I am the Busy of 6-12
Well, I could never hope to be Busy, but it's all relative.
There has been an ongoing debate over (wait for it) whether moms shower every day, whether those who do and let their babies cry are monsters, whether those who don't are stinky martyrs, etc. Multiple posts, ad nauseum. So I posted a dead horse, and now I am the Busy of 6-12.
Good thing I don't have her amazing collection of festering sores.

LOL
FTR, the baby won't die in 15 minutes. I say shower. But I don't have kids, and therefore make such judgments based off little information.

Talk about a dumb fight.
Yes, there are days I don't shower...because I'm lazy. There was that occassional day before the kid. I have left him to cry more than once though.
I've heard Mom's say that. (I didn't take a shower today. Or until H came home at 6)
I don't get it. If the child is fed, diapered, etc, isn't it ok to put them in a swing or playpen or something? There are certain safety precautions you can take. You don't have to shave your legs and pamper. Basic shower under 10 minutes?
Then again, I don't have a kid.
My niece did live with us while her Mom ran the streets and acted a fool. She also had cholic. (Spelling?) She screamed bloody murder 24/7 for 3 months. We showered every day.
I took a shower every day. Still do. The kid napped, or screamed, or played with Dad (which begs the question: Where the F are their husbands? Surely they can shower at night when Dad's around? Or is Dad not allowed to be alone with the kid?), but the kid didn't die, and I had clean hair.
We also have had sex again, and she's not out of the house yet! The horrors! What a bad mother am I! <rending garments, gnashing teeth>
Men don't know what to do with babies, you big silly. Maybe they don't have sex anymore because they're not showered and not because they now have a kid.

Hooka is right. Didn't you know that males eat babies, whether it's their young or not?
::tsk tsk::
Yeah and maybe because it's not cool to have sechs when a child is tethered to you 24/7. Maybe.
Or when you have furry teeth and stanky B.O.
can't they at least manage, I dunno, a sponge bath? Just for reasons of cleanliness?
(I didn't wash my hair last night (yesp, I shower at night) because I felt to sick and didn't think I could stand for that long. But I sat ina lukewarm bath for a few where I 'bathed' and then turned on the shower to rinse me off but didn't have the energy for hair. And I dry shampooed the hair this AM)
I'd feel disgusting if I didn't at least get that--and I would NOT be able to come to work. Are all these people SAHMs?
men = guppies
Bmom is once again expecting women to procreate with men that they'd actually trust with their children. That's just silliness!
Crap...I Mean Crafts
BUT MEN ARE GUPPIES!
