Gender Roles and Scrubbing Bubbles...

Bath time is important to me.  As I contemplate moving I sadly consider a great master bath more crucial than a kitchen (not a big surprise).


One of the things I love though about big tubs though is that I can stick all 3 kids in at once and get it over with.  I'm too much of a helicopter mom to imagine letting them do so with out me present is not conceivable.  The problem is Harm is 5.  Kinder is next year... he has a sister.  Yup, it is time to maybe separate.

What is the cut off time for these sorts of things?  I decided Kinder.  I wish there was a manual for this sort of thing.  Oh the connivence issue!  I will also miss seeing the kids all play games in the tub and just having fun like this.

I'll tell you one thing though, even though Rach is getting her own bath soon, those boys are going to be sharing for time too come!

  1. I agree! It is so nice to just do bathtime once with all the kids in. Or they shower, Caleb with the hubs and Elizabeth with me. I hate wasting a tub full on just one little person! Not sure when I will separate them. I guess sometime soonish.

  2. Combine forces to conquer. It has to be done! Sometimes we have our three oldest share the shower. Leads to fights, but saves time in the long run!

  3. I love letting the kids bathe together. Jeffrey says they have to stop soon, but I really don't want to because they have so much fun. But it is true, it is time. Sigh.
    I love that photo of them in the tub, though!
