Out of curiousity.......... did anyone used to have baths with their parents when they were kids? xx

nope but 4 of us shared one bath siblings xx

no muffy, not with parents, but with my two kid brothers. we had some plastic boats which we filled up with water and sprayed them at the light bulb, it burst and we all ended up with glass in our backs! Happy days!
we did have our little girl in the bath with us til about 7 years old.

no never
just with my sister when very young

When I wwas a kid we had a bath in a zinc bath in front of the fire - I dont recall we shared the same water but it was strictly one at a time!

Too bloominng cold to hang about!

No never, but I remember having a bath in the tin bath in front of the fire (showing my age now!). You had to be careful you didn't burn your botty on the part that faced the fire!

no i didnt
ewww wouldn't want to see all the wobbly bits belonging to my parent lol.
and i was the youngest of 9 i didnt share with siblings either .

Jac....lol...you beat me to it! I guess you're about the same age as me then!

My brother and I used to bath with my father till we were about 4.

Real good fun, I remember as we were allowed to get the sponge very soapy and had suds coming over the top of the bath.

My mum used to shout if we got them on the floor.

No. I was going to say the same as Jac and Maggie about the tin bath, it used to hang on a nail in the back yard. I think it was a generation thing back then that you didn't see bits of your parents! I certainly shared a bath with my children when they were younger.

No certainly not.!!!....neither did they share a bath,,ha ha,,,,,,,,
cant ever remember seeing my dad in just underwear,,I would have been mortified and so would he,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)))

,,never bathed with siblings either cause of sex and age difference,,,so had one to myself,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i used to have a bath with me dad,he,d get in first and when there was enough bubbles,i got plonked in with dad till i was hmmmm about 5-6.
and one of grandaughters would have bath with son till she was 3,then he felt she was getting too old.xxx

Yes i was also in the tin bath era, same water , 3 kids took it in turns., with the odd top up of hot water

No...............we had a tin bath too and I can't ever remember seeing either of my parents in their underwear.

They were either in nightclothes and dressing gown or fully clothed.

Golly I'd forgotten that, a zinc bath in front of the coal fire in the dining room.
My brother and I went in separately.
When we came to Canada I was 7 and we had bedrooms on the 3rd floor of the house, with our own bathroom. my brother and I opened the window and brought in some HUGE icicles, and put them in the bath ( a wonderful deep one on legs). I remember our shock when we checked our icicles and found only a few drops of water left.We weren't used to a bathroom being warm!!!!

MY KIDS BORN 1968-72 WERE BOUGHT UP TO BE A FREE AS THEY WANTED WHEN YOUNGER REGARDS BEING INDOORS

AND I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS

YEH I GOT OLD 58YR BODY,,,

NOW IF ON CAN GET OH'S MOTOR RUNNING

No.
I was the only girl in the middle of 6 boys untill I was 11,( when mom had twins (another boy) but my first sister,) (and another sister later)
so I never had baths with the lads, however we did share the bathwater, the eldest three boys had a bath first... then I had fresh water and a bath to myself, then I would get out, and the youngest boys would get in...
I was never allowed to walk around without clothes on, and if I had my dressing gown on, even when older, my dad would say;''I hope you have got clothes on under that''
