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!
We did this when I was a child; becasue it was cheaper and there was limited hot water.0 -
I remember my Dad commenting about the tin bath and saying he was pleased he was the oldest, he got to go in first out of the many sibblings as they also shared a bathOne day I might be more organised...........

When my 3 little ones have a bubbly bath, i usually jump in after, but i rinse off with a couple of jugs of fresh water.iyswim.“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. Your really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” Lucille Ball.0

My mom lives with us, and when she has a bath, she only fills it about half full, and stays in for about 15 mins, which I think is a waste. So I jump in after she gets out, and fill it up properly and then stay there for an hour or so, until the water is cold (I like the water really hot) - but as you might have guessed, I don't have any kids, so have the time to do this!!!0

All the time, my bathtakes so long to fill. £ boys in together and dd in on her own i even jump in there sometimes so thats 5 of us in 1 lot of bath water lol sounds gross now when i type it. OH and i share baths alot of the time together too, its nice once the kids are in bed to have me time together:oYou can touch the dust but please don't write in it !
Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?0 -
Practicually every time, I have mine, not quite scalding but definatly hot, then the kids decide between them who is going in first after me. On the whole its normally my DS then DD as she likes to languish in it.19th March 2007 LBM£5,969.63 1st January 2018 £5960.18, 1st January 2019 £11,032.0018th August 2023 £12,435.00, Student Loan £22244.00 From 2009-12Challenges: To learn to stop spending..0

Do you share a bed with someone ? Much more germs spread that way I expect than in the bath.One day I might be more organised...........
