Re: Do you let your toddler

I usually shower during her nap or before she gets up.

It she's awake I let her play in the bathroom while I take a shower.

Re: Do you let your toddler

No way...during the week I take a shower in the morning before he wakes up and on the weekends DH is home. I wouldn't trust him one bit, and to be honest, I think he would freak out if he knew I was in the shower and didn't let him in with meChat Icon

Re: Do you let your toddler

I will usually put on a show for her in the LR, but she generally winds up in the bathroom anyway.

Yep.

I put a show on for her and she's totally fine. She sometimes comes in the bathroom or plays with her toys instead of watching TV, but she is totally okay by herself.

I only do this once in a while since I shower before she gets up on weekdays and DH is almost always around on weekends, but I would do it on a daily basis if I had to!

Re: Do you let your toddler

Yes, she's 29 months & I've always let her loose. Our house isn't really babyproofed either except for outlet covers. I feel they need to learn what they can/can't touch...our parents never babyproofed our houses. She usually prefers to stay in the bathroom & sing to mommy or give her ducks baths in the sink anyway.

No, he moves chairs to get things he wants and would do that. I shower at night or make him stay in the bathroom w? me on the rare occasion I shower during the day. But also I have Newborns and cant leave him alone w/ them...If they cry he will try to climb in the crib to soothe them.

I think she'd be OK if I put on an episode of Diego but I still have never done it and don't think I can yet.

Absolutely not. He would destroy the house and it is WAY not childproofed enough that I would be comfortable leaving him alone for more than 2 minutes.



Ditto!!

Re: Do you let your toddler

Yep. I rarely get up before her and she hasn't napped in a year and a half (she is 3 1/2). And when she did nap I had work to do. I used to bring her in the bathroom but then she learned how to open the door. So now I just leave the door open.

I strap him in the highchair and leave the bathroom door open. I peek out and he is more concerned with the moose than anything.

Yes, I do. But she's a mellow girl who I know is generally not climbing/jumping while I'm in there.

Can you close him in a particular room while you're showering? A safe room, obviously?



same here-plus my house is so tiny that it's like showering with her in the same room. the door is open just in case-she usually just watches Dora while i am. she is really good.

Re: Do you let your toddler

No, I let her play in our bedroom while I shower in the master bathroom and I close the bedroom door so she cant get out. She is just into everything nowadays and climbs on everything.

everything in the living room and kitchen is baby proofed and i close all the doors to keep her out of everything else, so I can shower. I just take a quick shower.

I have had to jump out to check on her if it was too quiet.

Re: Do you let your toddler

Yes we do. We bring him into our bedroom (shut the door obviously) and he plays in our room with some toys we have in a bin up there, while we shower. Chat Icon

Re: Do you let your toddler

yes I do, she is old enough to sit and watch TV while I quickly shower, if she needs me, she will come into the bathroom (I leave the door open when I shower)

NORMALLY, I shower when dh is home but I have showered and left her in the LR



Same here with my girls.

No. I either wait until she is asleep or while she takes a bath I take a shower (it is a separate stall)

Re: Do you let your toddler

I have, but for the most part he just comes in the shower with me. Chat Icon He's a big fan of taking showers, so usually he'd rather come in with me then stay and play with toys. But I do leave him inside while I walk my dog in the front yard.

Re: Do you let your toddler

Sometimes I can if I barricade him in the LR with his favorite show otherwise no. Which mean the quickest shower ever and open bathroom door to hear him.

Or I put him in his crib. And I have a crib tent for months now. If I did not have the tent, I would have to have a toddler/twin bed. I can't trust him not to climb out.
