How often do your kids shower?

Just wondering after a conversation with my eldest, I used to have a bath twice a week (born in early 80s) and my two 9&10 shower or bath every other day, sometimes go an extra day if we've got a lot on but certainly more regular than I did. How often do yours get clean?

We dobt have a shower sp it's a bath. 2 or 3 times a week. One DC swims twice a week and showers then, the other swims once and showers then. Probably more in the summer.

Every day bath or shower since birth. They all have great skin with no issues so at least for us, daily showering hasn't caused any problems at all. Obviously if skin already has issues or is sensitive then that would be different. But I don't think daily showers cause a problem for DCs whose skin is not sensitive, quite the opposite. There's been no spots or stinky feet or toenail infections here and I think it's because they have really good hygiene.

Sons 17 and 21 .

At least once a day, sometimes twice as they both work out, trouble is they are also constantly changing their clothes which results in a lot of laundry, they do their own washing but my washing machine is always on the go.

I used to do mine 2/3 times a week unless the got actually dirty. Since the eldest hit puberty at 10 though she needs a shower most days and hair washed 3x per week. Obviously at 10 she was doing it all herself though.

Surely it's more faff to flannel wash down than just get in a shower for 2mins.

Not when you're disabled it isn't
