spit bath, did u ever have one???

now technically, human salive is one of the natural antiseptic fluid produced by the human body..and well.. we don't exactly mind our girlfriend's saliva sticking in our mouth while snogging,, do we... just becoz it was the parents' makes it worse...??

LOL...The dreaded spit bath! I haven't had one but my poor cousin would get them all the time. Her mom almost drowned her..LOL..She would stand straight and still while looking at me out of the corner of her eye. I was quite the tomboy at a young age so they probably figured it wouldn't do me much good..better to just dip me in the nearest stream..

I don't think anyone has ever used a towel, but maybe a tissue, or if not just licked their fingers then scrubbed. I still do that I think myself with my fiance if he has something on his face.

Yuck! No, thank God for it. Some people are so disgusting like that.

Gee! I was imagining the same thing. How can one have a spit bath without using spit. No, I never had that in my life. I used my spit to make my video game controller a little smoother so that I can tap buttons repeateadly. My friend didn't like using my controller for that day!

I don't ever remember getting a spit bath myself but I gave spit baths to my kids when I would forget to take a wet wash cloths.ugh.

antiquelady,i donot recall such an incident!!i was not sure by what you meant when you said spitbath.however very rarely i do soit on my handkercheif to moisten my handkerchief to wipe my kids dirty hands.

Yep, had that done. My mom used to use her thumb. I never bothered with my kids. Give them about ten minutes and they are miraculously clean without touching them.

Unfortunately I did have to suffer through this experience as a child. Each time served as a reminder to clean my face before we left home. Once in a while I'd need another reminder.

And I bet that you could not or wopuld not dare to tell him not to do it! lol. My mother did it to me a few times and I too, hated it. Out would come the hanky and then she would spit and clean up whatever was on my face. How unsanitary they were - and yet we survivied! I think I was about 10 before I told her not to do it. I probably ran away after I had said it. Many thnaks for the memory!

My thing was my mother use to spit in a tissue that was for her nose and was probably used at one time or another for that in the past. She would spit on it and then put the spit in our hair to try to flatten a cowlick. Now, picture spit in your hair flattening your hair down half way with tissue in it and what ever else was on the tissue. I remember one time she did that and did not know that there was a piece of peppermint in it and I had peppermint stuck in my hair. The preacher pulled it out later that day when I shook his hand good-bye after the service. My mom said, "You know how kids are with candy!" To cover the fact that it was her and not me which she lead him to believe that put the candy in my hair. I was so embarrassed. After that day No More Spit Baths. I would run from her!

Yes but my parents made me spit on the hankie.x

Yeah, I hated them. I swear my mom used to find imaginary dust on me to deal with. And at the last minute too. Yuck!

yes i did my mam and nanna used to do it all the time when i was younger we went out so everytime before we went out i used to wash up and make sure i was totally clean lol

I thought that was one of the most gross things that I have ever had done. My parents did not do it. My grandma did, though. Ugh!!!

I don't remember ever having that done as a child. I will however wet my finger and wipe my kids faces when they have dirt on them.

oh yes... had plenty of those. I always considered myself fortunate because at least my mum used to let ME spit on the hanky whereas others had to be washed with their mum's spit!! Thank goodness for wet wipes!

Hello ANTIQUELADY! I never thought that there's something like that. I mean, oh my! Your dad did that? I never have spit bath because I think it's gross but well maybe it's one way of saying how much your dad loves you.

I didn't experience having a spit bath, thank goodness... :) I also bring wet wipes in my bag whenever we go out. In your case, on the good side, your dad would want that you'd look and feel clean, maybe he just doesn't realize that he did not do it the right way, coz what he thought, that is the right way...
