My oldest son I normally let him watch cartoons if he is at home and my baby I put him in a swing or bouncy seat and put him in the room with me. I have to do this because if i didnt i would never shower. I have no help and my husband is always working. Do you think it is okay to leave kids alone for 5 minutes while you take a shower or not? What do you do with your kids?

Oh, I remember those days of having the baby in the bathroom with me when I took my shower. I would always feel safer having my little one in the room with me while I showered. I think that it is fine to leave a 3 or 5 yr old in front of the tv when you shower. I use to have my kids watch tv in my bedroom and I would shower in the bathroom attached.
Now my youngest is 8, so I can take a shower and don't have to worry about her. I am usually in the shower early in the morning and my kids are all still asleep anyways.

I only take a shower when there is somebody watching over my children. But since my children go to school in the morning, I have plenty of time to take a shower or take a bath nowadays. Just make me happy since I don't have to wait anymore for my husband to watch my kids when I want to take a shower.

My two year old watches TV and my one year old naps. But when my one year old is awake and i badly want to take a shower, i would take him with me, let him sit on the other side of the bathroom and play. 5 minutes is fine if you leave a two year old in front of the TV but never leave a one year old alone unless he is sleeping.

I always leave my baby alone when im having a shower if my husband wasn't around. I just put my baby on his playpen inside the room to make him safe and i open the door so i can peep on him of what he is doing coz our bathroom is just infront of our bedroom so i can see him and monitor him while on the bath. Happy posting.
