I was thinking recently about how I don't even think about showers these days...when dd was a newborn it was like my 10 min me time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-925350 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:45:53 +0000 googly-eyes 925350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Wendy Williams cracks me up. I used to watch her when LO was a newborn. I have a photo of LO looking at the tv (it was brief!) with WW on the tv like she's watching her.. @Ree723: @Running Elley: I totally agree about nap time. My dd is a TERRIBLE napper, so nap = unload/load dishwasher, eat a frozen meal, sit, maybe do some bill paying or whatever on a good day...45 minutes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-925349 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:45:50 +0000 fussygal 925349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the shower part, but not the getting ready and doing my hair and makeup part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-925333 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:35:10 +0000 Boheme 925333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhhh yes. As soon as DH wakes up every day, he gets the baby and I get a shower. It's my break from the newborn trenches every day and it is glorious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-925263 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:48:28 +0000 autumnlove 925263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but not with a toddler knocking on my shower door! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-925227 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:29:46 +0000 dolphin 925227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love a hot shower. It's my relaxing time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-925222 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:26:38 +0000 jhd 925222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love long showers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924893 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:53:10 +0000 Happygal 924893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. Really hot ones. I have often just stood there until the hot water is gone.</p> <p>@Artbee--I'm with you on the after part (blow dry hair, put on makeup, etc.), but what's the before part you don't like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924885 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:51:47 +0000 deerylou 924885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: Agreed. I think my magical power of choice would be to snap my fingers and suddenly be scrubbed, washed, shaved, blow dried, and clothed.</p> <p>That being said, I love a cool shower on a hot day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924881 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:50:39 +0000 Running Elley 924881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: Lol I hate taking showers during naps too because it feels like a complete waste of the precious me time :)</p> <p>Eh. I always feel better after taking them and I looove them after a long, hot day when LO is asleep and I can just relax. On a daily basis they're just a means to an end for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924873 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:49:08 +0000 MapleMoose 924873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers are so tedious with all the shampooing and shaving and whatnot. But I take one every morning regardless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924801 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:34:38 +0000 yin 924801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy taking showers when DH is home playing with LO. I like to take my time. Since I stay at home, I don't shower everyday so it's a treat. While on vacation last week I enjoyed a shower every single morning, and man was that a luxury for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924494 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:34:45 +0000 heffalump 924494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like being in there, but don't like the before and after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924491 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:34:29 +0000 Ree723 924491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually enjoy them if I'm taking them on my own and someone is watching LO. I begrudge them if they fall during LO's nap time as that cuts into the time I have to myself. And if I am showering with LO, which happens about 3 days per week, I don't mind them, but they certainly aren't relaxing or enjoyable for me (LO loves them though!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924481 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:32:21 +0000 Boopers 924481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not like taking showers and avoid taking them if I can. Gross, I know. I don't really enjoy being wet and I don't even like to go swimming very often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924475 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:30:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 924475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I don't have kids so for now I can luxuriate (Wendy William"s word). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924471 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:29:31 +0000 MrsF 924471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy them if M is sleeping. Otherwise there's crying and I'm yelling "you're ok! mommy's coming!" while I"m shampooing. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924457 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:27:10 +0000 MrsStar 924457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers these days means getting in, getting clean and getting straight out. I haven't had a leisurely shower since before lo was born. I miss baths, we have one here but it's quite shallow and the hot water is terrible plus I never get the time to enjoy one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924404 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:18:00 +0000 jmarionsmith 924404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm so lazy that if i could do without them, i would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924394 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:16:20 +0000 Smurfette 924394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love showers as long as I know R is being taken care of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-taking-showers#post-924382 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:13:07 +0000 Bao 924382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do if I take them when LO is in bed. If she is awake they are usually rushed showers because she is whining for me. </p>
