Ditto on being bathed in the sink. Then, when i was big enough I was usually thrown in the tub with another sibling.

not your mom's socks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I suppose I bathed as a kid. Don't remember anything, though.

One of my co-workers just threatened to kick another one in his "special places" and then called me out for the way my eyes brightened at the suggestion.

What's a girl to do?

Tell us now or we'll let a baby sleep ANYWHERE!!!!!!

I progressed from tub to sink to bathtub with one of those hold a baby upright thingys. Bathing the kids was cute for awhile, but after the first five hundred times or so it starts to get a little old. Telling them to just go take a bath is awesome.

Dude, I got bathed in the kitchen sink. With dishes in the other basin.

So did Noah. But in the tub he kicks and splashes and is happier.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Both my kids hit the sink until they were too big. So much easier to deal with.

I remember showering with K-Bug when she was wee, but CJ was a tub kid until he was old enough to shower on his own. Now it is just the battle to GET him to shower regularly. I can tell he is hitting pre-pub cause he will smell if he doesn't.

Gah - what the heck do I do with a boy going through puberty? Geeesh.

I think we used the baby bathtub once, maybe twice. She's been in the big tub with one of us since she was maybe five or six weeks old.

Frankly, it was easier to bathe her before she could sit up.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I wish LUSH made a line of baby products. My nephew really loves bath bombs, though.
