Children bathing together

Growing up on a farm with no running water until plumbing got installed the mid-70's, all of us kids would get piled into a big metal tub in the middle of the kitchen and bathe together. It was no big deal and a perfectly normal thing to do back in the day. Mom and grandma would spend an hour or so boiling up a dozen+ pots of water for the tub (2 at a time). No parent in their right mind would spend endless hours boiling dozens upon dozens of pots of water to fill the tub each time for each separate child. If they were to do that, the last kid would still be bathing at 3am.

Believe it or not, families back in the day used to be very close-knit. We lived in small homes, shared bedrooms, shared bathtubs, and did everything else together.... as a family. We worked together, we played together, we bathed together, we slept together. There was no "ew" factor about any of it.

My mom tells me of similar stories when she was a child. She even slept with her 5 brothers and when she was a teen with her mom till marriage. But overall everyone was so close!! I think it was lovely to have that close bond. In 2021 everything is suddenly ew?

Yes, we were all very close. You should have seen bath and bedtime when my aunt and uncle and cousins came to visit and stay on the farm with us during harvest season. Now that was a housefull... with over a half dozen kids all splashing and playing in two big metal tubs in the kitchen. And my sister was such a bed hog, she'd steal all the covers and slowly shove me all the way to the far edge of the bed until I would elbow her to shove over and give me back some bed space. LOL Good times!

So far the count is 4 yes 5 for toddlers only and 1 no

Toddlers would be cute and faster to deal with, them only, though. However, I'd love more water related tasks, what if children could get in swimsuits and play around the sprinkler from Seasons.

I think all Sims should be able to bathe together.

Hahahahaha sounds heartwarming ❤ ?

I would like to have an option for kids to bathe together. Not Hot Tubs, but bathtubs and not wearing swimsuits either.
