A current obsession of little to no importance
Grrrr can’t decide on a baby bathtub. Isn’t that pathetic???
I think the problem I run into with these small things is that I didn’t have a baby shower so I have waaaaay too much time to hem and haw about what to buy. Its a little insane when you are talking about a $25 item. Like who cares already! Buy 2 and shut up. (I imagine that is Matthew’s inner dialogue as he is too nice to tell his pregnant wife to hurry up regarding a decision that is so completely life changing, obviously)
We walked into the scary baby superstore a few weeks ago and walked out with this:
That place is so overwhelming and I needed alot so I didn’t want to linger on something so boring. Seemed to make sense - its smooshy and it folds up. Yay.
Then I read some reviews on amazon.WHY? WHYWHYWHYWHY? and someone said you have to let out a bit of air to fold it which sounded a little too high maintenance for me. Plus there is zero support for the baby and I can see this situation leading to 2 parent baths which is a hell no. Honestly. So I started looking around and now I think I want this:
I like that there is some support for them to lay down as newborns and you can put it in the bathtub or on the counter, then when they get bigger they can sit up for a while without worrying about toys and stuff getting all over the bathtub. Its nice that its just all contained in the little tub. Right? RIGHT?? I mean we are talking about THIRTY-TWO DOLLARS. I obviously have to research the shit out of this investment.
Since almost every mom I know reads my blog I thought I’d ask around via a post. So lemme know. Is this bathtub stupid? What do you have? Do you love it/hate it/think baby tubs are stupid in general? I think I’ll just store it upside down in our tub, Is that what people do? It seems the easiest and most out of the way place.
