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.

Oh god no.

@Twiglets1 OP says there are pubes in the water when her husband is done 🤮

I mean, by all means share bath water if you like, but I think it's pretty gross to expect other people to get in after you if they clearly don't want to.

Need to wash the dog first before making the soup

Pube broth 😂😂😂😂

This is going to normalise it for the kids too so they’ll grow up thinking this is not a problem and their partner will be having to deal with this if they end up with children!

51 years of age here and other than being chucked in the bath with my sister when we were both small, never in my life have I shared bath water with anyone else! And no we weren’t well off. Just not gross. 😂

Perhaps dad should use the kids leftover bath water then, rather than them having to wash in his dirty water?

Pubic, come on, I meant pubic!!
We aren't strapped for cash

That is disgusting. I wouldn't bathe in that water and wouldn't expect my children too.

Never had to do this growing up and will never do it to my children. It's pretty disgusting.

Boak nope it’s a no from me. Oh seriously… no. I don’t like that.

I wouldn't like it and I wouldn't do it.

Yes but she didn't say the bath was filled with pubes did she? You said pube filled bath which is very different from a couple of pubes.

You lot make me laugh acting so horrified at the thought of your partner's pubes. Don't you have sex with them?

Why would having sex with my husband be a factor in whether or not it's gross for my children to bathe in his pube infested bath water?

In my house baths go:
DH first (scalding hot)
Then me (still v hot)
DS (normal hot)

No one in my house pulls the plug on a bath without first ascertaining no one else wants in! This is our normal. We are clean, hygienic, still alive, not poor, just seemingly unable to pour gallon upon gallon of hot water down the drain without getting as much from it as possible! It's normal op, and yabu

I was referring to people feeling disgusted that couples would share the same bathwater because there might be a stray pube or two in there.

Although pube "infested" is a strange choice of word. Do you think there is something inherently disgusting about pubic hair? It's just hair at the end of the day.

Having sex with them isn’t the same as bathing in a soup of their pubes, sweat and other bodily excretions as a means of getting myself clean!

Back in the day the whole family would use the same bath water in a tin bath in front of the fire .

You can tell none of us use immersion heaters anymore.

That's so true, come to think of it. I'd forgotten how much of a pain it used to be getting the water hot enough for a bath in the first place.

4 pubes is hardly infested, but I get your point... show him some of these responses and let him know the general "on the street" view is that it's no longer acceptable as from today😃

Perhaps he could shave his pubes - that might partly solve the problem?

We will have to agree to disagree because I still feel clean having a bath after my husband and I smell clean too 😀

But then I would have to as well and I truly can't be arsed.

I don’t bathe anyway, we are a shower household. I haven’t had a bath at all in our “new” bath and we’ve had it 3 years

I’d rather take fewer showers with my own water than do this!
