I'm drawing plans to build our new home and hubs thinks we need a tub in the guest bath but I disagree and think a big shower would be better. Yet he's the one who showers most of the time. And he's never cleaned a tub even when he's used it, so he doesn't realize what a pain it is to clean.

My points are: shower are easier to clean, easier to take too. Besides, I always shower when I'm a guest at someone's home, doesn't everyone?
