I have been the fingernail/toenail cutter in the house since DD was born -- DH has never tried. Of course as a baby it wasn't an issue -- but for about a year now DD has completely freaked out every time I even ask to cut her toenails. I bribe her with painting them, try it when sleepy, when awake, try it with treats, etc. She makes it a real challenge because she kicks, rotates her ankles and scrunches and unscrunches her toes all at the same time. Talk about a moving target. We've tried talking it out to let her know it won't be hard if she'll sit still, which helps a little but not much.

She swears I'm hurting her but in 2.5 years I've never cut her. I'm sure it can't be totally comfortable if she's wiggling that much. FWIW she willingly lets me cut her fingernails.

Anybody else with this problem?

Thanks,
