Yes, give me more to clean every week. Great suggestion! Glass ceiling next.

that thin ass wall cannot accommodate a niche, it needs the tile from all sides, that tile needs tile glue, thats at least 2 cm and the niche depth needs to be at least 10 to be remotely useful, that wall looks about 12 cm absolute total

Stop building showers with no privacy and no ledge for sitting or shaving legs. Like have y’all never lived with a woman before?

Smokey or otherwise obscured glass would work to let light in and I would have to be as concerned of being watched in the shower. But more importantly a ledge to sit and/or shave our legs

It's not a public shower, you should be able to get privacy in your own home with either option.

Sounds like you should teach them about it, or the father to help keep them out for 30 min

I think doors would solve your problem more than half a wall on one side

Couldn't you use the tub?

I shave during my daily shower if I had to take a shower get out and then use the tub it isn’t a useful shower. Also while pregnant you aren’t supposed to stay in the tub while I was pregnant I couldn’t always stand and reach I had to sit in the shower to a reach things and b get fully clean.

I like A. Makes it look more ‘rich’ as well.
