On the wknds... it's usually longer since he likes to watch tv and get distracted :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67138 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:14:18 +0000 Andrea 67138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: ahahahahaha! Yes, it is a 20 min poop! I thought maybe it was TMI to say that but since you asked I will confirm! I told DH that almost everyone gets ready quicker than him and he told me ask about pooping. I said that I can't possibly start another poop thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67132 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:01:33 +0000 tequiero21 67132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: does he take a long shower or poop? lol i think my hubby spends like 20 min just taking a poop. if he's not in a rush, i think it takes him about 5 min to think about what he's going to wear (he pretty much has to dress up most days).... takes about 10 min to eat, sometimes longer if he's looking at news or something... hmmm. he may take about 40 min or so to get ready too haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67096 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:49:54 +0000 heffalump 67096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby is pretty slow. I feel like he has to just stand there and do nothing for at least 15 minutes each morning, because I can't imagine what takes him so long. Not that I care though... more time for him to be home with me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67094 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:42:22 +0000 Mrs Sorbet 67094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband takes SUCH LONG showers, too. And he likes to take 2 a day, but I gripe about the waste of water lol. I think it's just relaxing for him to stand under the hot water.</p> <p>I can be ready in 15 minutes if needed, he needs at LEAST 30-40. He's higher maintenance than I am but he would never admit that :D. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67080 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 07:50:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 67080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He takes the longest showers ever. I spied once and he was literally just standing there. Once he is out of the shower though , he is quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67066 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 07:33:27 +0000 mediagirl 67066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He takes like 30 to 40 minutes. That's longer than it takes me to get ready! I don't know what he is doing in there that whole time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67015 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:05:08 +0000 chopsuey 67015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH gets ready SO fast. 10 minutes tops--shower, hair, clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-67007 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:42:51 +0000 Andrea 67007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seems like almost everyone is quicker than DH. Grrrrrr. Wish he would speed it up but I guess that is just his thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66899 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:29:37 +0000 joyjoy 66899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby goes from the bed to clean and dressed in about 10 minutes, 20-25 if he has to shave. Shaving is the only thing that takes him awhile because he has this whole routine where he starts with oil, then shaving cream on a brush, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66892 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:22:20 +0000 Clementine 66892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say 15-20 mins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66891 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:21:42 +0000 HabesBabe 66891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 mins if he needs to shower, 30 mins if he needs to shave &amp; shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66883 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:16:07 +0000 Mrs. Pink 66883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually about 10 minutes to really "get ready" but then it takes him an additional 10 minutes to locate all of his stuff (wallet, keys, cellphone) LOL-- drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66865 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:45:55 +0000 Rubies 66865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes my hubs 5 minutes to get ready but he wastes time! Whenever we have to go anywhere, I give him a 45-minute warning. He says, "Okay, okay, okay" and then 15 minutes later, I'll yell, "We have to leave in 30 minutes!" and he says, "okay, okay, okay," Then 6 minutes before we have to leave I lose my mind and hubs gets scared and is able to get ready in the last 5 minutes. DRIVES ME NUTS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66841 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:07:42 +0000 Penny Lane 66841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting dressed for him is probably less than 5 min. But he spends 30 - 45 minutes in the shower every morning. And he refuses to get in the shower more than 30 min before we need to leave, so we're often 15 or so minutes late to wherever we're going. Drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66837 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:02:03 +0000 Rescuemom10 66837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showering and everything prob about 15-20 mins. He is pretty quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66828 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:46:28 +0000 winniebee 66828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 minutes! He is quick. He can't fathom how it takes me an hour to get out the door in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66823 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:39:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 66823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my husband gets in the shower right when I get out, he will still beat me and be dressed and ready before I am. And all I do postshower is lotion, scrunch and blowdry my hair (like, maybe 5 minutes, tops!), put on makeup and get dressed. I don’t know how he does it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66816 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:31:03 +0000 Modern Daisy 66816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH takes about the same amount of time as I do, 30-40 minutes. It's hard to quantify though since we make coffee and watch the news together, then I go put on makeup/blowdry while he makes our lunch and surfs the internet. I think it takes him a while to do his hair, it sticks straight out so it's difficult for him to style. </p> <p>If he has a wardrobe crisis though (meaning he doesn't like any of his clothing options) it can take over an hour. I have to talk him off the ledge and convince him he looks great in whatever just so we can leave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66810 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:24:46 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 66810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Including a shower 15 minutes. If he has to shave then 25 minutes. He is pretty quickl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66672 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:08:47 +0000 Boogs 66672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he's being quick, 15 minutes to shower, brush his teeth, and get dressed. When he takes his sweet time showering it could be as much as 45 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66662 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:02:40 +0000 googly-eyes 66662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 30 minutes if he wakes up on time and isn't in a complete rush! Could be as quick as maybe 10-15 minutes. He has to bring a lot of stuff to and from work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66647 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:46:09 +0000 MrsBrewer 66647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if I had him timed he would get ready in like 5 minutes. He is FAST! I swear he turns on the shower rinses off and is done....but I know that's not the case because it seems like he goes through more shampoo and soap than I do!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66646 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:44:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 66646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Haha! I used to get so mad, but now I'm so used to it that I just stand there quietly. Come to think of it, now RJ and I just sit in the car and wait. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66644 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:42:30 +0000 prettylizy 66644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH takes longer showers than me (we usually shower at the same time, but his is ALWAYS still running when I get out) and I have hair to wash and he's bald! But post shower, he usually beats me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66640 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:37:53 +0000 Andrea 66640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: that is the same scene at my house with the zipping back and forth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66636 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:36:09 +0000 sulli301 66636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH takes SUCH LONG SHOWERS! I always laugh because I feel like I have more area to cover when it comes to shaving, longer steps with my hair, etc! After showering he is pretty quick but he does love to dress up almost always, which kicks my butt in gear to always wear clothes that match the formality of his even when I want to wear a zip up :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-your-so-to-get-ready#post-66634 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:35:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 66634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Takes Rob Sr. about 15 minutes to get ready in the morning.</p> <p>The trips back into the house for the forgotten wallet, keys, etc. take probably another 20 mins ;) I take longer to get ready, but I'm ALWAYS standing at the door with my coat and shoes on waiting for him to zip back and forth between different areas of the house and the doorway! </p>
