Do you take a shower or bath everyday?

I do every other day. Used to be once a week or so because I would be so tired taking care of my son. Now, I just jump in the bath with him. If I didn't do that, I would still be taking baths once a week!

I'm a SAHM with two girls and I manage to get a shower in every day. Sometimes I take one in the morning plus a shower or a bath after they go to sleep - it all depends on how dirty I feel or if my back is bothering me. Basically my children don't overwhelm me even though my husband is in Iraq. They are good kids. If the situation warranted I could go one day without taking a shower but I would feel nasty and sluggish and I'd hop in the shower as soon as possible the next day. Especially as women, I feel like basic hygiene is essential so one doesn't get an infection down there or get too funky in general. I would never ever leave the house without having been in the shower. For you, I think this is more than a hygiene issue. I hope you are able to manage your time better so you can take a few minutes out for you each day. I'm sure your son will be fine for 5-10 minutes if you take a quick shower. Good luck! :)

You make me want to take a bath! I probably would take a bath everyday, but we only have a shower. I guess showers are relaxing too, but I would rather have a tub. It's getting better now that my son is a little older, but for awhile, it was all mom for him. Dad just didn't cut it. He's starting to hang out with dad without crying now. That's nice!

Haha - I'm glad your son is giving you a little breathing space now by bonding with his daddy. That's so cute. :D Best of luck!

I take 2 showers a day, one in the morning before I go to work and one at night before I go to bed.

I used to be like that, but I had a kid. Also, my skin started to dry out. I was just too lazy to put lotion on. Maybe that would have helped.

I normally bath more for relaxation then two wash but usually a couple times a week and about 5 times a week for a shower cause i workout at the gym 5 days out of the week for one cardio workout a day. So that pretty much covers bathing for the week dont it lol.

I take a shower 6 days a week. Sometimes I take shower twice a day depending on the activities of the day. I don't know if I could take a shower every other day. It would be difficult for me to do this, but as long as your cleans and smell good I guess that is all that matters. This is why we take showers in the first place.
