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?

When I was young bathtub scum - which mostly my mum wiped down just before next bath - was atrocious, but that could have had to do with the size of my family. Three kids having daily baths is a lot of dirt. I don't think mum was particularly concerned that she cleaned the bath with non-enviromental-or-kid-friendly 'cream cleanser' because that was the time and her culture. She's also a nurse; she's used to hospital strength cleaning.

You take a glass of booze in with you, and get your spouse to remove the kids from the house. And get someone else to clean the bathtub. (Yeah, so very practical!)
