To think this is disgusting?

[planAplanB]

Adult male takes a shower over the bath with the plug in. Gets out and tops the water up to make a bath for the children.

Aibu - yes you're being unreasonable as this saves water.

No - it's disgusting to have your children bathing in their dad's shower water.

Nb: at least four public hairs were spotted floating around in the water.

Good lord, pubic hairs!! Of course it's OK, presuming the dad washes on a reasonably regular basis.

Depends how dirty he is. It’s like kids taking a bath together. It does save water and it’s also kind of gross. I imagine lots of families do this.

It's fine. Plenty of us shared bath water in the past. Fresh water for everyone is just wasteful.

Unless of course he has been literally down the mines or other particularly grubby job. But a refresh shower in the morning or evening would be fine

Actually, as a farmer with only tank rain water this sounds great. My showers though, not my husbands as he gets filthy.

Never killed me growing up.

Wouldn't with my kids, though.

Haha I was expecting something pretty normal as ime MNers seem to find a lot of things disgusting that I don’t find a big deal. But yeah this is a bit yuk, not something I’d do! I’d probably laugh at my husband for being so tight and tell him not to do that though, wouldn’t be totally appalled.

And when everyone is done with their bath you can use it to make soup.

Sure a couple of public hairs are no worse than peeing in the bath which kids frequently do

Personally would do it. But it's only like sharing bathwater.

If you think that is gross you don't want to know what's in the sea.....

I don't bathe in the sea to get clean

Oh god not this again. I remember the sharing bathwater thread where I learned how many people are comfortable jumping into their significant other's human soup, and now we've got kids bathing in their dad's pube broth.

Yes it's gross. I'm constantly baffled by this website. 90% of the time people are tremendous germaphobes who are absolutely ridiculous about cleanliness, except when it comes to wallowing in someone else's dirty lukewarm bathwater, then it's party time. Madness.

Maybe ok if mommy did it, but a huge sweaty man... no way

Yuck!

How do you know mummy’s not a huge sweaty woman? Lol

Actually not even mommy, she gets periods etc! Seriously what's the point of bathing them then

Don't dc swallow bath water though?
Poo crumbs..
Just saying
..

Do women not sweat/shed public hair/other secretions then?

Not all mummy's

My kids regularly interrupt my bath time and jump in. Surely that’s the same- the water looks clean to me? Guess it would be different if he has a particularly manual/dirty job 🤷‍♀️

We are showers all the way in our house. Find the whole notion of baths grim, and not relaxing. And drags out a wash! Haha

How do you know mummy’s not a huge sweaty woman? Lol

Yeah you're right i can't think of a scenario where this is not gross. Another kid would be ok

Gross. My mum made me get in after my brother and it felt slimey every time.

Using someone else's bath water is absolutely revolting, no matter the relation. Vile.

I actually shower before i take a bath. And wash the bath before kid takes a bath
