wife of baths
Hey people who take baths, and claim it is relaxing:
How does that work? Like, specifically, how often do you clean your bathtub?
Currently Rocket is bathed in a small baby tub, and the Junebug takes baths in our ordinary tub, and let me tell you I am counting the days until he grows out of reacting to showers like we have chosen to wash him in the special Flesh-Flensing Acid Shower of Death. Because right now he gets washed twice a week, ordinarily, and I have to scrub the tub down first, at least a quick wipe with one of those Lysol wet wipes, because, Jesus. I mean, we shower in that thing daily. I’ve seen what we pull out of the shower drain. It’s gross. I don’t want him sitting in that. Instead I worry about how well I’ve been able to rinse the tub and about whether it’s poisoning him sitting in Soft Scrub residue. So, like, I walk by Lush, I look at the bath bombs, it sounds nice, but then I think about the choice of sitting in dregs of hair and scum or else scrubbing the tub and then sitting in bleach eddies. Plus, if I got a bath bomb, probably scrubbing the tub afterwards as well. How does it get to be relaxing?

My filth tolerance is pretty high in general, though. If stuff was floating up out of the drain I'd be like hell no, but since we use a rubber plug instead of a built-in one, it's just whatever's on the surface of the tub, which is soap scum and a bit of dirt and hair. I figure I probably eat that much dirt/hair/soap over the course of the week, so I just... don't really worry about it.
So, I guess my answer is "be more disgusting than the tub," which probably doesn't help.
