Ok I just don’t get it. I mean the girl has an evening routine. Take medicine, brush teeth, put on pajamas (unless clothes are soft and comfy), read book, give water (optional), say goodnight 3,000 times, etc… So why is it that she won’t let me, her father, brush her teeth? I go in there with her, and she just screams and flails. When she was littler I could just hold her down and that was that. Now she fights me tooth and nail. Now when Mama goes in with her, Claire sits like a good little girl and just lets her brush teeth number one through number 20. Just like that. I don’t push harder. I don’t jam the brush into her gums. I don’t vice grip her to the toilet. Nothing. So what makes me the anti-dental mean daddy who just can’t get it right?
