It seems like every person born before 1980 has a baby photo of them being bathed in a kitchen sink and I have a theory that most of it stopped when people got dishwashers and realized it was a much more convenient way to clean their children.
AlicePaulMy family had a full-size portable top loader dishwasher in the 60’s. When not in use it was stored in a closet across the hall from the kitchen.
When it was rolled out, we kids would scatter to avoid doing dishes. Now I realize I’ve been misremembering all these years—we didn’t want a bath.
