@autumnlove: I offered Olive the chance to breastfeed once as a joke, but thankfully she just gave me a dirty look!!

He's never trimmed her nails or brushed her teeth. I think those are the only two.

DH has never trimmed her nails or changed her bedding if that counts.

Never brushed her teeth. I am pretty sure never cut her nails. Very rarely puts her down for naps, almost never for nights (but we nurse). Very very rarely sprays out poopy diapers.

@MamaCate: DH rarely dumps dirty diapers too. He always asks for my "help"... Which totally defeats the purpose of him changing the diaper in the first place.

Lots of things lol.... Give kids a bath, trim nails n toenails, brush teeth, cook for the kids....

@Weagle: to be honest i do most of the diaper changes too. I would say that he "forgets" but I think he really does not think about it...He will come in and be the entertainment while I clean up nasty poops if he is home, so maybe that is something?

He has never trimmed her nails or bathed her alone; he said the thought of either activity is "terrifying". He gets up early with her on the weekends so I can sleep and cooks us amazing dinners while I do bathtime, so I'm fine with being the only baby-washer!

He's never suctioned his nose. That's the only one I can think of !

@autumnlove: same!!! In DS's 4 years of life, he has never trimmed a finger nail. Same with DD, at 10 months! So crazy. He also has only given her one bath.

Hmmm, he's super hands on so it's hard to think of one! Maybe trim her nails? And BF-ing

Nothing! He has done everything at least ONCE. I'm not saying he's great at all of it but he attempts. He is better at trimming nails than me because he can hold lo's hands steady and I'm too nice about it;)

Finger nails for sure. Oh, and baby laundry. Although he'll scrub stains out of her things if I leave them soaking in the sink, so maybe that's not entirely fair...

My DH also doesn't do any nail trimming, he has also never done any baby laundry (cloth diaper or clothing).

Nail trimming, nose sucking and putting in the laundry. Though he helps take the laundry out and fold it.
To be honest, neither of us have ever done a solo bath! I'm still terrified and its been 7 months!

@sunny- My husband fears giving our son a solo bath, too!
I do all the bathing. It is a great opportunity to bond with my son. However, my son did not always had a positive experience with water so I had to take little steps to ensure his baths were a pleasurable experience for him.
For the first month and two, I gave him sponge baths instead. He would cry every time I tried to give him a full bath and I think it had to do with the water turning cold fast. Now at 3 months, he has gotten so much better and is enjoying being soaked in a small tub of water. The key is to keep the water warm (I cover his body with a warm little towel and would replenish the towel with warm water to keep him from getting cold) and try to maintain the warm temperature throughout until you are done. My son loves his baths now.
Good luck with your first solo bath.

Wow, baby nails are my husbands department!
I'm pretty lucky...the only thing he hasn't done is give him a bath solo, and strip his bed. Or laundry, but that's one of my chores around the house.
He can't dress him in a matching outfit to save his life though...ha.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
Nada! He does everything routinely. I'm not allowed to cut T's nails b/c I have poor eyesight!
@dagret: Same. He always dresses him in the weirdest matching stuff (ie, non matching).

I think he's done everything at least once. He's probably only trimmed nails one time, but he has done it. Of course he's never breastfed but he did feed our oldest a bottle of pumped milk a few times (until I decided that was too much work and I'd rather just nurse him).

@winniebee: one day he had 3 pieces to 3 different outfits on. They all had different animals! Did he really think penguins, monkeys and dogs went together? I mean technically it matched by color. I'll at least give him that.

he does everything. except he has only trimmed 1 nail....he's too worried he's going to cut him, so that's mommy's job

@winniebee: @dagret: oh yes! He's dressed lo in exactly one outfit he picked out. Because this happened:
It was November >_<
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@dagret: hahah!
@sera_87: wow. Does your hubby pick out his own clothes?!
GOLD / wonderful grape / 20289 posts
I'm pretty sure he's done it all. At least he tried to cut her nails.... I'm not so sure he actually did it though.

DH does everything. He even puts DD's hair into pigtails, when she asks.

DH has not trimmed fingernails (but i wouldn't want him to because he's not great at delicate, detailed things like that); given LO a bath by himself (DH has helped); and most importantly, hand washed poop off of clothes/sheets to get the stains out before putting in the laundry.

@sera_87: hahaha! So funny!
DH doesn't change many diapers and had his first open air poo last week. He was in the nursery squeeling and I was in the kitchen trying desperately to muffle my hysteria.
He hasn't done her nails, a solo bath, folded or sorted her laundry, put her to sleep, nose frida-ed......man I need to put him to work!
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
He does most of the chores. I don't think he has clipped her nails but I hardly do that so, that's not a big one.

@sera_87: Haha - so hilarious! I love the two different plaids
Things DH has never done: Clipped her nails, given her a bath (helped once), done her laundry, chosen an outfit (I usually set one out for her, but if I don't he just carries her around without clothes...).
He has recently started helping me wash bottles - that is SUCH a big help!!
