Bath used as Bidet = clean before toddler bathes!

[yesterdaytodaytomorrow]

I feel this is a non-brainer but need to convince my other half.

Husband uses the bath as a bidet after he does his business 💩, we bathe our 2 year old in this same bath and before every bath my toddler has, I clean the bath. My husband believes there's no need for me to be cleaning it as the bath won't be dirty for the little one to bathe in because the water alone that he uses while cleaning his bum will "clean" it.

Please vote and/or give me help to persuade him I should be cleaning it before the little one bathes! 😭

I'd label it clearly so it doesn't get used in the kitchen

I'm curious about this suggested use. Arse acne?

How often do you wash the showerhead..

By flushable do you mean you are able to flush it down the loo? Because there's lots of things you could flush but shouldn't.

I don't care about washing arses in the bath. It's a bath and a shower head.

I do care that there are still people out there flushing those stupid wipes. Don't flush anything that isn't puke, pee, paper and shit.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

What's the difference between washing his bum with the shower and actually having a shower?

How is this any different from washing your arse in the bath or shower a few hours after a poo?

Urgh. I would also be cleaning the bath.

What a grim man.

The detail in the OPs story is so revolting that it's hard to see past it (your DH OP, not you), but this is true. It's not actually any different from those of us having a bath in the evening after having "just" used loo roll during the day. (Although the addendum about him not bothering to wipe beforehand it it's runny is admittedly beyond the pale).

Omg, just remembered how everything had a bidet in the 80s

Why? What was the obsession? It's died out now

I mean everyone not everything

Your DH is so weird! However- washing bum over bath is no different to actually having a bath where you wash your bum as well as the rest of your body. Toddler is going to sit in bath too with his anus which will have poo on it too so will therefore be bathing in his own poo.

I m so jealous, I wish my man was clean like that! Presumably he would not let the shower head touch his bum, why would he. I would rinse and clean the bath before bathing (anyone), I always do that. Because of other dirty stuff, like skin peeling, hair, or whatevers. In this case I would extra clean the handle of the shower head. Like I clean the flush button on the toilet and the door handle, for poo hands 😊

Love the as that’s on this thread

Ad not as!

I have one of these. Not exactly cheap but worth every penny.

Buy a portable bidet. Less water wasted!

I just use the toilet wet wipes that say flushable on the packet.

We all use them in our house. Then shower in the evening.

Just as I would feel nauseous about having a bath in a bidet, I would not be happy with someone using my bath as a bidet.

It’s different from showering because length of time taken to shower and the use of soap means the poo will be gone at the end of the shower. But a quick swill of the arse crack may result in, erm, retained crumbs around the bath.

😅🤣🤣

I'm not a bath person at all, but I would expect a bath to be properly cleaned after every normal use, doubly so if being used in this manner.
