DD would bathe two or three times a day if I let her! She usually gets a bath and her hair washed (how that child manages to get everything she eats in her hair is beyond me) every day, but I soap her up every two or three days to keep her skin from drying out. Now that she'll be going to daycare a couple times a week, I'll prolly feel like she needs to be soaped up more often. :giggle

Not sure how often SS bathes at his mom's house, but hygiene (or the lack thereof) is one of her pet peeves, so I imagine it's almost every day. He's required to shower there. He takes a bath (sigh) on school nights when he is with us and once when he is with us on a Friday night through Sunday afternoon. He needs it more often than that, but DH won't enforce it, so I'm hoping that as he continues to go through puberty that he'll either begin to really stink and/or want to impress a gurl and will begin to bathe more often.
 
All 4 of my kids take showers in the morning AND in the evening. :)

Sometimes on Saturdays or Sundays when they DON'T have swim practice, I'll let them veg out a bit; but if we're going somewhere, they HAVE to take showers! Everyday.

My youngest, 7 years old, takes showers whenever he feels like it. Sometimes several times a day when he gets really sweaty :)
 
I prefer every night, but it doesn't always happen. Every other day as a minimum. But, if they have any sort of
sports game, they know, no matter what, they have to shower that night. My teenager showers every day.

It's very hot and humid where you live, right? I just met a young man who grew up in Florida, and he showers several times a day for that reason. He was shocked my boys only showered once a day. If I didn't have to style my hair and put make up on, I'd like to shower several times a day too! I HATE being sweaty...
 
there´s no way of not showering here. It´s too hot and they all get stinky after school! So, they shower daily, no excuses :giggle
 
Every other day, unless they're out playing in the dirt or have gotten sweaty/stinky running around. But they're only 3.5 and 2. And I do wipe them down on nights that they don't shower.
 
mine have one at least twice a week and more often in the summer months,Gabbi the baby has one every other night
