What do you do with your DS/DD while having your shower??

[HappyLittleChappy]

When he was still very little I would sit him in his bouncer in the bathroom. As soon as he could sit up on his own he would come into the shower/bath with me.

My DD is 6 months and i shower with her sitting in her bouncy chair in the doorway of the bathroom where i can see her.
If DH is around he can look after her but if i need a shower and bub is awake that's what i do.
Bub enjoys the sound of the water and is happy.

If I am not going out anywhere in the morning, I just wait until she goes for a nap at lunch time
But if I am going out like I did this morning, I just go have a shower anyway, because the house is kidproof and there is gates stopping her from getting into rooms shes not aloud to etc. so she just watches tv and plays with toys in her bedroom and loungeroom. I can still hear her because I leave the bathroom door open (and she can't get into the kitchen or bathroom). Sometimes I will put her in her highchair too.

i used to pop ds in his rocker in the bathroom with toys whilst i had a shower. When he was a bit older i put him in his ''spaceship'' (a bouncer thing with toys attached)
Now that he is almost 14 months and walking it has changed again. i feed him breakie in the high chair and when he is done, i let him play with the spoon and bowl. he stays there watching elmo and does not even notice i have slipped away to have a shower.

She bashes on the shower door and yells about the fact that I'm in there and she's out here.

Keeps her occupied for the time I'm showering and I know where she is

I take him in with me mostly now...he's just started solids so is very messy...so I give him breaky then we both go in the shower..he plays in the bath underneath while I shower.
Otherwise he plays on the bathroom floor....hes just started to crawl and is into EVERYTHING so I like to be able to see him
For the loo...I now either give him a noisy toy he likes and pee quick, dump him in his cot with toys, put him in the jolly jumper or occassinally take him with me..amazing how he can unravel the loo paper now much quicker then I can pee

If I waited for him to be asleep I'd be dirty and incontinent a lot of days

I usually shower before DH does to work in the mornings. I need to be up and showered before 6am which isn't always easy, but I much prefer it that way. Atleast I then know that even if I don't get anything else achieved all day, that atleast I had a shower!

Yes this happens to me all of the time too! Even though DH is at home while I shower, the kids still love to be close to me! 5 minutes is all I ask!

Until DS was around 15-17 months I would put him in his pram and wheel that into the bathroom and give him toys/objects to play with. Now he just plays in the lounge or comes in and stands at the shower door until I finish.

When DD was small she would be in her bouncenette in the bathroomk with me, or in her swing in the lounge if she had fallen asleep.

Now she is crawling and climbing everything I have to try and shower when she is asleep (which never works because she wakes the second the water starts running and cries until I come get her!) or she sits on the floor in the bathroom and destroys everything while I shower as fast as possible!

This morning she pulled all the tissues out of the box, threw a roll of toilet paper in the toilet (I forgot to close it! ), eat some of the tissues, destroyed a magazine, pulled all the towels off the railchewed on the bath mat and banged on the shower door until I opened it so she could see me! The price I pay for wanting to wash my hair!
