Does Michelle Duggar make you feel like a little mole with no energy? Me too! Maybe if Husband's work hadn't gotten so busy I'd feel more Michelle-like. This blog is worthless if there isn't some disclosure or honesty, though. So, you think you're bad? Ever feed the kids dinner in the bathtub, knowing full well there would be no dishes, all the crumbs and face sauce would wash right down the drain? Ever follow it by having them brush their teeth while still in the bath?
Well, me neither. Don't point and judge - it's not like I home school them in the tub.
Oh, lord, no. Don't ever let Michelle Duggar let you feel like a lazy mother. She only ever takes care of the youngest babies. Her older children, especially the older daughters, take care of the younger children. The daughters cook dinner and feed it to the children. The daughters make sure the kids are cleaned of crumbs and have their teeth brushed.
And I'm sure your kids thought eating pizza in the bathtub was awesome. That's the sort of thing they'll look back on fondly when they grow up.

I really like this idea! For now, I just make my kids jump in the pool instead of taking baths/showers.

No judgement here! I think it's a brilliant idea, but I doubt I'll be able to convince my 19 & 21 yr. old sons of that fact.

Are you kidding me? If I had thought of it, I would do it with myself every day!! Off to the tub!!

Fabulous idea! My daughter (6) would live in the bath if she could so that would be her idea of heaven and make me mummy of the century. When i was a nanny in the UK in summer, we would get out the little paddling pools and at the end of the day put bath wash in and the kids had a wonderful time making bubbles (and getting clean) just before their parents came home :)
