DH is fine with poopy diapers, bath time, cleaning her ears, but he will not cut her nails or use the Nose Frieda.
-
He does everything. I took over nail cutting once I got the hang of it due to my own ocd.
-
Nothing! He does it all! Though he thought the mosefrieda was pretty nasty
-
@Smurfette: He only refuses to deal with jammies with snaps/buttons. He has a strict zipper only policy.
I however refuse to clip nails!
-
He doesn't do nails, but he will hold her while I do it. Otherwise we split everything down the middle.
Edit: he won't pick her nose...I have no problem with this! haha
-
DH gags at every poopy diaper (super dramatic...) if I am home- he passes him off to me! He wont cut LO's nails (although I have never asked him too- but I fear lil B would lose a fingertip) He wont use thermometer.... it freaks him out.... oye.
-
Nothing--though he hates rubbing in nappy rash cream I still make him do it!
-
Clip his nails, he cut DS's finger when he was 2 weeks old and has refused since.
-
@cmomma17: Mine hates the snaps too but so I try and lay out the zippers on the weekends when he is home. I am buying 2 piece sets for the summer!
-
I think he does the same gross baby stuff that I do. If he's sick, he can't handle the smell of the poopy diaper. Yet, he gave me some crap for not wanting to eat or make a dinner that LO puked recently.
-
He hasn't cleared out his nose (um...I get a lot of satisfaction in doing it...) or clip his fingernails, and I don't think he's ever cleaned out his ears (but E almost never needs that or taken his temperature.
Doesn't normally mind poop, though, except for that time he threw up because of it!
-
@Smurfette: My DH won't do his nails either! I mean, he'll do it if he absolutely has to, but prefers that I clip them b/c I'm so quick. That's probably one of the only things!
-
Dh will not cut nails, he clipped our older daughter's toe a bit once when she was a baby and has refused to do it ever since.
-
He does everything, but if I am home, there are things he still prefers I tackle, albeit with his assistance, i.e., clipping nails and the NoseFrida.
-
It's kind of a long list...
He won't lift her in or out of the bath, wash her hair, wipe/pick her nose, clip her nails, take her temperature (not even under the arm pit - definitely not the other way), put on diaper cream, or put on a sleeper with snaps, pack the diaper bag, touch baby food or breast milk, wear any type of baby carrier, make her do tummy time, put her down for a nap/bed, read aloud or sing.
-
He'll do everything. I don't understand not doing something for your own child, if they need it.
-
He does everything!
-
He does it all!
-
He does it all, but usually defers to me on nail clipping bc its easier for me.
-
Nothing. Well, he wouldn't use a noise Freda, but I wouldn't either. We have an equal share in all parenting things, when possible.
-
He does everything. He didn't start doing nails until we had 2 kids, though. Finally built up the nerve, I guess!
-
He won't clip his nails. When LO was really little (maybe 1 month), DH clipped his finger and LO freeeeaked out and cried for a long time (and it bled a lot). Ever since then, I've taken over the nails.
-
He does everything. I guess he has never clipped his nails, but I don't think I've ever asked him to do that...
-
I don't think he's clipped M's nails, but I'm sure he would I'm a pinch. He does everything else though. He just did the nose frieda 45 minutes ago while I held her hands.
-
He won't clip nails, nose frida, wash hair or feed her anything that he thinks looks gross or smells gross in his eyes. He also doesn't like to clean out her "girl parts" (as he calls them) during a diaper change. He also won't pick out an outfit (unless it's jammies) or pack the diaper bag. So weird.
But he will do all poopy diapers and vomit, so it's all right
He'd probably do the other things if I was unable to.
-
I wouldn't put up with him refusing to do any task that parenting entails... he's just as much her parent as I am, he can't just opt out of parenting.
Thankfully, he doesn't try. He's a very involved parent.
-
He used to be scared of cutting her nails when she was really little because she was so squirmy and he accidentally cut them a little too short once.
He does everything, 100%!
-
He does it all- we try to leave the snapped jammies for each other because we both hate them
I stopped buying them once I figured out what a pain in the ass they are.
-
Actually, my husband does more than me, because he is the only one that can properly dispense medicine. When I do it, my son spits it out.
-
@Arden: exactly, not even an option in my book!
-
@blackbird: ditto
-
He does everything but prefers if I feed him. For some reason, puréed food grosses him out.
I won't clip his nails. I'm too scared. That's DH's job!
-
Clip nails. He clipped a single nail and then got nervous.
-
He does everything. He prefers that I clip their nails, but would in a heartbeat if I didn't mind doing it.
-
@blackbird: It pisses me off that he won't do the Nose Frieda. He said that he did when I was gone for the weekend back in November but now if I am home he won't do it.
-
Clip nails here too!!
-
He hasn't really ever said no to anything but I feel like he wouldn't want to use the nosefrida lol
-
He does everything except clipping nails. When DS was about 6 weeks old, I accidentally got part of his little finger and it bled and he screamed and I cried hysterically. Since then, we are both leery of the task...I actually still bite LOs nails off at 5 months old! Am I gross? I figure I'll keep doing that until he's more mobile and touching goodness-knows-what.
-
@Arden: I love seeing your DD and DH on your IG, he seems to just absolutely adore her and it's so sweet! Lol I hope that doesn't make me sound like a creeper!
-
He does it all.
We fight over who's turn it is to change the poopy diapers though. I usually win because I say, "I did a poopy one while you were at work", sometimes that's a lie.
I stopped buying them once I figured out what a pain in the ass they are.
