The episode you tell about your shift in the bathroom is very funny, but it makes me curious to know if they weren't embarrassed that men and women bathed together? Here in my culture that is rare and is even taken as a taboo, even though they are family.
Having a large family helped you be more active and more sociable, those were skills that were difficult for me to obtain because my family nucleus was only 3 people, but just as you say, each family has its challenges.
I hope you continue enjoying a beautiful family, I send you my regards.
No, men and women didn't bathe together, my cousins brother took one bathroom to bathe while my cousins sister took another bathroom to bathe.
Yes, having a large family helped us be more active.
Amen, thank you.
