I need at least one long, hot, bath a day. If I can stay in an hour and a half I will, but 45 mins is doable.
Someone said, it's the only way to be alone....and it's true.
I like to think of it as a hydrotherapy squeeze "machine". The pressure of the water on my body soothes me.
also, my kid never lets me wash his hair. If it's short, a rinse in the bath a couple times a week can work out, looking satisfactory. But now, at 8 with his long hair he never washes...dredlocks here we come. He claims that he can't handle the feeling of soap in his ears so he wont allow his hair to be washed.
It makes sense with an AS lens. I think I traumatized him getting water in his ears as a baby.
