Today’s Guest Confession is by Pamela, a stay at home mommy to a free-spirited two and a half year old little girl. She’s been married for almost four years without strangling her Husband. She likes to spend her free time by baking and writing.
I don’t bathe my daughter every day. I bathe her like 3 to four times a week. Because really? She doesn’t sweat much and she’s only two. But if she rolled around in the mud, poured yo baby yogurt all over her hair and its all a matted mess, then that’s a different story.
Sometimes, you just need a wipe to clean her hands because she just squished that spider with her cute little finger. Now, before you go saying that I have a stinky two year old, come and smell her. She smells way cleaner than you. She smells of peaches and chocolates because that’s what I bathe her in.
I don’t iron her clothes either. And honestly if she’s not going to meet the Queen of England or the President of the United States then why iron her clothes? She does look presentable and super cute, might I add but why should I iron her clothes if she’s going to be running, dancing, jumping, taking off her clothes and putting on new non-matching clothes? It’s just a waste of electricity if I chose to iron every item in her closet. I do, however run the iron on her dresses, before she wears them, if we are going to a special occasion like Christmas. I have a lot of photographers in my family that might take photographic proof that there is a wrinkle in her cute little dress or God forbid, her bloomers.
You can close your mouths now. I’m done. ‘Till next time!

I was just contemplating recently how often you should bathe your children (and yourself for that matter haha). I don’t think it’s gross because that’s actually what pediatrician’s recommend, but I’m somewhat of a clean freak and don’t know if I could go a couple of days without washing ‘em hehe.
Iron? What’s that? To be honest, we get baths almost daily out of pure boredom. When we’ve run out of stuff to do today, we hit the tub. So in our house being ubber clean is a sign of mom’s lack of energy and creativeness. This winter it was bathtime at 3:00pm so we could have an early dinner and bedtime. It was really sad, but worked for us. Thanks for sharing Pamela!
I tried leaving a comment earlier, sorry. I was just recently asking my readers their personal hygiene routines for their kids because I’m having a hard time making up my mind lol, but I’m definitely a clean freak so I don’t go more than a couple days without washing them. However I definitely do not iron. My husband can attest to that. He takes his work clothes to the dry cleaners for that reason ^_^.
Found your entry. Sorry. I tookt he night off from moderating. We had my daughter’s 6th birthday party. Lots of chaos. I thought spaghetti would be the perfect meal that kids love and is cheap to make for several families….it is, but I neglected the noodle clean up factor. My house looks like we partied like rock stars!
I don’t iron either. Yuck! If my DH BEGS me, I will. Nothing else. Nope!
I don’t bathe my girl (or myself) every day either. She’s 4, but it’s impossible to make the time to dump her in the bath with her 7000 toys ‘just for 5 minutes’ to rinse off the day’s sweat. So, I use washcloths, wipes, etc. and I bathe her 3-4 times a week. Last week, when she was sick, I realized I didn’t bathe her for 6 days. OOOOOOPs! such is life. NO one died from a little dirt between their toes, right? RIGHT?!
