked because she's so dang messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-least-favorite-parenting-duty#post-1938509 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 22:01:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1938509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Discipline. I hate it. I hate seeing him sad, mad, disappointed, etc. I hate how we can be having fun, and he does something naughty and our fun moment is gone because then I have to parent him. It's really hard for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-least-favorite-parenting-duty#post-1938508 Mon, 10 Nov 2014 22:01:02 +0000 Ra 1938508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bath time!

I don't know how they manage to make such a big mess of themselves and every surface around them. It takes forever to get them wiped up, change their clothes if necessary and then clean the table, chairs, high chair, floor and dishes. I get really excited when the meal I have planned is nice and clean! I'd rather change five poopy diapers, seriously ;)</p> <p>What parenting duty do you despise? </p>
