My 9 year old spends foreeeveeer in the shower- singing, dancing, acting out little plays... I don't have the heart to rush her. It's pretty much her only "alone time" when nobody's bugging her about something or other. But she wastes a ton of water.SuperRaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742653185025562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-52941063410135636372008-05-28T17:17:00.000-05:002008-05-28T17:17:00.000-05:00Good idea!

Two things are holding me back: 1. it takes the water 5 minutes just to heat in this old house! 2. we're on a flat rate water system, so my only incentive to take a shorter shower is knowing I'm doing an environmental good deed. That should be enough, but I do love to shave my legs every day!SAHMmy Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312083333399431135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807022363279638349.post-76791494115501718672008-05-28T15:50:00.000-05:002008-05-28T15:50:00.000-05:00Sounds great, but what about your soap?

My kids don't even take baths every day. They HATE to bathe. Bad for me, good for the environment. I think. They are all little and get their hands and faces washed lots of times a day anyway. And with the pool in the summer, they get clean even without a bath.

So, does that make me due for a long one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
