********* Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Depends what's going on that day. If I'm planning on doing any grody or heavy-duty cleaning, I wait till after to shower. Other than that, pretty much whenever I get around to it before needing to leave the house. Dh doesn't have the same schedule every day, and what I do kinda revolves around getting him off to work. So I'm flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I started taking my shower at night when firstborn dd was about 18mo. Mr. Ellie is home in the evening; he takes care of the dc while I'm in the shower. I can get up and get dressed first thing in the morning, before I leave my bedroom for the day. Oh, and I wash my hair in the morning in the kitchen sink. Yes, my grandmother would be horrified, but I've been doing this for 37 years and no one has died yet. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually don't shower in the morning of the day I have an evening dance class, because I get pretty sweaty. I shower after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joani Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 In the morning, before anyone else is awake. It's a habit from when I had to drive kids to school at 8am, and it works better with everyone else's schedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Mostly morning but I really don't have a set time. If I am going to do a lot of yard work or a deep clean I will shower later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsbaby Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Usually at night. Mostly because my hair is super thick and takes forever to dry. I hate blow drying it (takes a good 45 mins), so I shower at night and let it dry overnight. It's still damp, but much less work to blow dry!

kbpaulie Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I need my morning shower to wake up - not coffee, tea or pop - just a good shower. Now, my kids are 6 & 9 - when they were babes it was just luck if I'd get a shwoer, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Year Round Mom Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Taking a shower at night after the day's chaos is how I relax. I love getting into bed clean, especially when my sheets are clean too! When I work out during the day, I stay gross until my nighttime shower, unless we have an afternoon/evening event. In that case, I shower before the event. There is an advantage to feeling icky all day, by the way: I take fewer breaks on the couch. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I voted afternoon because 4 days a week that's when I shower. The rest of the week is mornings. I don't bother showering first thing if I have a house to clean that day. There's no point. Sometimes I take 2 showers a day, especially this time of year. It's supposed to be 110 by Sunday. Joy. I keep telling myself, "At least we don't have bugs. At least we don't have bugs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momtoamiracle Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 every night of my life, without fail. I can't imagine going to bed without taking a bath/shower. Goodness, I"m so sweaty, stinky, and sticky by the end of the day a good bath is what I need to feel human again, winter or summer. If I'm going somewhere I also take a bath in the morning. I like to feel fresh before I leave the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaT Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I take a bath before I go to bed without fail. Even if we come in late from an event, a trip, anywhere, I have to take a bath before bed, or I don't sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama2Many4 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'd really love to shower every morning like clockwork. But I'm a night-owl and have to drag myself out of bed in the morning. I end up taking showers at all different times of day. Sometimes morning, afternoon, but mostly at night. Most kids are in bed, I don't have to hear fighting while I'm trying to relax, and I can dye my hair or other things that need to be done as well. Try shaving your legs while two kids are bickering outside the bathroom door. Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova147 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Night. When the children are in bed and won't bother me. :D I shower in the morning if we are going somewhere and I want to do my hair earlier. Otherwise, I wet it in the sink after breakfast, put in some gel and pin it up. By lunch, it looks good! Good thing I homeschool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelsior! Academy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Definitely night. Baths relax me, but I need quiet. There isn't any way that is happening in the morning. I want to shower in the morning, but the children have a way of waking before me. If I so much as breathe differently in the morning someone else is awake and you can bet it is the child that needs the most supervision.

sbgrace Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've always preferred showers right before bed. I like to go to bed clean and it relaxes me too. However my son has severe asthma related to allergies. So now for much of the year we shower when we come inside to get pollen off of us so it's not in his inside breathing space as much. So now my shower times vary. If I've not been outside on a particular day I just shower before bed like I used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 My heart wants to say "anytime I feel like it," and my kids are big enough that I can get away with it, but I usually shower in the evening. I have dance classes every weeknight so I HAVE to shower before I can goto bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I am up earlier than everyone, take care of all the animals, make lunch for dh, get dinner going and then have my own queit time on the computer. Once the kids get up it is school time. When I finish school with the youngest, it is my turn to shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I shower 30-60 minutes before I need to leave the house, or mid afternoon if I am going nowhere. If I have nowhere to be and we are cleaning or playing outside, I may boy shower at all or take one before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestof3 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Morning. My hair is completely tangled upon waking, and then I cannot forgo a shower after working out (which I do in the morning). Even if I don't exercise in the morning, a shower wakes me up, and if I were to shower at night, I would have to wait two hours before going to bed for my hair to dry. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melenie Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Normally late morning after we have done some school and the kids are either playing or having a snack. I also shower or bath in the evenings after a bike ride or a walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate blow drying it (takes a good 45 mins), so I shower at night and let it dry overnight. It's still damp, but much less work to blow dry! Does it not bother you to have a wet pillow? I would prefer showering right before bed, but I have super-thick hair too, and I don't like sleeping on a wet pillow all night. Plus, my hair is curly, and it will be sticking straight up in the morning if I sleep on it wet. Morning. My hair is completely tangled upon waking, and then I cannot forgo a shower after working out (which I do in the morning). Even if I don't exercise in the morning, a shower wakes me up, and if I were to shower at night, I would have to wait two hours before going to bed for my hair to dry. :tongue_smilie: Yes, this is my problem too. I usually end up showering right before I go somewhere, so my hair is always wet when I go out. :tongue_smilie: I grew up in the desert, and my hair only took an hour to dry. When I go out to visit my dad in AZ, I'm amazed at how quickly my hair dries and how much nicer (less frizzy) it looks. Here in FL, I usually pull my hair back into a ponytail while it's still wet, and it's not uncommon for me to go to bed with some of my hair still damp from my morning shower.
