Sharing bath water

[UltimateLuxury]

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?

I think it’s ok with a partner (as long as the first person isn’t totally dirty). Some people like to bathe together after all..

I would bathe together with DH but not after him, even though this doesn’t make sense.

Sharing bath water is absolutely grim.

Us kids used to do it in the 60s. Bath nights Wednesday and Sunday.
Many families couldn't afford to waste hot water.
I always offer my bath to DH. Sometimes he accepts when he can be arsed to have a bath 🤣

Ye kids will go in after me or hubby couldn't say I'm bothered tbh only time is after a shave or something I will refill it. If they could wash perfectly normally on war allowance water yet not that many years later stick a nose up at sharing a full bath lol

Utterly grim, but I find baths in general to be grim.

DP and I always share bath water - I usually get to use it first 😆. I sometimes hop in after DS. I think it’s fine. We have a shower on the taps and I’ll have a rinse off with that before I get out anyway.

That’s disgusting unless you have no other option.

When I was married yes. We both showered in the morning and the bath was more relaxation with candles and music than cleansing.

We do the same, I like a nice warm bath and he likes it practically tepid so makes sense for him to use my slightly cooled off water. We generally aren’t dirty enough for it to be an issue.
I’ll occasionally decline to go after him if he’s filthy after working on a car and run a fresh one, but not often

This. I cannot believe people actually do this. People are truly filthy and this is why I don’t like public spaces 🤢

There's not a lot of dirt or sweat if you shower every day.
Baths are a little bit of luxury - I used to listen to nice music while sipping a nice glass of wine.

I wouldn't use a bath after someone else though.

Another memory from the mid 70s but that was probably due to the power cuts and living by candle light.

I'm sitting in the bath right now after my husband had been in. I don't usually go in after him but I can't be bothered to empty it and refill it.
He also has 2-3 baths a day because he loves a bath so it's not really that dirty 🤣

Gross

Do you really mean 2-3 baths a day?

Grim. Very grim.

Grim. 😬 Our house is cold. A bath would not stay warm for 10 minutes here.

We always share. But then we have a lot of baths. So seems very wasteful not to.

Very grim

The germ phobes make me laugh. Have you never had sex with your partner?

Yeah 🙈🤣
He has one on a morning when he's getting ready, one at dinnertime (he works at home) then sometimes one on a night.
He's not a germaphobe or anything like that, he just likes sitting in the bath!

No bath now but we did this when I lived at home and used to do it with teen
kids and husband. We shared towels too 🤣

I wish PP’s would come up with a better word than grim? Can we have a different word, let’s have a bit of variety!

I don't reuse bath water for a washing/ cleaning bath. Occasionally in heatwaves we have all shared a bath of cold water one after another to have a quick cold water dip at the end of the day before we go to bed. But I don't share water that's had any kind of shower gel or shampoo in it.
