Help - stuck in toddler bedtime routine for 2 hours

Just got my 3yo down after a 2 hour ordeal involving: water, 47 questions, requesting each parent separately, crying about socks, and me reading Goodnight Moon in three different voices. It's 9:30pm. I have nothing left in the tank. How are other dads handling the bedtime battle? Do they eventually get faster at this or does it just...not get better?

2 hours though? That's brutal. We had to go nuclear and just stop answering the "water/bathroom/one more question" cycle at some point. Like physically we had to get out of the room or my wife would lose it. Now it's "one water, one bathroom, then we're done" and we stick to it even when he cries
wait are you doing different voices EVERY night or just when you're desperate? asking bc my 4yo would 100% demand that every single bedtime from now on
