Settle a Debate Between Hubby and Me

[AC7179]

I shower at night.

In the morning, I wake up, brush my teeth, wash my face, and brush and curl, straighten my hair and apply makeup.

Hubby showers in the morning and then goes to work. He does not shower before bed.

He says I'm skanky for not showering in the morning before work.

I say that he has no room to talk, because every night he climbs into bed DIRTY from the day, and that is pretty gross in and of itself.

Which is grosser?

Not showering before work in the morning or not showering before bed at night?

I'd never really though about it before, but he INSISTS that you get dirty while you sleep and should shower in the morning.

I tend to sweat at night, so to me I would be gross if I did not shower in the morning. However, that is not the same for everyone. I would shower at night if I could, it would save a lot of time in the morning.

 

[disneymama73]

I prefer to shower in the morning.

 

[LadyyRedd]

Another vote for showering in the morning. I feel pretty gross if I don't.

I think your right, OP!! I like to take showers in both the morning and night, but I definitely always take one at night! I can't imagine sweating all day and then just getting into bed without showering!!

I shower at night, DH showers in the morning. I tend to think the same way you do but this is the way we've done it for years.

 

[Beth76]

Since when did taking a shower become gross? IMO, I really don't see the difference as long as you're showering.

DH and I go to the gym in the evening!! We both take showers when we get home from the gym!!

In the a.m., DH ALWAYS showers even though he showered in the evening.

I don't always shower in the a.m.! Sometimes I am running late and I freshen up exactly as the OP does in the morning...!!!

After your post, I'm thinking of going to morning AND night!! I used to shower at night, when I was a teenager/early 20's & no kids. After the kids, a shower in the am woke me up from a sleepless night, and I've just continued. Now I feel pretty awful if I don't shower in the morning.

I'd never really though about it before, but he INSISTS that you get dirty while you sleep and should shower in the morning.

HOW?

 

[AC7179]

He brings up the sweat factor.

Of course, he has oily skin and I have dry, so this could account for our shower tastes more than we previously realized.

Thanks for all the opinions!

Yeah, I was wondering how anyone gets dirtier sleeping than going around during the day. I mean, is he saying the sheets need washed more often?

I shower in the afternoon since I work a night shift.I am in a/c all night so I dont sweat at work. I do in the morning driving kids around, working outside , housework ,etc. However I do shower at night if I have to wake up early just so I can sleep later. I think there is no right or wrong it just a matter of your opinion. Whichever way you like best go for it. I would hope to think the sheets get cleaned enough anyway that it doesnt matter if u go to bed clean or dirty.

HOW?

Other than the obvious.....dancin between the sheets???

Except for then, I prefer showering at night as well. I much prefer to wake up w/a cup of hot coffee than taking a shower, particularly in the freezing winter months. It works well for us that I shower in the pm and he in the am because he uses all the hot water anyway, lol.

LOL, I never even thought of that.

 

[JVL1018]

I do both, but I prefer to shower at night, mostly because my hair takes forever to dry and straighten..I prefer to sleep as long as possible in the morning and more importantly, my hair looks MUCH better if I let it dry naturally, straighten it and then sleep on it. My hair is on the dry side, so maybe that's why.

I don't think it's gross to shower in the morning nor at night. Whatever floats your boat.

 

[tiggersmom2]

All I have to say is NOBODY is setting foot (or anything else) in one of my beds without a bath or shower!!!!!

 

[aprilgail2]

I normally shower in the evening and the morning...if i had to do just one then it would have to be morning...it would just be to gross to get dressed and go out in the morning and starting my day without showering, BLECH

 

[AKLRULZ]

Well, you are both neither right or wrong. I have no issue with either way.

I shower twice a day - once in the morning and once in the afternoon after the gym.

 

[Ranatra]

I wouldn't let him climb into bed with me without showering. After spending the whole day at work, he's officially dirty by bedtime!
