The second time he slept on B's floor for a week straight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663174 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 21:05:09 +0000 caterw 2663174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is the burpmaster- our new baby is is SOOOO burpy and spit-up-ey and he can always get her to burp without throwing up also. </p> <p>He is also a much better play-er than I am... I tend to worry about getting out the door/ making meals/ cleaning the house while I am hanging with DD1 while he totally focuses on her and will play toys for hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663148 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 20:43:44 +0000 JennyD 2663148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Patience! And he doesn't get hangry.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663142 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 20:40:35 +0000 irene 2663142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not exactly parenting but you can really count on him on the big things : handling insurance, setting up college savings fund (before tax), financial planning, and he cares a lot about DS's education. He tries to go to every school meetings and activities. And I count on him on cooking for the big things, such as Thanksgiving dinner... and he's an amazing cook. :P</p> <p>ETA: I almost forgot! He is really wonderful and patient in teaching DS about money. DS (turning 5 in Jan) would earn a bit of allowance every now and then, and DH would take him to the shop to look at LEGOs and toys and what not, and then he would try to discuss with DS if it is a good idea to spend this much money for a small box or save for later to get a bigger box. The past week we took DS to buy gifts for foster kids. He painstakingly helped DS pay at the cashier for two packs of hot wheels using the money he saved in the "GIFT" jar. (we have a save, spend, and gift jar system) I don't think I could do that if I were on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663066 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 19:05:12 +0000 Astro Bee 2663066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: @Mama Bird: Yes! DH is the master nail cutter. He can do the whole set in less time it takes me to cut one nail. DS will sit still for him but not me. To be fair, I did it when DS used to sleep through it, which was the first several months. </p> <p>DH is also better at giving him supper. I concentrate more on proper portions of the 4 food groups, while DH gives him a larger fruit portion than veg or protein, but he eats way more for him. I guess I have less patience for meal time. It takes so darn long!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663060 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 18:11:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2663060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has way more patience with our toddler in the middle of the night. I get so mad at being kept awake ornif she is fooling around. He started taking over all the toddler wake ups when I was pregnant with our second and we have kept it that way (fair, since I still get up almost every night with the almost one year old!). But if I go in I lose patience so fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663048 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 17:25:02 +0000 Corduroy 2663048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Naps and sleep training. I call him the nap master. Sometimes I have to leave the house so his magic is more effective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663046 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 17:22:49 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2663046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Forgot about this - whenever one of the kiddos gets sick, I clean the kiddo up while he deals with the mess in the bed/carpet/floor. I'll come back out from giving my oldest a bath after he's thrown up on himself, and DH will have clean sheets already on the bed with the gross ones rinsed out and in the washer already. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663031 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 16:34:03 +0000 youboots 2663031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dealing with everything gross, poop, barf, blood... he fixes it no problem. Also picking up her room. And putting her to bed. He slays it at parenting in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663030 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 16:26:23 +0000 psw27 2663030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting LO to nap well at home. He goes in and rubs his back and gets him to sleep immediately! I lose patience rubbing his back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663029 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 16:24:58 +0000 FaithFertility 2663029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does DD bedtime routine in a flash she is so good for him!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663024 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 16:15:19 +0000 Mama Bird 2663024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH sleep trained DD!!! As in, he puts her on her pillow and she stays there. If she gets up at night he talks to her till she lies down and goes to sleep. When I tried that, she'd just wail and wail till I let her nurse. Yesterday he asked me to put her to bed just to see if I can. Total fail, and I'm pretty sure she was trying to push me away from the crib and looking over my shoulder for daddy.</p> <p>@PawPrints: DH does this in our family too! The kids sit still for him. They wouldn't for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663006 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 15:46:33 +0000 mamainthesun 2663006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Patience! After work and cooking dinner I am exhausted and just want to go to be. So he does bedtime with love and patience, whilst I have no more energy to be patient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2663002 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 15:40:20 +0000 wrkbrk 2663002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Meals. She cooks (or prepares) 100% of his food. When it's up to me, he eats nutella on toast. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2662995 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 15:31:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2662995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not really parenting but he does 110% of the cooking/grocery shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2662983 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 15:12:26 +0000 MrsSCB 2662983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Patience. And changing every diaper when he's home :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2662976 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 15:06:14 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2662976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Packing us up if we're ever going anywhere. I have such a bad memory and I forget half of the stuff that we need. He's got that down pat and prefers that I get the boys up, dressed, teeth brushed and ready to go out the door. He gets all of the bags ready. He's amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2662971 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 15:01:37 +0000 jhd 2662971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He picks up toys. I was exhausted last night and went to bed. He stayed up and picked up all Lo's toys. Felt so good to wake up to an uncluttered living room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2662955 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 14:47:40 +0000 PawPrints 2662955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trimming DD's nails. He doesn't mind it at all. She's 20 months old and I have never attempted it. I think if he were to get hit by a bus this is the one thing he does that I would have the hardest time stepping up and taking over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-sos-parenting-super-power#post-2662812 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 12:30:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2662812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's the one parenting thing that your SO always KILLS it at? </p>
