    Baths now take hours......they involve a tablet...ipod and cell phone.  Music coming from the bathroom and singing.  

    I like a happy kid.

    :)) I read the thread title and thought, "May God have mercy on your soul." But it turned out to be quite pleasant.

    @sidsmommy3 Well, my mom and sister get chronic UTIs, so I know all the tricks. (I'm the lucky duck that just got small feet and no ass. :) )

    My first thought was sympathy lol 
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    @WickedDunkieJunkie....tablet doesn't actually go in the tub...she puts a towel over the side and leans on it...tablet is on the rug outside the tub.

    I kind of freaked about that.
