If I wanted a shower alone I would awake before the children, but sleep is more important than cleanliness so we just do the family shower if I'm worried about kids getting into trouble. The youngest two come in with me whether they like it or not and everyone else just plays. <br /><br />Shaving cream on the shower door is fabulous for keeping little ones entertained while mommy is washing her hair. On days where we have nowhere to go, I try to find a time when everyone seems to be busy and happy and then I just sneak off to the bathroom. It almost never seems to fail though that someone interrupts my peaceful solitude. <br /><br />Oh, and the kids baths? Once a week definitely with the younger ones getting a quick shower every time they are too messy to clean up with a washcloth...which is quite often around here. It's the older ones that I have to beg to shower in my house. they would much rather be swimming, reading or playing the computer than bathing!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370717057773169008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474631414338437142.post-81609910511988223692009-07-17T22:01:09.194-07:002009-07-17T22:01:09.194-07:00I'm with Mer...7:00 seriously?

Just get up in the morning, lock the door so they don't get out and into things, let them play in their room and get your shower done! Some may consider it abusive to lock your kid in their room...I prefer to look at it as 'sanity'. :o)Chelsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583022030982827215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474631414338437142.post-67159681286886997602009-07-15T21:57:28.088-07:002009-07-15T21:57:28.088-07:00okay what??? 7:00 am? really?? i am in shock that ...okay what??? 7:00 am? really?? i am in shock that anything is even happening at 7:00 in the morning. and bathing your kids daily is out the window in this house. they are lucky if they get bathed twice a week. for sure once i promise.<br />and as for me to shower... well i try to have at least one napping maybe one watching tv and another playing on the computer.... which leaves another wandering around trying to cause a stir i am sure. i just tell them no screaming touching or running around. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.meridethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658926168668227762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474631414338437142.post-34733983002288861382009-07-15T21:22:52.823-07:002009-07-15T21:22:52.823-07:00Shower time for me used to be Mickey Mouse Club ho...Shower time for me used to be Mickey Mouse Club house time for Sienna. I have started having "Alone playtime" where she plays by herself in her room for 1/2 hour and that seems to work too.

Just remember that a family that bathes together-stays together. Signed Dad.....who remembers, in the shower, being handed a kid with a dirty bottom to clean off. It worked great except when soap was applied which made the kid a little slippery.Jay and Gwen Sessionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887443096370823586noreply@blogger.com
