RubySlippers · 10/03/2008 20:02

yes - all the time

charmkin · 10/03/2008 20:02

yes

cockles · 10/03/2008 20:02

Always. Does anyone NOT ?

sherby · 10/03/2008 20:02

You have to have a no weeing rule though

snowleopard · 10/03/2008 20:02

We used to when I was growing up, and with a boyfriend I lived with when I was younger - but DP hates baths so we don't. I would though.

Every night. I go first as I like it hot (baby...) then dh goes in half an hour later. We have tried togethter, but no chance!

Iota · 10/03/2008 20:02

only 1 person in our family has baths - the rest of us shower

snowleopard · 10/03/2008 20:03

No the rule is no TELLING about whether you've weed

snooks · 10/03/2008 20:04

I go in first with ds1 & ds2 (obv I don't count cos I'm a fragant lady who doesn't perspire, just glows ) then dh gets in after us, whether the water is cold or not. Haven't had any complaints or loss of friends so far

pedilia · 10/03/2008 20:05

yes we do, I go first as I like it very hot, then DC's then DH.

Would never actaully occur to me to run everyone a seperate bath!

DH does prefer a shower and takes DC's in with him

TheBlonde · 10/03/2008 20:05

yes

emmatomATO · 10/03/2008 20:06

Every night I have my 15-20 minutes to myself when I read or drop off in the hot water.

I then shout downstairs and sometimes one at a time or sometimes both dcs join me. It's amazing what they will talk about in the bath that they wouldn't normally. I think of it as our 'counselling' session almost.

Good job we have a big tub (and none of us are very dirty)!

OverMyDeadBody · 10/03/2008 20:09

every morning with DS!

southeastastra · 10/03/2008 20:11

oh i never did until lately, when i've noticed ds(14) stinking so let him have my bath (after i've got out, obviously)

All 4 of us have had a bath together, myself, DH, DD1 (5), DD2 (2). DD2 was worried that there was no room for Grandpa to get in!

I tend to escape to the bath, but DD's sense I am enjoying myself without them, search me out, and get in too. It's quite nice really. DH and I bathe together, when we get the chance.

frumpygrumpy · 10/03/2008 20:17

Yes, I often get out a (clean) bath (no exfoliating and scrubbing having happened) and DP thinks he might get it since I have been luxuriating and jumps in so he is also squeaky clean and thus has more chance of getting it. Sometimes he gets it. Sometimes he doesn't.

Kerrymum, it's not like we haven't showered that day, and DD's are both bathed each night so not really so dirty, it's just a way of relaxing together i suppose.

currantbunmum · 10/03/2008 20:20

It is quite big, and deep.

expatinscotland · 10/03/2008 20:20

no, we shower.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 10/03/2008 20:21

DH always gets in my water. I never get in anyones water.
