What’s something that you unexpectedly became an expert in after having kids?

What’s something you have had to learn and have become good at, after having kids?
I’m not talking about the cliche - diaper changing, meal serving etc but something you didn’t even think was ever going to be in your wheel house.
I’ll go first:
Snaking shite out of a toilet - like, i have this $10 snake i bought 5years ago, i bought in desperation but ended up calling a plumber anyway but since that time…I’ve fished out quite a few toys on my own- I’m kinda impressed that it’s getting way easier to do bc i had no idea that this was a needed skill set
Edit: just returned home from a week long work trip and 2 of the 4 toilets were clogged with a toy

How to prioritize and twist schedule up to make it all work. You only think your life is busy until you throw a couple of kids in the mix.

Closing doors behind people.
Being able to predict the volume level of a TV from another room.
Inventing new creative words to convey how pissed I am without cursing.

My kid pissed himself at 30,000 feet on Friday (twice) and my three month old decided to blow out a massive poop five minutes after that.
So you could say I have "a particular set of skills."

Maybe you should become an expert in teaching your kids not to flush toys.

It’s the youngest- (2yo) snd we are going to get those door non things but yeah, In a perfect world, teaching him not to do that would be great- the other three have been relatively good at it but baby boy is adventurous
