Do Kids Need a Bathtub?
When I took to social media to ask my friends and colleagues about my bathtub dilemma, several parents chimed in to say that a home absolutely needs a bathtub, even if you don’t take baths yourself, because it’s essential for bathing young children. Realtor Deborah Lopez was one of the first to comment, saying, “As your real estate agent, I implore you to include a bathtub in your remodel!” The case seemed settled since, even though my husband and I don’t take baths, it would hurt our resale if we didn’t have one for future prospective buyers, especially those with young children.But then a funny thing happened. I started getting messages from friends with kids who have managed to live just fine without a bathtub. I decided to chat with a few of them about going sans tub.
