so we make do of what we have.
See, mostly rich people are the ones who have bath tubs here in our country...and my kids get to see bath tubs on televisions and they want to experience how its like..we always say soon, or like when we get to stay in a hotel maybe they can get in a bath tub..
the other night, my hubby was the one giving my youngest son a bath. My youngest then went inside the "balde" or the pail..and hubby said, we do not have a bath tub to enjoy but we can still enjoy with the pail lol.... my lil kid was happy...
my point? kids are soo easy to please, hopefully adults are also that way too.

Children are very easy to please coz they have simple needs. We've been there once! We even have simple problems then. But as we grow older, life gets more complicated and so are our demands in life. That's why people who are childlike (which is totally different from childish) are good people.

I honestly don't know what are the other usages of a bath tub aside from a pro-longed bath to soften impurities caught by the body so it could easily removed by a single rubbing.

Hi sabado
I read somewhere on the internet that in-water deliveries are becoming popular as they provide good health for the newly born. Many in the west and some places here in India too have started doing that. Maybe this is another use of the bath tub which was discovered quite recently.
On the lighter sides, I dont see much use of these tubs as to get the best results you would have to be in water for a longer time and many if not all do have busy schedules![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

Yeah, tv is a problem that way. People are happy with what they've got until they see what other people have. Then they want what they see on tv. Gail your child likes a pail.
I had a friend with mo bathroom when I was a child. She felt like she was the only one, but I didn't care.

They sounds adorable and sweet.
I met a woman who was going back to Gautemala. Her children were happy with stick toys there. Here, they wanted cabbage patch dolls and transformers. She said she couldn't afford to buy them what they wanted.

Are the tubs very expensive? That's kind of hard for me to wrap my mind around. Its like when I was told about some country that only rich people have two cars. I'm like "huh??" because here those are things that we have and we aren't rich by any stretch of the imagination.
A bathtub is alright to relax in, but you probably get a lot cleaner with that pail. When you sit in the tub you are also sitting in your own dirt too and it just gets back on your body again.
The shower is much better and they have them now with settings to massage while you rinse.

Hi jazel
First, as toni said above - Children are easy to please just because they have simpler needs and it is easy to convince them as they are still much away from the evils we grown ups have - jealousy, greed etc.
Adults too are that way but then the Society comes into play. When at college, I had read somewhere - we all are so very friends behind the closed college gates... once these gates open and we get into the real world, we start discriminating among friends - based on our jobs or even based on rich and poor. It is not something that we want to get into but then Life seems to become larger than it actually is and we find ourselves lost chasing those BIG Dreams of ours - the desires to be Successful, Rich etc.
On the lighter sides, I am a child somewhere too. I can be pleased with some good chocos, loads of ice-creams, good tasty food and most essentially - the warmth of love!![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

So agree, i do have a lot of friends way before college, before married life but when i got into this - marriage - children - career, only few remained as like you have said some started to discriminate, plus we cannot find common denominators to talk about. Unlike kids who can be with other kids without discriminating and the very good thing is they can get along very well even if their languages are different!
I too can be pleased easily, i am young at heart, chocolates...ice creams..lollipops are still my thing ![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

You know I also love the snakes and ladders game... hence these dice ones![](/Content/images/emotes/w00t.gif)

No either at home.
Year 2010 of July, my family had a night in Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park in Cavite, a nice all-in resort near our place. There's bathtub in the room that my kids well-loved of. They just want to stay in the room because of that bathtub *LOL. I just told them, there's still more the resort has to offer outside. Then we roam... just after I promised that the bathtub will still be there until we go back *wink!
Until now, it's been a year since then, and they still want us to go back in that nice resort... yes, one reason is the bathtub *LOL

100 years ago, few people in the U SA had bathtubs or telephones. I grew up on a farm without electricity, telephone, running water, or that preverbal bath tub. We carried water, heated it on a wood burning stove, and took baths in a washtub. This was NOT 100 years ago, either.

When I stayed with my grandparents they never had a tub or running water in the house. But never the less I still wanted to be with them in the country over city with my parents LOL
Grandma would boil water on her old wood cookstove and each of us bathed out of a basin for Sunday morning church.
the rest of the time we went down to the little creek running through their property it was a spring and very cold water. But we washed there a lot.

bless em. Get them a little wading pool and you can put some bubble bath in there and let them take a bath. They would get a kick out of that.
My son when he was little used to go to the pond. he would come home holding bull frogs and muddy LOL
So I would get the small pool out and get some floaty toys and throw bubble bath in it and he would sit there for an hour or so and play and get clean LOL
Have a nice day.

When my children were small, they used the bath tub to play and 'swim' a lot making bathing time fun and long. Now we don't really use it much and we're even thinking to get rid of it once we get around renovating our bath room. We have both showers and tub in the bath room, getting rid of the tub will add more space.

Well, it's glad to see kids making their own way, utilize the resources they have. I also commend the father's positive response to it. In these little acts, we can learn from our children on how to have a positive outlook in life in times of nothingness.
