because she did not trust her husband.

submission thus, “I absolutely trust my husband but I won’t take chances and
have him bathe my daughter because whether we like it or not, there is
something flying in the air these days that is encouraging imbalance and
immoralities. I actually trust my husband but I’m just being careful because
people that have experienced this kind of situation also trusted their husbands
yet it happened.”

successfully bathed their daughters at different times while others asked what
would happen if the wife is not a home. More so, others challenged her that it
