In the summer with more dirty outside play, they get them, if needed, in the evening. In the winter they get them in the morning so they can calm their hair down.

lol! We didn't do baths every day either, but it did help with the routine.

Of course, they become teens and you can't get them out of the shower....

Oh, you have no idea how much better I feel than all of you right now! My children have a bath at 6.01pm every night, they are still sleeping on their backs (duct tape works well for this), and I never had to use an inhumane leash as they are both perfectly behaved...always.

Actually my son is going through that phase where he will spend hours in the shower, but I'm not sure if soap is actually involved. He also spends hours doing his hair. He wants Bieber hair, but when it's long it's just a big curly fro.

LOL!

Yes...DS wants long hair too... or as the kids say "flow" ...as in "Jake has some sweet flow..." Unfortunately for DS, he doesn't have the right kind of hair for "flow"...he got his mom's coarse and wavy hair...if he lets it grow it just gets "big". He tries every now and then. Eventually it just gets too hot for him and he cuts it off.

Okay - you had me really giggling! I remember those days - when they can be in the shower until the hot water runs out but their hair is still greasy....

DS7 just started taking showers himself in the last year. He will spend a half hour in there and come out with dry hair.
