What do your kids do when you have a shower?

[clazzat]

When the girls were little I used to put them in their cots with a bunch of toys - took a couple of times for them to get used to it, but then they were perfectly happy to play for half an hour while I got showered and dressed. When they were out of their cots I put them in their rooms with the door shut and took the monitor with me while I showered. Then when they were old enough I let them watch tv.

Now I shower before they get up otherwise I don't have time,but x is always awake early so I put him in the travel cot in my room while I shower and get dressed.

I showered every day from birth with both boys, when DS1 was little I'd put him in the bouncy seat so he could see me, as he got older I either showered when he napped, before DH went to work or with him. By the time DS2 was born he would happily watch a Spot episode on TV, which then became Wiggles & Thomas, & DS2 would watch with him. When DS2 was 1yo I was even able to let them go on the deck (gated off & safe) while I showered with only one miss hap. DS2 got sort of stuck in the little car we had, had to jump out & go out on the deck with a towel rapped around me. I've always been quick  at having a shower ( 3min showers a legacy of small water tank as grew up) & so would always be done in around 5mins & they just got used to it.

I used to be able to get a quick shower before ayden got up or when he had his nap but now he doesn't sleep during ge day or sleep in anymore so I take him in with me. The only thing is dh is doing 12 hrs (4:30 pm to 4:am) we tend to wake him up!

DS is 4 so he will just watch tv while I shower and he comes and goes to say hi to me and ask questions but he hates the shower so he wouldn't ever want to get in with me. Now DS is at preschool and after I have the baby, I'll prob put him in his bouncer and pop it in the bathroom with me while I shower quickly.

Yeah it'll be nice when they are old enough to just sit in the living room and watch TV or play but no way I could trust them anywhere out of their bedroom right now.
Kelly I used to put each boy in the bouncer while I showered if they were awake.
DH already gets up at 5.30am and it normally wakes Colby so there is no way I would want any of us up any earlier. I normally have to spend a good while getting Colby back down anyway.
Today I was mid-shower and the boys were gated in their room building bricks and Cadan called for a pee so I had to get out and let him out the gate to use the toilet. I considered putting a potty in there so he can just go himself but then goodness knows where the pee would end up if Colby got hold of it

My DS screamed blue murder when I put him in a bouncy chair, he never did get to like it.  For a long time I could lay him on an activity mat, one that had a arc of hanging toys over the top.  He was happy there for a full half hour!  I could wash my hair, put make up on, get dressed...brilliant!

Oh and the door bouncer was a good one too.

TV for us here too! But DS is 4.5. He was scared of our shower for quite a long time so if he comes upstairs and wants to come in with me, I always encourage it.

I do tend to shower in the evenings also.
