Bathtime for sure.
She's so little and slippery, and can't hold her own head up, so it's difficult to get her out of the bath and into her towel with only two hands.

Definitely getting ready for bed, AKA taking baby out of bath and listening to her scream bloody murder since I took her rubber ducky away, and then having to wrangle her for a diaper and pajamas.. So glad to see I'm not the only one! Didn't realize this was a "thing" for other babies too!

Diaper changes after a blow out! Especially if LO is wearing a onesie and trying to get that off her body without making an even bigger mess.

The entire night time routine! I get so tired. The whole cooking dinner, feeding, cleaning up, bath time - it's so much more enjoyable when it doesn't drain me of the entire 1% of energy I have left from the day spent with the LO's.

Nail clipping and snot sucking. Help with all the other things would be nice, but those are the two things that I really wish we could do together. Sometimes my MIL helps with the nail clipping and I use my leg over LO (along with my arms) when snot sucking, which helps a bit.
I wish I had help with big medical stuff (ER, shots, etc), the morning routine, and bedtime, as those are the things I find stressful.

Playing referee by myself between the kids is what I hate the most. Everything else is doable..

@HLK208: I have to agree that the end of the day is so tough when you're solo parenting for a few days. The whole meal prep, feeding, cleaning up, bathtime, and bedtime can be so exhausting when you've been through the whole day solo...especially when it's several days in a row. And you have 2 kiddos! I'm excited but scared to have baby #2 bc my husband is traveling more for work and I almost can't wrap my head around how people survive solo parenting a toddler and newborn

The evening is tough to handle alone. The time from 4p to bedtime is a blur

@HLK208: it is really draining! It takes me about an hour to recover after the kids are asleep.

Bathtime, diaper and jammies for sure. LO hates getting dressed for bed and always throws a huge tantrum when we are trying to get him dressed. Ugh.
