Re: do you shower with the kids sometimes?

We give DD her bath at night so if for some reason it is skipped I have taken her into the shower with me the next morning. She loves it but it makes for a difficult showering experience for me so I don't do it too often. My mother occasionally used to take me in the shower too when I was a toddler.

Nah. I don't see anything wrong with it, it's just not for us.



Same here.

Re: do you shower with the kids sometimes?

Yes, and don't worry about it becoming a bad habit. I showered with all 3 of my older DDs, and it never became a bad habit. (My 7rd old would love to shower with me still, but during my recent pregnancy, I told her there simply was not enough room for her and my big belly!) And even though it was something that was started out of practicality, when time allowed, it was always a lot of fun - especially the singing!

My friend showers with her twin girls every day before their nap-they are 2.5. They have been doing it since they could sit up on their own. They love it and she gets ready when they go to sleep-works for her and she is showered and ready every day.

No, that's really the only time I get to myself once they wake up so I'm selfish about it.

Same here. I even started showering at night so I can take a nice, long shower.

Re: do you shower with the kids sometimes?

I would do it - I don't see anything wrong with it, but I take REALLY hot showers and I know that it would be too much for DD.

Re: do you shower with the kids sometimes?

I do quite often.

Most days, if I am trying to get in there - she is stripping behind me yelling me too, me shower too Chat Icon Chat Icon

I don't mind at all.
She loves it and it saves me time

Re: do you shower with the kids sometimes?

I can't imagine doing that IMO.
I feel like shower time is my time- KWIM? It relaxs me.
I like to take hot showers as well, which isn' t safe for my DD.

When she is a little older I will give DD a shower but not take one with her.

Re: do you shower with the kids sometimes?

I have taken a shower with DD. She enjoys the shower and playing with the water as it comes out of the shower head. We usually only do this when we're pressed for time or she is in desperate need for a bath as I am about to get it.

She prefers playing on her own in the bath with her own toys so we try not to take that joy away from her too often (and Mommy likes her time in the shower alone as well)

Nope, I never have. In fact, it's even rarer that I bathe them together! I always give DD a bath and DS a shower, separately!

me neither.

and I also agree with the mommy alone time, it would be a 3 ring circus in the shower if we were all in there Chat Icon
