putting him to bed only because since we moved it seems to take double the time and start later. it's basically my whole evening on the nights i do it. i am working on getting him to fall by himself again, and earlier.

@Mae: My LO is terrible about throwing food. He has a throwing obsession that ia going to drive me up a wall. At 20 months he finally doesn't throw food on the floor unless he's bored or done with his meal. The taking it away never worked for me because he would happily never eat if I let him.

Mine is also feeding LO. She just always needs entertainment of some kind to get through a meal (me singing songs, or reading a story, or something) and she eats soooooo slowly. Every meal takes at least 45 minutes.
And, ironically, I guess feeding is my least favorite part with the newborn, because it hurts so much. meh.

Bedtime for my 3 yo. My 16 mo is a breeze to put down but it's a battle with my 3 yo. And I'm just so drained at the end of the day...I lack the energy for it!

Anything involving whining?
I would say it is errands running. Dragging her to and from the car at the beginning and end makes me crazy, unless we get a really good spot. It is especially true in the winter. #streetparkingblows
@Mae: has she started the thing where she'll half chew the food, then spit it out and throw it on the floor? This is my personal favorite.

@LovelyPlum: so funny how different experiences are! Running errands with fia is one of my favorite things! I was actually bummed this week I had to grocery after bedtime and I missed my shopping buddy lol. But we have a garage so that is nice
she does pull chewed up food out if her mouth but only if she took too big a bite or doesn't like something. That doesn't bother me so much. It isn't even the mess of it all I mind it's just that I want to be able to set a pile of food in front of her and let her eat or not eat until she is full and then we are done. But she requires so much management right now! Dh and I can't have a conversation during dinner bc we are so busy dealing with her

Taking lo to public bathrooms.

Right now, changing her diaper. The entire time she tries to twist onto her back, crying, attempting to grab at the dirty diaper and fling it.....it's awful. I try to give her a toy to distract her, but that only works for about 30 seconds. Feeding her is also troublesome, but if she throws food now, the meal is over. I figure she's not hungry anymore and it's been much more pleasant for the both of us. And she 9 times out of 10 eats great for her next meal.

I think bedtime is the worst right now. It's a 45 minute battle at least to get her to settle in to bed (blankets tucked in a certain order, etc).
Either that, or dealing with the tantrums.

@Mae: this is why Dh and I usually eat dinner after she goes to bed. Which, with the bedtime battles we've been having lately, means dinner is sometimes at 9. It's not ideal and by then we are mindlessly eating in front of the TV.
I forgot- going up the stairs in our building is probably the worst right now. She wants to walk by herself, not hold hands, but she is so slow. And she stops and says "what's that?" to the same random stains on the rug every time. And touches them. And just stops for no reason. And it's hot in the stairwell and I'm usually carrying stuff and half the time end up carrying her half way in a football hold with her yelling that she wants to walk.
That would be my parenting kryptonite these days.
