I think that my wife and I actually consider that every night at the moment. Maybe if i show her the pic she will realize that people actually do it. maybe not?
That’s a riot! Now if you can fill both sides of the sink with dirty dishes and dangle the baby from the ceiling (while using the hand-held hose sprayer to clean the baby), you would be closer to our house!
I just installed an extra large, extra deep “siligranit” sink in my newly remodeled kitchen. I was thinking I might need to bathe in it when I can no longer use the stairs-but now that you show a BABY in there, that’s another whole idea!!
I’m just glad I’m not the only one! I did it with twins. But, I promise I won’t tell my mother on you. She’s had enough to process with my great ideas. I wouldn’t want to rock her world any more than it already is. Fun stuff, fun stuff…
This is great! I come from a long line of baby sink-bathers, so it never seemed odd to me. Boy was I amazed at the number of people who looked at me like I had two heads when they saw me bathe my kid in the sink! I figure that the average child is grubbier than the average sink anyway. And, the sink was easier on my back that kneeling by the tub.
Now, the key is, to teach the KID to wash the dishes while they are bathing!!!! Excellent pic!
Considered it? I washed them in the kitchen sink all the time! But I must admit, I took all the dishes out of the other side and moved the dish soap out of reach.
Now that I think about it, I kept my sink a lot cleaner when I had toddlers, because it got a quick scrub before every bath. Nothin’ grosser than vegetable bits in your bath water.

This is too funny! Thanks for the smile.
That is really cute BUT my defensive mom gene kicked in too quickly and now all I can see is that the baby’s hand is RIGHT next to a cheese grater.
Although – if it is anything like our cheese grater it is probably so dull that it is not truly dangerous.
Too funny!

Wait a minute – you mean everyone doesn’t do this?
My mother used this technique & look how I turned out. Doesn’t work so well with a dishwasher.
Multitasking at its finest!

I actually have done that…. but I took the dishes out first
As a parent, I immediately spot: knives, cheese grater, cleaning chemicals.
Don’t worry, I still think it’s funny!
OH ! MY ! GAWD ! SAVE THE DUCK !!! SOMEBODY CALL FEMA !!
