    I only shave my legs like every other week, no shame. But my hair doesn't grow super fast and is usually pretty light. Although, it is growing faster now.

    Same here, showers every other day and my hair is pretty dry so it only gets washed ever 3-4 days depending on if I straightened it or not. DH showers daily, sometimes twice a day depending on work outs.

    I might actually be the minority on this one but I shower every day and wash my hair every day too. DH and DD do as well as its just part of our routine but I don't know many other parents that give their kids a bath every night.

    We're also an everyday shower family.  DH and I twice a day if we work out.  On my work at home days sometimes I won't shower until lunch time and I just feel so greasy and gross.

    I used to wash hair daily, then I got lazy. It actually turned out alright as it’s less greasy now that it’s only washed 2-3x per week. Score! 

    Does it count for this thread that I’m pretty sure I’m tapping out on finding childcare and making DH do it? Granted, I know I’m late to the game for this search, but I finally did a quick google search for childcare in my area. Top results~2k per month. What the what?!

    Going from showering every day to not has a greasy gross transition period.  Showering dries you out, so your body produces more oil to make up for it and when you skip a day, your body expects the shower and needing more oil, so it still produces.  I was disgusting when I stopped showering daily, but things evened out after a while and I stopped getting so greasy on the second day.  Now my hair usually looks better on the days I don’t shower (although if I happen to skip a third 3rd day it starts getting gross).

    My hair is so thick and so long...I simply cant handle washing it every day! Its more about how long it takes me to blowdry and straighten. Ain't nobody got time for that. I've slowly trained my hair to go 3 days without washing. I shower my body every day though, it helps to wake me up in the morning. 

    I also haven't shaved my legs in like a month...maybe even longer. Now that it's nice weather out though, it has to happen!

    I HAVE to shower every day. I was even like this right after DS was born. It kept me feeling human. I only wash my hair every other day, though.

    @halfanewt, lol I did the same thing! I gave H a deadline to give me his top five list because I was sick of looking on my own. We're touring a place on the 14th and it's one that he found - it's also easily my favorite so far, so, that worked out, haha! I had no idea that it was even there and it didn't come up in any of my searches. I have no clue how he found it. 2 heads are better than one, that was my justification for my laziness ;)

    I'll have to think of a confession of my own...

    I used to be a daily showered. Then child. Now it’s like every other, sometimes three days. Usually because there’s some reason I need to leave the house. 

    I don’t usually shave my legs at all during the winter. Even in summer, I’ll go at least a week between. My hair is thing and super light. But mostly I just don’t care.

    I shower most days, and always use conditioner, but only shampoo about every 2 weeks. Curly hair and shampoo just makes for a dry frizzy mess.

    I usually take baths, and never every day. My hair is way nicer on day 2 so I usually shower/bathe every 3 days unless it’s summer and I’m sweaty and icky.

    also, @mytrueloves SPILL

    My italian-ness cannot handle a nondaily leg shave. I shaved my legs last night and they're already prickly. Which is why first trimester was a very hairy time for me lolol

    I shower every work day for sure, but usually only wash my hair on Sundays and Wednesdays unless there's something special going on. On weekends I might shower both days, or just one. It depends on what's going on and how I feel.

    TIL that people don't wash their hair very often.

    My hair is super greasy if I don't shower at least every day and a half. I tried to go longer to train my hair or whatever people call it but my hair gets so greasy (even when pulled back) that it irritates my eyes and I get major stabby and get to the point I want to grab a scissors and just hack it off right then and there so the grease can't bug me. sooo I go the max of a day and a half without washing it.

    @mytrueloves I'm definitely not a child, but I'm super sensitive to excessive carbs/sugar. I get anxiety and a little depressed when I eat too much. I'd just get in these random funks where nothing sounds fun and you just feel very meh and out of it and DH knows about it all and is supportive and reminds me to eat more fat. :p I normally follow a higher fat Paleo ish diet and that personally helps my moods. It's crazy how much sugar can affect your mood and behavior!!

    The insight, and advice, and ideas that come from a group are just awesome! Sending weird internet hugs to all! 
    And if anyone has a question, ask away! As I said, we didn't grow up this way, and I don't mind questions at all. I know it's just a bit different, ya know? And it can just weird people out. I've been asked some really, really strange questions so don't worry about that! Someone asked me if the married ladies wore underwear... I can confirm that we do...  :#
    @mytrueloves how did you figure out your DD was so sensitive to sugar? I get appalled at times how much sugar we consume in drinks and snacks, etc. daily. I worry about it, cuz it can't be good for a body really.
    I can't stand anything with any artificial sweetener in it... It tastes awful to me, like gag inducing. I blame that on my mom, apparently she's that way.

    @coffee-saur that's so cool! In my area there's a really popular shake stand that opens every year from November to April run by a German Baptist family that used to come south from Pennsylvania (I believe they live here now).They lived similar to how you do, but without driving cars so we always knew the Knausberry farm family was in town when they'd take their carriage around the neighborhood. So cool that you're in the group!!

    Also @mytrueloves how did you figure out she was addicted? And when did you start weaning her?

    @princessandthegator DF mentioned that he was concerned about how many times she'd ask for sweets a day. Then I started watching her and realized she was constantly asking for candy. And that she'd reject food but would then beg for sweets of some kind. We figured it was a problem, but didn't realize it was THIS big of a problem. We started weaning her about a week ago. We haven't cut out all sugars, just candy and sweets and things with lots of added sugar, like kids' yogurt.
