[quote=Anonymous]My mother (90) has said that when she was a child, they boiled water on the stove for a bath -each family member took a bath one-after-another (the youngest got to have the first bath). After the baths, the water was used to mop the floors of the house. This was weekly. I imagine fuel was expensive - this would have been in the snowy mid-west. It was the depression. They never owned a car. They sent 4 kids to college ~ off point, but worth mentioning.[/quote]
