Okay I’ve never heard of this superstition. Why can’t cut nails on bed while pregnant with 2nd?
Anyway, I will always distract my firstborn by switching on YouTube for her to watch while I cut her nails quickly and carefully. Sometimes she will pull her fingers but I’ll grab them and push her attention towards the phone instead. I’ll ask her what’s on and describe what is showing on YouTube. She’ll get distracted again and I’ll go back to cutting her nails.
Shows from Cocomelon, Bounce Patrol, Super Simple Songs, Chu Chu TV, Kids Diana Show, Gaby and Alex, etc. Sometimes she’ll ask to change, so I’ll entertain her first then back to cutting her nails. Or I’ll tell her, if you want to go jalan-jalan, must cut nails first okay? Lol. She’ll understand and stay put.
