    i'm new on here..hi everyone....
    i think a solo bath is a lonely bath. Besides, I tell my children it's good to share things, including baths.;)

    We always get 2 baths out of the water, I'm always first cos I like it the hottest. I'm not over keen on the actual sharing a bath tho, I like to be able to lay and relax by myself :)

    Me and my OH always share bath water but don't get in at the same time as often as we used to:o ! Two children under 3 change things in so many ways!
    I think it's great to share it though. We always shared bath water when I was a kid and back then we only had a bath once a week on a sunday night. Phew!

    I think it's nice to share a bath with your other half sometimes.

    Hadn't really thought about the money-saving aspect of it though!

    My 2yr old and 4yr old get in the bath together every day after tea. they think its strange if they get in alone. I once got in with them, never again.
    My hubby always has my bath after me because i run it so full he doesn't like to waste the water. If he doesn't have it after me my 13yr old son gets in!
    Nothing to declare ;)

    There are three of us in this house. No one ever goes in third - but we all feel pulling the plug on hot water is a total waste, so two of us always share it. I ALWAYS go in first - I shower every morning so the water is always as clean when I come out as it was going in. I am also a bit strange in that I love the water absolutely scalding (I mean red legs) hot, but I can then only sit in in for ten mins. I never wash my hair or shave my legs in it :)

    Then either hubby or 17 son will go in after. I top up the bubbles (if you use shower gel to make the bubbles AND wash yourself, the bubbles don't all go flat like they do the instant you use a bar of soap...why is that??)

    Hi maverickangel!!:wave: Welcome to MSE!!

    We always share the bathwater here. Two out of the four people whol live here will have the water. I have a bath or shower twice a day so it's not a problem. No issues with it at all.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

    We share baths in our house - me, oh and ds ! Sometimes we bath the little ones first, then top it up for me and ds !!! so thats 4 (sometimes 5) of us using the one bath 6.gif

    I like to think we are quite clean ! We shower or bath at least once a day - more if we are doing grubby garden jobs or sports :D
