I can't remember what led to this conversation, but I guess it's because most of my friends are through potty training their first LO's... but anyway, a friend of mine was saying that one night she had her LO in the tub with her, and he peed in it. She then proceeded to say how it was her DH's fault that he did that, because her DH had taught her LO to pee in the shower. Obvious question: Why would he teach him that??? Her answer: Because men pee when they are in the shower because they don't want to get out to go to the bathroom.
Um..... Whaaaat? I asked DH and he says no, but if he did he also probably wouldn't admit to it. I thought she was bananas, but some of the other ladies that were there that night also said the same thing!
If DH does it I don't want to know, because he'll get a serious side eye from me. I get that getting out of the shower to pee is annoying because you get all cold, and the toilet gets all wet and stuff... but seriously? Gross.
Re: Men pee in the shower?
I sometimes pee in the shower...
Yeah, it seems pretty common... Just not my thing I guess.
Yeah... Dh totally pees in the shower, and I do too. I brush my teeth in there as well.

All this. Although I won't be encouraging my kids to do it, especially not while taking a bath.
Usually I'll do it relatively early in the shower, so all my shampoo, body wash and face wash has a chance to "wash" over the tub with all the hot water. I don't scrub and sterilize the bathtub after every shower, but that's not to say that I don't do a deep clean once a week, which I would do whether or not I peed in the shower.

Yeah, me too...
Seriously? That's so weird! I have bad acne around when I get my period and used to say I would try anything to fix it, but I don't think I could go that far!
Me too!
I always pee in the shower

lol, I guess I'm the only one that doesn't. I get that urine is sterile and all that jazz, but I like my pee in the toilet.
I pee in the shower.Every.single.time.
same here. it is just another drain. not in the tub though, i don't want to bathe in pee!
I did this when I was really pregnant and couldn't hold it, but not before or since. I had no idea it was so common.
