I used to take 10-12 minute showers before LO arrived.
Now that she's here I literally shower for 2-5 minutes. -.-
2 when I'm home alone with her.
5 when DH is home.
Today I took a loooong 10 minute shower. Because I'm worth it.

I love my LONG showers. I usually stay in for at least 20 minutes. I know it's a terrible waste of water, but the shower has always been my escape from the world. I hate rushing when I'm in there. I guess all of that will change once baby arrives. Sigh.

long. I usually shower at the gym or after baby is in bed or when DH is home, so I make it a luxury. If shes napping, I can get it done in 5 mins or so

I take unusually long and extremely hot showers. It's my only luxury! It's usually 20 minutes or so. But only if someone can help me watch LM.

10-12 minutes would be a super speedy shower for me. I always shower for at least 20 minutes. It is the only me time I ever get so I take my time.

I used to be a morning showerer but since LO came I only shower at night when the hubs is home to watch her or when she's in bed. I think of my showers as my daily escape so I spend a good 20 minutes in there and make the water super duper hot.

About 10-15 minutes. I have long hair and have to shave my pits every time! If I am taking a "me" shower, its about 25 minutes, then I get to shave my legs and relax a little. Most of the time though, DS is in the shower with me.

If DH is home to watch LO .. I shower till the hot water is gone. But I usually shower when DH is at work so a quick 3-5 minute shower when LO is napping.

I would say 10 minutes, 15 most. I love to just stand in the shower and relax, but I'm usually in a rush to get to work!

Usually very short. But if I have a migraine I allow myself a longer shower. Love the warm water on my neck!

7 minutes. Wash hair, condition hair, wash body, shave something if necessary, heat water to scalding - scald self, exit.

7-10 minutes sounds about right. shampoo, conditioner, wash body, wash face. i don't shave so i save some time there!

5-10 minutes. I take super fast showers in general. My husband takes forever and lingers in the bathroom.

My general showers are about ten minutes. I can't really get clean and wash my hair in less time so that won't be changing though I'm sure instead of every day it'll go to every second.

About 20 minutes and super hot water. It helps me to wake up since I'm not a morning person.

When my LO was a baby, it was quick. Then I realized I could just put her in the car carrier and she would sit there content. Now that's she 5...I hide in the bathroom. Bathroom time is sacred around here. I will take a 20 minute shower with the door locked.
I have a photo on my FB with her fingers under the door because she wanted in. Mama was like no way baby bear! GO AWAY! lol

Usually 20 minutes. I like hit hot and I like to take my sweet time standing under the water.

Long is about 15 minutes, unless I'm prepping for a date night!
Most mornings my showers are about ten minutes. Hopefully I can still have decent length showers when baby comes.

7 - 10 mins... I like my water REALLY hot, so can't stay in there longer than that, haha

I wait for the baby to go to sleep at night and then I take a long, hot shower. I usually stay in for 20-30 minutes and relax. I can be in and out in 10 if i need to.

I get in the tub with Charlie in the evenings... we take a lukewarm bath together.

Maybe 7-10 minutes depending on whether or not I shave in there, too. Lol. I don't like to take long showers as I feel like I could be doing something else.

i take about 20 minutes. especially when i'm cold and i want to take a nice hot shower and don't feel like leaving.

As little as possible, since we don't have running water all day or heat.

I used to take 10 min showers but lately they're about 5 minutes. Instead of putting LO in a bathtub (she refuses to sit still), it's easier to take her in the shower with me so I'll take my quick 5 minute shower and then my husband will hand me LO and I'll wash her down in about 5 minutes as well and then we both come out.

I go days without showering (gross, I know) because I get so busy and usually forget. When I do get a chance to shower, I make sure my husband is home to watch the LO. My showers usually last 15-20 minutes, and I enjoy every minute of it. I would like to take baths more often though.

10 minutes-ish? I'm usually rushing in the morning because I like to sleep in, so it's all business to get in, out and ready for work

I try to shower when DH is home so I can get my nice LONG showers in!! If he isn't home they are about 5-10 but if he is home they are longer, 15-20. I have never been much of a shower singer, I sing to my dashboard, but I am a shower thinker!! I would rather wake up 20 minutes earlier to have a relaxing, shower that isn't so rushed so I can enjoy it, but with a baby that isn't always possible!
