GTKY: Most favorite/Least favorite baby task

ChicagoBroad26 · January 2014

What's your most loved and most hated baby related task?

Love: Giving a bath, feeding before bedtime, reading books

Hate: Cleaning the high chair. I LOATHE this so much. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

BellaBean76 · January 2014

Love: Ladies lunch! We go out to lunch every Thursday just her and I;). And tired snuggles...she is so independent I love when she rests her head on my shoulder and is not trying to bite it. Hate: getting her in her car seat. Always a struggle!

farmerpinky · January 2014

Love: nap snuggles, reading

Hate: diaper changes, getting her into car seat. She doesn't want to be stilll.

Edit to add: BATHS! She screams like I'm killing her for anything involving water.

Hate: changing clothes/diaper. He throws tantrums screams and cries now. Sometimes I think he could give a bodybuilder contortionist a run for their money.

Love: His tired cuddly, kissy time right before he goes to sleep. He has had his bottle but he just wants to kiss and love on me before I put him down. It melts my heart. I also love taking him to restaurants!

TuckleUp · January 2014

Love: first thing in the morning when he's so chipper and cuddly. He's also really into playing together now, and it's a lot of fun. Hate: cutting his finger nails (haaaate) and diaper changes are usually stressful.

Love:baths, reading, and feeding him hate:giving him his vitamins, washing his dishes (specifically the breast pump parts)

I hate putting him in the carseat, too. I love most everything else :-) Except when he is being super fussy... then I just can't deal. I need to work on being a more patient person (it was actually a New Year's resolution).

ClandestineX · January 2014

@Pinottoparenthood , I understand exactly what you mean. I am not the most patient person in the world.

I love bath time, playing, and talking to him.

I only dislike trying to put a new diaper on him, he sits still somewhat for the cleaning but once I am done with that it is like 3928 octopuses flailing about.

skidderdo · January 2014

Love: story time
Hate: washing bottles

24ladybug · January 2014

Love: hanging out together. I talk to her all the time. It's gotten me a lot of odd looks until they realize I have a baby with me.
Hate: putting her in her crib and her crying before she goes to sleep.

MittyKitty01 · January 2014

Love walking in the door after being at work and seeing her light up.

Hate the car seat. I hate it so much I'm considering getting a whole new car seat.

Knitfaced ... I hate doing the crib sheet too! We have to lift the whole mattress out and I get so frustrated ! My husband has to do it haha

Our mattress is really light so I don't mind doing this. However, I hate folding those damn things!

Meggs2559 · January 2014

Love: bedtime bottle, picking him up from daycare, seeing him when he wakes up in the morning

Hate: crib sheets, washing bottles and labeling all his daycare bottles and bowls, leaving him in the morning

MsAmeera25 · January 2014

Love : Morning "kisses" he crawls over and smacks me until I wake up every morning then smiles its the cutest thing

Hate: Diaper changes, he wiggles so much it exhausts me.

melissad23 · January 2014

Love: morning sillies and laughs, running errands with her - she really does so well.

Hate: I also h-a-t-e changing the crib sheets.

danuli8 · January 2014

Love: Reading, snuggling, playing games, quiet nursing times
Hate: Baths, getting him in the car seat, MOTN wakeups

sapphire021 · January 2014

Love - Baths, and morning silly time

Hate - the convertible car seat! my cars are so tiny that I have to have such precision in not bumping her head on the door jam, which is not easy with a flailing infant who does NOT want to go in.

cfattig · January 2014

Hate: I also hate cleaning the high chair. It's a 100 year old family heirloom (beautiful, but...) and has lots of crevices. I also hate the limited amount of time I get with him on certain days, but that's not a task. Oh, and pumping. Sick of pumping.

Love: bedtime cuddles of course. Probably even more than that is the giant "mom-I-missed-you-so-much-Im-so-happy-you-are-here" smile I get every day when I pick him up from day care. Makes all the tasks worth it.

JSS1002 · January 2014

Hate: cutting his nails, changing poopy diapers when they aren't solid, the schlepping of things (ie, diaper bag, toys, in and out of carseat, juggling him getting in and out of stores, the fact that I can't just dash in somewhere, etc).

Love: everything else :-) Love teaching him about food, snuggling, his pure unadulterated joy and laughter during bath time, reading to him, singing to him, and when my husband makes him laugh (he throws his head back and laughs like a 5 year old), my heart explodes into a million pieces.

superToots · January 2014

Love: walks with him in the ergo, bath time

Hate: washing the cloth diapers, cleaning him up after a meal, gymnurstics

I HATE cleaning the high chair too, but make it more bearable by hosing it off in the back yard once a week... but then again I live in sunny California B-)

lilbit0910 · January 2014

Love: Playtime and cuddle time with Rylee

Hate: Diaper change. its not as easy anymore with a squirmy baby

zipscheer07 · January 2014

Love: Nighttime snuggles, her beautiful laugh when we are playing/tickling her, walking in from work and her lighting up, her crinkling of her nose when she smiles, bedtime bottles, first time seeing her in the morning and so on and so on.

Hate: Laundry. I spray everything so it looks brand new and it takes forever.

burneyonboard · January 2014

Love: bath time, watching him crawl and play, his smile and laugh

Hate: giving him medicine, changing his clothes, pumping, and cleaning the high chair

hatroopes · January 2014

Hate washing bottles, pump parts, changing crib sheets, trying to clean her nose (she sees the nose frida now and just starts crying lol).

Love everything else especially playing with her!. These days she'll actually initiate peek-a-boo and it's her favorite game to play. She's also learned to say "uh oh" and will say that all day! She loves giving wet kisses and is so fascinated with my hair and pulls on it constantly haha
