I'm just jealous anyone is able to shower with an awake kid. This has never been a thing for me. LJ will just stand at the shower door and cry.
What worked for me is completely child proofing K's room and putting her fav toys and books in there, with a baby gate on the door. She's like "ooh fun stuff" and barely notices that I snuck out for a shower. But I can see how this would not necessarily work with every kid.
I sporadically try a new "shower while kid is awake" tactics and then I just give up after a few failed attempts (aka toddler standing at shower door screaming). He has been this was, I swear, since he was born. I have just gotten in the habit of showering at night. He's dramatic. Can't wait for the tween years.
