I need advice
My 2 year old hates getting dressed and undressed. It's a daily struggle every morning and every night
(I do not like the idea of sleeping in clothes for the next day, besides it won't help because can't wear the same clothes all week and the struggle is getting dressed and undressed)

Currently I wrestle her into clothes and into pajamas while she kicks and screams. I'm physically exhausted after.

I do not know why she hates it so much.
I always give a heads up, like "after this book mommy is going to get you into pajamas"

Maybe a visual schedule would be helpful

I have used one I made with Google Clipart put into a sheet protector. I had my daughter cross off each task as we completed it. It helped her know what to expect and also made it like a little game.

Do you know what about getting dressed bothers your toddler?
If it’s the feeling of pulling the shirt over head maybe get button/zipper shirts.
If you go shopping with her and get a shirt she chooses will she want to wear it?

I don't think it's the clothes. I think it's the changing part. She is cozy in her pajamas and rather just stay in them. Then she gives me a hard time getting into pajamas at bedtime too.
