When she was a newborn he was great at swaddling her and just getting her to calm down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821978 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:36:13 +0000 Ra 1821978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot to add cutting B's nails.

It takes forever, I don't have the patience for it, but it keeps him from flipping out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821908 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:10:58 +0000 looch 1821908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is better at disciplining, he doesn't flinch like I do when we have to do a time out. He rides it out, I cave.</p> <p>He's also better at being less structured than I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821905 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:09:24 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1821905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bath time and playing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821888 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:00:38 +0000 cmomma17 1821888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bath time and nail clipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821815 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:36:26 +0000 hellobeeboston 1821815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, another bathtime vote!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821810 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:35:42 +0000 blackbird 1821810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle of the night nightmares/freak outs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821808 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:34:55 +0000 Caly 1821808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clipping their nails, they're so darn wiggly!

I just get annoyed (and impatient.... probably because I deal with it more, and am tired and pregnant) but DH stays pretty calm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821474 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 12:15:04 +0000 78h2o 1821474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dealing with her when she is whiney or crying. I get exasperated more easily and have a hard time listening to her cry.</p> <p>Also, for whatever reason (maybe because it's novel), she will sometimes let him do her hair or brush her teeth when she won't let me do it. "Mom's going to brush your hair now..." "No, no!" Ok, do you want Daddy to do it?" "Yes!" Oh well... at least it get's done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821470 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 12:12:49 +0000 jmarionsmith 1821470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Physical play. DH can spend hours rough housing with LO and I just don't have the energy or stamina. Granted, I am 38 weeks pregnant, but even if I weren't I'm sure I couldn't play with LO the same way DH does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-so-better-at#post-1821461 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 12:09:09 +0000 Ocean girl 1821461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Putting her in her high chair/car seat!
