With a house of 8, having a schedule for showering is pretty important...but life throws curves here and there...and I find I love to have the kids shower in the morning, and me in the late afternoon. Makes for a much nicer evening.
Do ya'll have a must shower routine for you or your family?
 
Morning showers all the way. Sometimes I have to wait just a bit cuz my boys take theirs first since they go to school early. My eldest is a water hog. I probably need to set a time on how long he can stay in. When he was younger & taking showers solo, I caught him laying down in the tub letting the shower fall down on him. It wouldn't surprise me if he still does it. LOL!
 
I almost always shower just before bed. I love crawling into bed feeling clean and it helps me relax and get sleepy.
 
Morning all the way. That is unless I sit around in my jammies half the day. ;-)
 
We don't. We should, I know it would make life easier. Our water heater is currently giving us issues so no more than 2 of us can shower in the morning without running out of hot water. I don't shower at night if I can help it b/c it makes my hair totally nuts.
 
We ALL shower in the late afternoon/ evening except my husband. I like to have my shower after I exercised, that's in the afternoon. My kids like to have theirs as late as possible...
 
On weekdays, I shower early, before I get the kids up. On the weekends, it's whenever I get around to it. DS's schedule is similar, but he gets to sleep an extra 90 minutes. :p DH's schedule is pretty erratic right now, so his is not at a set time.

DD was showering in the morning, but she is SO SLOW (with everything, not just her shower) that it was driving me batty trying to get her out the door on time :hairpol, so we're shifting to evening for her. The only problem is that sometimes she has too much homework and is up too late to be able to shower at night, so there have been days she's had to skip it. Fortunately, at her age it's not that much of an issue.
 
The weather is killing me… … so if I can shower a dozen times I would… there are only three of us at home.. so there isn't any issue on who goes first!! LOL!!
 
I need my shower in the morning to wake up! I'd probably still be in bed otherwise. :)
 
I shower before bed. I have naturally curly hair and don't like to use the blow dryer.
 
First thing unless it's a workout day (more often than not), then after I run or workout, which I do around 9am.
 
Just about always at night. When iw as a teenager, i always showered before school, but I think that had more to do with my exceptoinally bad perm that was common in the 80's - needed to be wet to get it under some sort of control..

We have two instantaneous hot water systems so no running out, I would live in the shower if I could work out how to read in there at the same time...
 
Have to shower in the morning or I would not be awake and my hair would look horrendous, so it's 5:30am for me, except weekends :)
 
During the school year it's in between...I drop the kids at school, crank the iPod and enjoy my time alone without a kids charging in the bathroom.

During the summer it has to be a night thing...it's so humid here, you get sweaty walking from the house to the car. I just can't crawl into be feeling gross and nasty.
 
Usually about 6.20-6.30am before I leave for university otherwise just after breakfast whenever that may be :)
 
I have to shower to wake up, so I usually shower between 6:30-6:45. We are a family of 5 and 4 of us are AM showering people. My 17 yo DD showers about 4:45 am, DH gets in about 5:15 am, 19 yo DS showers around 5:45-6:00 AM and then I go last. Usually by the time I'm getting out of the shower, I'm alone in the house. I can finish getting ready in peace and quiet. It's awesome. Kinda crazy that a 17 yo gets up that early to get in the shower but it's that or shower at night and we're just morning people. She's usually in bed by 9. I'm sure that will change next year when she's in college...
 
I always shower in the morning... helps me wake up, plus my hair is sorta curly and looks pretty crazy after I sleep on it. :)

My boys both shower in the morning before school. It helps them get moving faster in the morning.

On the weekend if I don't have anywhere to be first thing on Saturday I love to get some chores done and have some chill out time in my jammies before I get around to showering.
 
My kids should have a shower in the evening, after training.
I prefer the morning to be and smell:giggle fresh for the day.

You can eat in there. I've done it.
 
I usually take one before going to bed, but this entire week I have been doing it in the morning because I can't keep my eyes open.
