My son is eating potato chips in the bathtub.

You're okay until he starts trying to add French Onion Dip Mix into the bathwater.

Why is that slovenly? You are containing all the mess to one easy-to-clean area. You can just hose off the little bastard when he's done, too.
I think it's brilliant and that more parents should adopt this strategy. In fact, I think all children should be forced to eat every meal in the tub. I really can't see this causing any serious psychological damage, can you? All those photos and videos that depict children with food smeared all over their faces, and especially those dealing with spaghetti and tomato sauce -- simply disgusting. I do not find them amusing, adorable or entertaining in any way whatsoever. If I had a child who was a messy eater I'd just hook up a feeding tube into his nose and be done with it. |

Do you have the radio plugged in next to the tub, in his grubby little reach?
And if you plan to electrocute him you might as well throw your meat in the tub so you don't have to cook it. |

How old is he and what is the probability that he will poop in the tub?
|

As long as he doesn't use the poop as dip.

Well, they call it cow dip, so why not person dip?

Cow dip? That's new to me. Sure you're not thinking of cow chip, NTA?

I'm anxiously awaiting summer so I can be more slovenly. Kids in swimsuits all day means less laundry, and meals and snacks by and/or in the pool means
less clean-up!

so's the child now - I'm not sure we had color photographs when I was a child. I know there were color slides, but I'm not sure about photos

I bought one of those Cynthia Rowley Whim! mojito mixers that you add rum and water to, and then freeze in the bucket. I got the pear mojito one. I am
puckering it is so tart.
