And i don't mean use it to water the plants- I mean get into a tub of water after someone else was done with it? It seems to be common in some parts of the world. It would save a ton of water. I put my kids together in the same tub, and I might get in the water with them or after them, but that would be my limit, I think.

I have been enjoying reading novels by Katie Fforde lately, and a lot of her characters reuse bath water. Hmm...

I bathe the middle 2 together and then add some more water for the older 2. So yes, in a way I am re-using the water.

Yup, I would after the 3 year old. Just add some hot water.
Now normally I would think it gross to bath after anyone else, but my hubby in the past has yelled at me for starting to empty my still hot water after a quick bath, when he has wanted to jump in after work.

I guess it just depends...Most of the time I say no, but there are times I guess I do hop in after them or the kiddos after me.

Any bath that I manage to get (I usually take showers) gets invaided by my daughter. So I usually just finish up her bath right then and there. So yes we are re-using.
