With their father they fall asleep in twenty minutes. With me it takes two hours.
It is not that he is better at it, and not that I am doing something wrong. With their mother children stop holding themselves together - and that is exactly why bedtime with her runs longer.
Part five, about what is happening in our house right now.

Same in our house. My husband does bedtime and they're out by half seven, I do it and suddenly there's a full debrief on the whole day plus three questions about sharks. I used to take it personally, now I think it's the only time they get me to themselves.
i'm the dad in this story and honestly it's not some magic calm energy. they just know i'm boring. no stories, no extra water, lights off, done.
when my wife puts our kid down it takes 20 minutes. when i do it it also takes 20 minutes but i'm the one asleep.
