Just that really.
For what it is worth we have a massive roll top bath which takes 15 minutes to fill
I usually offer out to rest of family when I am done.
is that okay or grim?

If they want to use it then fine. Not if you've been shaving particularly hairy legs though.

Do they ever take you up on it?

I don’t like it. We were expected to do it growing up so it’s one of those things I vowed not to do once I had decision-making power.

I’d say grim but I think baths full stop are grim. You just sit in your dirt sweat and dead cells.

I usually let my husband have my bath water. He usually declines if I’ve washed my hair but otherwise he will use it.
