Who would Rin bathe with, then? Daikichi is her only family at the moment. If they bathe together, it's because Rin either doesn't want to do it alone or Daikichi is afraid she would hurt herself or fail to properly wash herself.

i don't know why it is supposed to be weird?
not everyone is a pedophile
to be honest I would rather bath with her than to explain to her why I "shouldn't" :/

It's normal, not only in Japan, but in other Asian countries as well.
Peace.
I would imagine this is the most logical thing to do. What happens in the West then? Have the six year old child bathe herself?
I've been brought up with using a shower for water-saving reasons. I'm pretty sure I've been using that by myself since I was six.Originally Posted by miyama_ryu
No chance of drowning with a shower though.

Let's also not forget Rin is not a kid of a normal, happy, warm family. Despite her maturity, she still needs extra security and closeness to remain assured of not getting abandoned again. Not forcing her to become independent before she herself seeks it out is one way to achieve that, for now. Although sooner or later Daikichi would drop baths out of the things to do together, naturally.

Such a jolly episode. For some reason it's so nice to watch those two do mundane things, although a bit of extraordinary like the whole tree business spiced it up pleasantly. Kouki is also adding lots action to the otherwise surprise free life of those two. I also like his perpetual bored and unfriendly expression.
Kouki looked a lot like Daikichi when he was young standing next to his tree.
I wouldn´t mind a sudden twist where Daikichi and the milf die and Kouki and the show started focusing on Rin and Kouki going on adventures. Seriously, really great kid characters, which is rather rare.
But that's so NOT in the spirit of Usagi Drop.. I dunno how I'd accept that, lol.
I think this show tackles some relevant-to-life issues in a way that portrays it as a serious matter worth considering, yet allows us to laugh and arrive at a pleasing conclusion.
Things like how to treat an illegitimate child, the troubles of bringing up a kid (wetting their pants - do you yell.. or not?), addressing their worries, creating memories..
I think that's where the "extraordinary" lies in their normal "mundane" routine. (How many times have we seen them eat breakfast now?)
The one key thing that Daikichi has been very good at is to consider the feelings and intentions of people - particularly children. They're often palmed off with their opinions and reasons overlooked because "they're just a child". Yet he's still very stern when he needs to be.

That he does. Being stern creates some funny moments, because Rin is quite stern as well. That goes back and forth between them.

A bit darker and less comedic episode than the previous ones. Of course the story was from the beginning not only fluffy happiness and discovery but was also serving in plentiful servings all the problems families face. This was certainly an episode especially concentrating on that theme of the story.
Daikichi is seriously underestimating his own importance to Rin and how well he's managing. Or rather how well they both are managing all things considered.
The way Haruko treated her marriage was ridiculous. If you think of your husband as an enemy, get divorced asap. YOU decided to marry him, nobody forced you, girl.
Also, please have next episode about Daikichi and Milf marrying. That HAS GOT TO be happening.
Bah, she was just venting out a bit. Not saying she would have an ideal marriage, but people these days divorce far too easily. As if divorcing was equal to going to watch a movie. Even if she didn't have the aggravating situation of not having any means to support the kid, in any case Reina would end up living separated from her old man, and clearly she didn't hate him, quite the contrary. What they should do is to leave the fricking house of the husband's parents and get a place of their own, like a normal family (by western standards, har har). It's 100% guaranteed that would both set Haruko's mind at ease and also considerably heal her and the husband's relationship. The man is a loser for not doing that. Following your idea Haruko should tell him that it's a divorce unless they do.
I guess it comes back to the importance of marriage in itself. Like.. why endure all the emotional pain when you can just divorce an marry another person? That was the issue that I had pondered about a while back - what IS marriage? What is it that you're enduring all that hardship for?
A past promise? Why do you continue to honour it? Is it alright to dishonour it when you stop loving the other person?
If it's "because I married you", then is it just a stubborn pride? Just enduring to prove that you weren't a "failure" at marriage, and to continue your relationship with another person just because you're "someone of your word" regardless of whether yourself or the other person still wishes you to?
To draw a comparison, I completed my pharmacy degree, but never really felt anything for it throughout these past 4 years despite thinking it was a good choice at the time of choosing. What does it mean to complete this? Was it just for not wanting to be a "failure", for not "dropping out" or so I would never let anyone have the excuse to say I made a wrong decision? Perhaps it's exactly what Haruka was thinking this episode - "All the other alternatives seem to carry their risks. Might as well stick to this, I've already weathered through this many years of it, right?"
I guess what I'm saying is, weathering through marriage is undeniably good and all if we know that at the end of the journey, you'd be happy. But that's not something we'd ever know - so how does one decide whether you will see light at the end of the tunnel if you stick to your marriage, or if it's just going to prolong your misery?
Anyway, quite the thought provoking episode. It also showed that a lot of times kids DO know what's going on between parents, even if it's a feeling. They're hiding that from you, not the other way around.

If there are no children, I don't think much of a divorce. Of course it shows either bad judgement, hidden personality traits (psychosis at worst), or medical reasons to divorce at all, since by default it still should be a permanent deal, but if it's just the two people, neither really lose anything if it has already come to that. However, once the offspring appear, it's nothing but the parents' immaturity and selfishness, unless really aggravating circumstances appear, like domestic violence. The kids should be the parents' highest priority, not their own comfort. I don't think anybody sensible denies that having both (loving) parents is the ideal situation for a kid.
Like I said in my previous post, the only problem in that family is, with high probability, the husbands scumbag parents. Otherwise it seems like a pretty normal Japanese family, where the husband is rarely available due to working from the morning till the evening.
A funny yet touching scene where Daickichi was actually more unsecure than Rin, as he should be.
