I am from a generation where one bucket is dedicated the man of the house ( father) and nobody is allowed to use it for whatsoever reasons. You only had to fill it with water when it was his time to bath.
You have carry the bucket of water to the bathroom, then return for the sponge and soap container with his towel.
After everything is set, you return to inform him that everything is set. You have to wait around until he's done.
He only comes out with the towel around his waist, clapping his slippers on the ground heading straight to the room. Now you have to go back for the bucket and hang the sponge to dry. You then turn the bucket back upside down to indicate that it is not for public use.
This is how we were trained to serve.
We come from home indeed proud 80s born. Who are you and your husband, father and mother finished from bathroom and you asking him or her about the backed out of your tank.
