Parrothead Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Not first thing in the morning, but in the morning. I get up, make a cup of tea and read here while the caffeine starts to course through my veins. After the first cup I make breakfast (this is about 45-60 minutes after waking), eat then shower.

I'm just happy when I can fit in an uninterrupted 20 minutes and indulge in shaving my legs. :tongue_smilie: Yep, Yep!!! :D But really, I usually end up showering before we go out, which is just about every day. If we actually have a day at home, I try to shower before bed, mostly because DH is home and I can have that highly-sought-after uninterrupted shower time!!!

coffeegal Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I prefer first thing in the morning, but the toddlers have a tendency to wake up and cause problems. So I wait until an older child is awake and can watch the babies. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Totally random times. Sometimes it's first thing in the morning, but usually it's later in the day. Today, for example, I'll be showering later on as I have some heavy duty cleaning to do today, so I figure I might as well wait and shower after I'm done with the cleaning. I never get a shower squeezed in early on school days. I'm almost always giving the kids their lunch and then hopping into the shower for a quick one.

creekland Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 As soon as I get up on school mornings. After working in the barn on other days. I voted first thing in the morning since that's more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanabug Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Can I just say how validated I feel that so many of you responded with "random time during the day?" My dh thinks I'm nuts that I don't take a shower immediately upon waking, but sometimes I don't get a shower until 2 or 3 in the afternoon!

cindergretta Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 :lol: March, April, and May must be some pretty stinky months! I was thinking about July and August! :lol: Random time every day, depending on the schedule. And with 8 people needing bathing, first thing in the morning isn't always an option. ;). We shower based on whose plans are when, for priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 See, if I take my shower at night, I can get dressed right away in the morning, regardless of what the dc are doing. I wash my hair in the morning in the kitchen. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 3-4 days a week I clean houses in the afternoons. On those days, I shower when I get home, around 4pm. Other days I shower in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa in the UP of MI Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I voted first thing in the morning. It's actually 4 days a week after breakfast, clean-up, and teeth-brushing. Toddler ds goes in the play pen in the bathroom and the other kids play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I put other. Most of the time it's in the morning, but there are days when I dance that I need two showers and that can throw off the normal schedule. Also, the colder it is, the more I prefer to NOT get wet in the morning because I'm a wimp like that. I tend towards hot, evening baths in the winter. On heavy cleaning days, I shower when I'm finished and hat can be 2-3 in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Random, but I don't shower daily. This is going to sound insane, but I feel like optimally for my hair to look decent and myself to feel comfortable, I shower every 36 hours - so morning on the first day, evening on the second, not on the third, morning on the fourth... and so on. I know, bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 A random time every day or two. It depends how much exercise I have taken and what the weather is like.

freeindeed Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I try to get up & exercise, have quiet time, and then shower before the kids get up, so I voted First thing in the morning...that's on a good day.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 We all bath/shower right before bed. I've gotten to the point that it feels gross to me to get in a bed without showering (nor do I want anyone else getting in my bed without being clean, hehe). I only wash my hair every other day though and use a shower cap on the other days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 In the morning on days where I'm going somewhere before 1-2 p.m., usually. Otherwise, at night or right before I need to go somewhere in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeBeaks Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Morning or evening roughly equally, whichever works out better for scheduling. I prefer morning, but if I can't because of the kids I wait until he is home to watch them in the evening to shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I wash my hair in the morning in the kitchen. :-) I do that too! I just wet my hair in the kitchen sink so I can crunch it up with some gel before I go to work. (I leave for work at 5, work out after, come home and, ideally, shower and nap. Sometimes, it's just straight to napping :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 In the mornings, although not quite "first thing". I get up, workout for an hour, then make the kids their breakfast and shower while they're eating and watching their morning cartoons.

I only wash my hair every other day though and use a shower cap on the other days. :iagree: This is EXACTLY what I do. It feels SO nice getting into bed all clean. And I think it keeps the sheets nice and clean too. (We know folks who let their kids go to bed after a dusty, sweaty sports event without showering -- ewww!) In winter if I'm really tired and haven't exercised all day, and it's not hair-washing day (score!), I go to bed without showering. See, if I take my shower at night, I can get dressed right away in the morning, regardless of what the dc are doing. I wash my hair in the morning in the kitchen. :-) I wet down my hair in the kitchen in the morning if I've gone to bed with wet hair (the one drawback to my system -- my hair can look pretty crazy the next morning!). It looks great when I do this -- better than if I'd let it dry the night before. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melora in NC Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I voted "right before bed," but that is a winter thing. Because I can't bear to shower in our freezing cold bathroom on winter mornings. In the summer I am a morning showerer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myeightkiddies Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Usually at night but not right before bed. I like to shower a couple hours before bed so that my hair can dry. I'm not a fan of the morning because it takes me awhile to wake-up and not be chilled. Often I'm up frequently throughout the night due to pain, so if I didn't shower before bed I will shower then.

Splinter Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 In the mornings, but not first thing.

Sahamamama Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It depends: Do I need a shower? Is it summer or winter? How cold is that shower going to be? :001_huh: Is that a good thing? Are we going anywhere today? Will we mostly be in the house, or are we going out to work in the garden or mow the lawn? Are we going to the park or my parents' house? Are we going to a store? We always shower or bathe after going to the stores. :tongue_smilie: Did hubby already take his usual 30 minute HOT shower? Do the kids also need baths? Did I put in a load or two of laundry? There's only so much hot water in the tank. :toetap05: If I can be and feel and look clean with a "bird bath" (i.e., washing up), then in the winter I might settle for that. After yard work, never. Oh, and even if I've had a shower in the morning or afternoon, I always wash up before bedtime. Use a warm, soapy washcloth on face, neck, feet, and all the "warm places." ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too close to bedtime, because I don't like to go to bed with wet hair. Recently, it seems to be either because we're going somewhere and I want to look ok, or because I cannot remember the last time I managed to get a real shower. :D Prekids I liked to take a bath every 5 days (plus quick showers after I was working out or sweating).

NanceXToo Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Usually 45 minutes to an hour before I'm due to go somewhere. I go somewhere almost every day. And it could be at all different times of day. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the middle of the day, sometimes an evening thing. If I'm not due to go somewhere, but someone is due to be coming to my house, it'll be 45 minutes to an hour before those people are due to come over lol. And on the rare days I have nowhere to go and no-one coming over, it's quite possible I'll just stay in the sweats and teeshirt I slept in and skip it for the day. :P In that case, I'd be more likely to do it first thing the next morning regardless of that day's plans.

TravelingChris Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I put other because it is not daily. I have very dry skin and it is better not to shower too frequently. I therefore confine myself to a version of a sponge bath daily and longer showers/baths once or twice a week depending on activities, weather, and how my hair is.
