Non clicky poll: Your most hated LO related chore.

Mine is cleaning the high chair top. Hands down. Unfortunately it doesn't fit into the dishwasher so I have to wash it 3x a day. It came with a little plate that fits onto grooves on the high chair top, but DD currently enjoys throwing it (and all her food) on the floor.

Washing sippy cup straws.

Thats a good one! Our insert comes out. Hmmm I would say changing her diaper lately has been a nightmare! She is ALLLLL over the place flipping and flopping ughhh I get so frustrated.

roxysurf99 · April 2010

I entire nighttime routine. I love the kisses, but I can't stand the rest of it, and its all of 10 minutes long.

NHMountainBride · April 2010

Washing bottles. Once we switched from Dr. Browns (so many damned parts) to Drop-Ins I started to hate it less, but I still hate it. I think it's because I do it at the end of the day when I'm exhausted, and it's something that HAS to be done everyday (we only have enough bottles to get through one day). Ugh.

cleaning the floor - I swear I could mop every single day and the floor near his chair would still be filthy (so I choose to just not do it) Smile

I am so glad I'm not alone on this one. I just leave the food on the floor and one of the cats usually eats whatever is on it. I wake up in the morning and it is miraculously gone.

TheFannins729 · April 2010

that's funny because I was just telling my friend how the top is useless because shane gets food in between the top and the tray...defeating the purpose completely. therefore, we don't even use ours.

I hate with a passion above everything else bathtime. He loves it. But we end up with water everywhere, toys constantly being thrown out and a boy that won't sit still long enough for a diaper and jammies. and dh is never home in time for bath time, so I always do it. every night. except sundays where it's dh's turn.

Bathtime. DS hates it with a passion and refuses to get in the tub. (Like, he goes as rigid as a board and clings to me. I physically can not put him down.) So now we do sponge baths most days, and showers the others.

fxz109 · April 2010

Washing dishes and sippy cups.

And I'm tired of chopping up food into little bite-sized pieces for every meal. It just takes so looong to get her meal together because I have to pulverize it.

miss.jess · April 2010

Bath time. She wants to stay in there forever and is a nightmare when we take her out. DH is so much better at staying and playing with her while I rush her out because I get ADD.

ncbelle · April 2010

Does brushing his teeth count??

hewinked · April 2010

When she was younger, cleaning bottles. Hated it. Now it's probably bath time. I really just don't have as much fun as DD does.

Aly07 · April 2010

I LOATH changing his clothes. In the morning he wakes up and 3 hours later he takes his only nap of the day. He stays in his PJ's until after naptime. Whenever he wakes up I put him into his outfit for the day. It is so annoying. He screams like I am torturing him and tries to run away every second during it. Then it happens again at bed time, only worse because at that time because he is tired. Thank Goodness that my DH is home 4 out of 7 days a week by bedtime.

Ciconrad · April 2010

I don't like bathtime and I feel bad because DS loves it. I should enjoy having fun with him but it's the end of the day and we've been playing all day. I'm tired. DH does it almost every night while I do chores around the house. He's just come home from work and has fun playing with DS and I just want a break from anything kid related - even if it means I am folding laundry. It works for everyone involved, but I do feel guilty sometimes that I am just not into the bath routine that DS loves.

Danie.T · April 2010

I hate baths, and it is probably only because DD hates it.

MrsKenney · April 2010

Prepping for the next day. Washing out the lunchbox from daycare and repacking it for the next day. It's always at the end of the night so I'm exhausted and hate doing it.

I had the same diaper changing challenges with our little moving target. Try playing the body part naming game as a distraction. Have her point out her nose, eyes, mouth, etc. Good luck:)

My least favorite chore is definitely cleaning out sippy straws.

macchiatto · April 2010

Cleaning the floor after they eat. :P
Though I am also really hating changing 6-7 RANK poopy diapers a day. I kinda miss infancy when I was only changing 4 poopy diapers a day (1 from Alex, 3 from Will) and they didn't smell nearly as bad.

Disneygeek77 · April 2010

Changing diapers. Still hate it and try to get out of doing it all the time.

courtneyaok · April 2010

I hate bath time because I get soaking wet every.single.time.

I also hate it when DD throws a tantrum because I'm trying to change her diaper. Especially when it's poopy and she refuses to lay down. I've actually resorted to sitting over her (like kneeling, with my butt in her face) because it's the only way I can keep her down long enough to change her! (Oddly enough, she gets a total kick out of it when I do that -- she loves playing with the pockets and buttons on my jeans.

kpips20 · April 2010

Washing the sippy cups. The only one's he'll use have the straw and they're such a PITA to really clean. His highchair is also a monster to clean so I only do it about 2x a week (other than the tray which gets cleaned 3x a day)

sarahns80 · April 2010

Clippping her nails only b/c she hates it and it's hard to keep her hand and foot still. I have cut her twice which makes me feel horrible. I try to get DH to do it.

tlynnus · April 2010

Hands down, changing his diaper. He flops all over the place and wails like someone is trying to kill him. Lately, I've resorted to pinning his arms with my legs. Oh how I wish the boy could just understand that if he held still the change would only take a few seconds instead of the painful 5 minute process that he turns it into. It really makes me wonder what the hell I was thinking when I was cheering for him to learn to roll over. It is so bad that DH & I play rock, paper, scissors to see who has to change him when we are both home.

faBriezy · April 2010

Teeth brushing, hands down. He hates it. Were talking gagging, flailing arms and legs, and biting. I'm having heart palpitations just thinking about it.

KGsky · April 2010

Big stinky poop changes.??

AmyDrinkie · April 2010

Bathtime, b/c it's after dinner and bending over so soon after eating aggravates my GERD in the worst way.

This, although it's not really DS's fault. We have dark (cherry) finish hardwood floors that are sooo pretty, but they show every little smear, smudge, and water mark. I've become obsessive about mopping, and it kills me.
