[quote=Anonymous]I was a kid in the 70's, daily baths for the kids and daily showers for mom and dad. My grandma also bathed every day, she took a bath every day at 6 am and was fully dressed before anyone else was up. She was born in 1902 and always lived in NE cities-not sure if she bathed daily as a kid-doubt it, she was one of 5 siblings-never thought to ask. I lived in Europe in the very early 90's and my aunt there (then in her early 50's) bathed once a week. Remember they also have bidets and actually use them. She would tell me that bathing every day would take away the natural oils and dry out my skin. Never encountered the shared bath water there. In Japan they still do the shared bath water but it is only for soaking. People wash with soap separately and then soak in the hot tub one by one. Mom goes last. [/quote]
