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.
smells of bikes@Alice Same but that's when drive-through car washes became popular
The Lady (La Donna)
Lisa Quilty Hill@Alice born 1970, no photos of me being bathed in the kitchen sink.
I must say your post is hilarious!
@Quilty Ooh! Your parents must have been early adopters of the dishwasher!
@Alice actually my parents never had a dishwasher, my dad always said he had four dishwashers. Me and my brothers. Yes he knew he was hysterical. 🙄😂
Pseudo Nym@pseudonym @Alice I had plenty of dog and cat bathes too. 🤣🤣🤣
Oliver Schönrock@pseudonym @Quilty @Alice
ditto no kitchen sink photos
there is a pic of me in a bucket in the garden though..
saves water?

@grum999 Oh my gosh this is so cute!
Brian Kammer 🇺🇦@Alice @donmelton Uses less water too.
Rupert 🇪🇺🏴☠️😾🔭📷🍺🍪🌍🔥@Alice saves time undressing if you use the washing machine
Robin Stephenson@rupertcutler @Alice also that has a window, unlike the dishwasher
Mr.Frezzie@Alice good one
Bike Enby@Alice Sinks got smaller I'm sure. My grandparents sink is blooming massive. You can fit the big saucepan for batch cooking like 10 servings in there, plus a few other bits.
The sink in the modern build I live in, washing that pan is a 3 stage process
Dr Alice Violett@Alice born in '88 but my parents are quite old-fashioned and still don't have a dishwasher. My dad has suggested it on occasion, only for my mum to shut him down 😄
@alicemcalicepants This is so adorable!
I love how this toot is going around again. The photo is also a brilliant example of how incredibly brown everything was in the 80s.

Jordan Warshavsky@Alice @donmelton so wait… that’s legit? Just toss em in with the Tupperware and add some J&J no more tears!?!?
I have been doin’ wrong this whole time!
No wonder my 17yo gets so pissed when I toss her in the sink…
Richservo @Alice When did garbage disposals become popular?
Rufus T Firefly@Alice
Dishwashers are very handy, but the babies get restless waiting for them to fill up.

Dayatsea@Alice actually it was the clothes washer/dryer.

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.
John Robinson@Alice Sink! Sink! You think we could afford a sink! We had to wait until it rained and we could use the puddles.
Adam Millerchip@johnelalamo Puddles?! You were lucky! We had to roll around in gravel untill t'dirt rubbed off.
Scott Knowles@Alice Family never owned camera except when Dad had USAF camera for two years in Puerto Rico (1947-48). He only took photos of his travels and their friends and family, but rarely us kids. I acquired some after he died.
My name is Gloria Actually@Alice was born in 1980 can confirm
Efi (nap pet) 🦊💤@Alice always hated the dishwasher, it's like 20 minutes without breathing AND THEN it smells awful
Durran Durrandon@Alice Don't recommend. The abrasive particles in dishwasher detergent will wear down the protective coating on a baby's skin
Ben 🏳️🌈🇪🇺🇮🇪@Alice I can clearly remember it happening.
I think it ended with the stainless steel sinks.
Too small

John Batty 🦣Our boys were born in 1993 / 6. Unfortunately we did not acquire a dishwasher until 2007, so guess what? The sink it was.

Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️🌈@Alice will have to ask my Mom if she remembers where they bathed me as there's no photographic evidence. 😂 But they never bought into dishwashers so there's a chance. 👀
Irina@Alice Not a kitchen sink but an actual zinc tub.(Born in 1958.)
Inquisitor Palletack
Kiki@Alice I actually remember being bathed in a sink with a neighbour in her moms hour or mine? I guess we got dirty and it was easier to wash us quickly in the kitchen sink!
gojira@Alice Born in 1976, can confirm.
Arnan de Gans@Alice Probably, but the real reason the photos stopped is because there is no window in the dishwasher door.
Primo@Alice this post is the perfect amoubt of hinged.
Adam D@Alice my kid was born 2019 and we regularly bathed him in the kitchen sink, but we didn't take photos of him bathing...
sleepfreeparent@Alice nah it changed when people got garbage disposals in their sinks
Callalily@Alice
To my knowledge there are none of me in a kitchen sink. I didn't bathe any of mine in the sink either.

William@Alice what they don't tell you is that you're not meant to use the steel pot scourer
MarcusCSC@Alice not every house still has a dishwasher I bet the coverage is 85%
jprestonian@Alice
It seems like every person I follow is going to boost this toot, perhaps until the heat-death of the universe.

R@Alice alternatively, garbage disposals became more popular...
Coyoty@Alice I had to hold the tableware to save time and water.
Soozcat@Alice Whereas kids born a few years ago went straight into the sous vide cooker

“Your baby has gone down the plug-hole
Your baby has gone down the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
It should have been washed in a jug
Your baby is ever so happy
He won’t need a bath any more
Your baby has gone down the plug-hole
Not lost but gone before.”

Well, YEAH. I mean, how the hell do YOU clean your children?
Technology is our friend. And there's a lot less mess left to clean up (ie: poop) in a functional dishwasher.
If you're already on board with this, meaning I have misinterpreted your post, please disregard this, with my apology
