We are on our first camping trip, it's just for the weekend. The logistics of the bathhouse has been the most mysterious part for me. We have 2 children 4y and 1y and I didn't know until we got here that there were just showers, no baths. My kids are terrified of showers, I guess the water coming down from so high is overwhelming. Thankfully I brought bath wipes and it's just two nights, but they are used to nightly baths at home. I want to know how other people with little kids handle this part of camping. Thanks!

EDIT: wow this blew up very quickly. I wasn't looking to give my kids a bubble bath at the campground, I really just need a faucet low enough to not overwhelm them the way a high shower head does. I stand my kids up in the tub for their baths so we're halfway there. My plan going forward is to bring an extra storage tub to fill in the bathhouse and bathe them that way until they're okay with the shower head. And I'll always bring bath wipes as backup. They've worked out really well this weekend.

I (36F) got laid off from my tech job 3 years ago which ended up being a blessing as we realized our household runs so much more smoothly with one parent not working paid employment. We had one child at the time and have since had a second child. We're done having kids. I got cancer (boooooo) and am 3 months into a year of treatment and am expected to make a full recovery. Husband (36M) recently got laid off from his fancy tech job and was feeling stressed from my health situation and work. This layoff feels like a blessing as well. We have enough cash savings to cover a full year of expenses including our nanny and Cobra. We have just over 500k in investments but it's mostly 401k and traditional IRA with a small Roth IRA, HSA and general investing account thrown in. I was toying with the idea of taking up to 10 years off full time work to spend time with our children while they are still young enough to want to spend time with us. It's something my husband often mentions wanting to do. And cancer really puts things into a different perspective. In that time we would experiment with starting a business with the hopes of creating one successful enough to eventually be making enough profit to build back up our finances. We're smart people so we should be able to make something happen. In ten years our older child would be a teenager and switching to wanting to spend less time with us so I envision a smooth enough transition to focusing more on our business. I'm planning to complete a self-directed MBA early on in this timeline so that we're not flying completely blind. Had started it when I was pregnant with #2. Either way I think the layoffs have burnt us out on paid employment in our industry so we're looking for a pivot. I'm really excited about this plan but the more I read the more I see the time being cut down by taxes from covering the 401k to traditional to Roth IRA and potentially high continued health insurance costs. Thoughts?
