I don't know where I'd be if I didn't do that.</p> <p>In the long run, now I have to shower at night. My days are much more active than they used to be while working a desk job...running after my son is a workout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-235195 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 09:27:33 +0000 chopsuey 235195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't showered since Monday. I REALLY don't wanna shower today, but DH's coming home so I'm forcing myself to :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-235190 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 09:26:35 +0000 Rubies 235190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was first born, I didn't have time to bathe. But since she started taking regular naps (4 months?) her first nap became my showering time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-234121 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:17:36 +0000 doodlepoodle 234121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the same with @MrsBells, I was always a morning shower kind of gal, now I shower at night before bed, but after J has been put to sleep. That way I don't have to miss out on any more time with him than necessary. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-234115 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:14:59 +0000 kokobee 234115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have to shower everyday. it's like my caffeine. if/when i miss it, i don't function well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-233848 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:35:00 +0000 betsyboop 233848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make it a point to shower everyday, i just dont feel right if i dont. But i wash my hair every other day, same as before my lo. I also wear makeup everyday - prob not necessary since i dont go out everyday but it's my way of maintaining some sense of normalcy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-233796 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:13:50 +0000 brownie 233796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I just took the baby in the shower with me. It was one of the few ways to calm him down. He still showers with me if he is awake. I sometimes miss showers because it is 15 minutes of my life I will never get back and I have way too many other things I need to do. But never cause of the kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-233775 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:03:02 +0000 Mrsbells 233775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shower at different times now. I used to always want to shower first thing in the morning when I wake up to feel fresh. but now I share late at night usually midnight or later just before I go to bed when LO is sleep and all her bottles are clean and everthing is done. So i still shower everyday just at a different time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-233769 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:00:09 +0000 winniebee 233769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - I used to rarely go a day without showering and now I miss a shower at least 2x a week and sometimes 3x. LO is 10w and I definitely have time but sometimes goose to do something else (eat, email, work out at home, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-233759 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 10:51:50 +0000 Andrea 233759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, that is a non-negotiable for me! I have cut back on make-up, hair, and getting dressed time, but I also started WAH after having a baby so I don't have to look that nice when at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-shower-andor-bathe-less-now-that-you-have-kids#post-233753 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 10:49:28 +0000 mrbee 233753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty common to cut back a bit on showering and bathing right after having kids. For me, the big thing I cut back on on was shaving. It just takes a lot of time!</p> <p>But after a while, hygiene becomes easier to fit into your day. I now shave almost every day, either before I go to work or in the evening before I go to bed (so I don't have to shave in the morning). And I take a bath with Charlie every evening, so that's covered on a daily basis.</p> <p>Do you shower and/or bathe less now that you have kids? </p>
