Also, it's pretty normal in plenty of places to fill a bathtub and have the entire family use the water, even keeping it for multiple days. Meanwhile the US/Canada is like "eww gross!" while a five person house over here uses literally a swimming pool's worth of bathing water per day.

huh. Is that actually "unsanitary", or is it just BS? I have heard some people call that 'unsanitary'.

Individualism at it's finest.

It's obviously not as sanitary as taking individual showers, but I feel like in terms of your family, it's less of a problem if you already live together and you're related. If someone gets really filthy or sick or something else happens, they should probably take an individual shower, but I feel that general day to day sweat is of minimal problem, again, if you already live in the same house.
