What time of day do you take a shower?

[TKDmom]

Just curious, what time of day do you generally take a shower (or bath)?

[QueenCat]

Morning, after I get back from working out.

[Jean in Newcastle]

Mid morning while kids are doing independent work.

[*********]

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.

[Ellie]

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:

[Blueridge]

Morning, after exercise and before school...and evening before bedtime. :)

[Tap]

Most of the time....morning.

:iagree: Similar. Usually in the morning, but not necessarily every day. Sometimes in the evening. 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.

[Joani]

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.

[Denisemomof4]

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.

[mlbuchina]

I get it in whenever I get a chance. :D

[melmichigan]

Whenever I can carve out a few minutes.

[hsbaby]

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!

[joannqn]

Morning. It's the only way I can fully wake up.

[kbpaulie]

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.

[Year Round Mom]

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:

[Desert Rat]

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."

[Kelly1730]

Same here.

[momtoamiracle]

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.

[freeindeed]

I take my showers at night after I work out.

[Tohru]

Morning. It's the only way I can fully wake up.

 

:iagree: I'm a huge grouch until I've had my shower.

[MamaT]

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.

[Mama2Many4]

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.

[nova147]

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.

[Mimm]

Night. I go to bed nice and clean. :)

[Mélie]

Sometime in the morning when the boys are really focused on lego or a good book. :)

[Excelsior! Academy]

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.

[fraidycat]

It is very random and depends on the day.

[sbgrace]

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.

[KungFuPanda]

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.

[Lizzie in Ma]

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.

[chepyl]

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.

[AngieW in Texas]

Whenever I have enough time free to do it and somebody else hasn't just gotten out or is just getting in. There are 5 of us.

[dirty ethel rackham]

My morning shower is like coffee. I don't feel ready to face the day without it.

[kewb]

First thing in the morning. I send dh off to work, exercise, and then jump in the shower before the kids are awake.

[Nestof3]

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:

[Melenie]

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.

[Parrothead]

99.9 % of the time in the morning. I need it to finish waking up.

[TKDmom]

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!

 

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.

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.
