I Am a Fan of Baths

I love baths. I love bath tubs. I love all of the oils and salts and bubbles and soaps and other implements of bathing. Since I can remember, baths have been a time for me to unwind and relax and I usually really need that by the end of my day.

Since having my daughter, I don’t get the kind of relaxing baths I used to. When she was first born, I bathed her in the tub with me. She would nurse and I would wash her and then her father would come and get her and let me finish my own bath. As she got older, she still liked to take her baths with me and that was fine when we had out big garden tub. However, in this house we just have a standard sized bath tub and when she get sin with me it just feels crowded. My goal is that the next house I have will have room for a massive bath tub, at least a garden tub if not a two-person soaking tub.

My mom was telling me recently that she still loves baths, but is not comfortable getting in and out of them anymore. I was telling her that I think it could be a simple matter of having a walk in tub installed. A walk in tub actually has a door so you can walk right in and out, no climbing required. And, many models have higher seats so you do not have to lower yourself to the ground. I’m such a bath-a-holic that if I ever begin to have mobility issues, I will absolutely be getting a walk in model.
