Do you shower before your husband gets home?

I don't have time to shower unless my husband is home to watch our son, so I wait. My husband would get an earful from me if he said something like that. I work hard all day and don't have time to worry about looking nice for him. I get dressed and don't wear makeup anyway, so it's not like I have just let myself go. Men seem to think we do nothing all day. They don't realize how hard it is to be a SAHM. There is not a lot of extra time in the day to be concerned with how we look. He is tired and sweaty at the end of a day at work. He doesn't come home from work all spiffy and clean, so why should he expect me to be that way?

I think it is soooo important to try to impress your husband a little. I shower every day and get dressed. I do not always put on makeup but I am only a liner and lip gloss kind of girl anyway. I think if you make an effort so will your husband. I feel bad for the men who have to come home to some greasy wife who complains about how hard her day was. Be thankful you can stay home and show your appreciation by looking nice for your husband!

First my husband would of never said this. Sometimes I shower before he comes home sometimes not. As far as makeup goes no i do not put makeup on everyday. If we are going somewhere when he gets home then yes I will put on some blush and lipgloss or lipstick. Sorry to say this but your husband can not generalize all husbands like that. It may be what he prefers but not all men are like that some do understand that some stay at home moms and wives are busy. I hate sweats so am never caught in them...lol but I do my house work in T-shirt and panties if I know am not having company but a pair of jeans are laying near by just incase someone rings the door bell. I don't wearr pj's to bed sooo am not caught in those either. lol

I think that marriages are based on a lot more then whether or not the wife is in her jammies when he gets home. It is easy for husbands to not understand why it is hard to be a stay at home mom (listen to the song "Mr. Mom"!). I try to look descent at least a few days a week. It makes me feel more productive in general if I am dressed nice and such. But I don't do it for my husband, I do it for me. Being a stay at home mom isn't easy (just look at the living room at the end of the day!), but adding pressures such as "men loose interest in their stay at home wives because they are still in their pj's" is a horrible thing to add to it.

I am the husband. I would say that there are days that my wife looks nice when I come home and days when she has not showered or anything. I am not going to lose interest in her over that. If she is not going out anywhere I don't see why she should have to do a lot of primping. As long as she doesn't smell.

First off.... WOW i cant believe your hubby told you that after you had your baby... Mine would have been on his knees... anyways i only have a little expeirence on this subjust since i only stayed at home for a couple months... mine was more concerned about the house work than how i looked when he got home... So i didnt go out of my way to look nice for him... he should just be glad that i took care of his child and the house isnt terrible.. and i have dinner ready... but im pretty low maintence when it comes to looks anyways... dont do makeup etc... and he knew that when we got married....

After I get all of my cleaning and chores done around the house, I try to jump in the shower before he gets home. I do my hair up a little, but I usually don't put on makeup. My fiance doesn't really like makeup, or so he says. And he gets off at 6pm, and gets home about 6:30 or 7 pm. So i really hate to put makeup on just to take it off again in an hour or two. I do get real dolled up though on special occasions though, or if I feel that i've been to blah lately.

Of course!!! Thát´s very important to look your best, but not just for your husband but for yourself! Think about it, when you spend all day unshowered, in pjs, no makeup, you look in the mirror and anybody would feel depressed that way.But if you look your best and look at yourself, it´s a great pickmeupper! And yes I agree it´s a good way to keep your husband interested!!
