Yeah, I want to know how you take a shower, I’ve never ever had one before. Ok, that’s not true, but since I’ve had children I find taking a shower next to impossible. Now that I have a dog, it is absolutely impossible. Evenflo sent me some statistics today on moms and taking a shower.
According to a recent Savvy Parents Survey from Evenflo, 43% of parents of young parents say they have to wait until their spouse or other caregiver is around to shower and 6% of moms report never seeming to be able to find time to shower!
How is it that only 6% of moms report never seeming to be able to find time for a shower. I can’t ever find time, unless I take it at night right before I go to bed. But then I lose time with my husband, but I guess a little personal hygiene is worth it right?

So even though there is time to take a shower, it’s the fact that I don’t trust Miles and the dog inside the house alone. The dog will not let me take a shower and she can’t go in our 4 feet by 4 feet back yard. If I do try to take a shower she wines or goes potty in the bathroom floor. I’m sick and tired of cleaning up puppy poo and pee. So I just don’t take a shower during the day. How do you find time to take a shower?
I was not compensated for this post but I am an Evenflo Brand Ambassador and the information they sent me just seemed low and I wanted your opinion? What do you think?
I have two boys ages 5 and 3 in January. What I do is put in a movie and serve them a snack while I get inthe shower. They are usually good and know where to find me if they need anything. I’m usually quick tho.
I utilize naptime, or will bring my 2-year-old into the shower with me while the big boys are at school. Or I’ll let the boys watch some tv while I shower… but I never do that when just the 2-year-old is home. Or I’ll wait until my husband comes home and shower after dinner. Between these strategies, I usually manage to take care of myself about 5 days a week.
I usually take my shower once my husband gets home from work, unless my youngest is napping.
There are times that I definitely have not known what the shower is and had to settle for some freshening up when I could. Now, I either wake up early or take it at night when the kids are in bed, otherwise there really aren’t any other options.
I take my shower verryyyyy fast ! Otherwise I have 2 little one playing at my feet in there with me !
my daughter decided she likes showers and not bathes, so I just mutlitask it, her me and the baby bump get cleaned togather
I get up a half hour before I have to wake the kids up for school to get a cup a coffee and hop in the shower. It’s a little easier now that they are all in school but I remember the days when I had to wait until all of the kids were in bead to get one.
When my kids were little like that I never had time. I was up at midnight taking a shower! And them up at 6 to get ready for work. Six kids, five of which were in the house at one time ranging from infant to 17 at that time and a dog too. My showers were about 3 minutes long and rarely got more than a few swipes with a razor on my legs. LOL! Now, i have plenty of time,…unfortunately cant work and all kids are in school. But I do remember those days.!
