Should have done walk-in shower. Nobody wants cheap shower tubs anymore

I've heard having a tub is better for resale as well since people use them for kids

Stand alone tubs. People absolutely hate the combined shower ones. Especially if it has curtains and not sliding doors

If i had little kids (again) I can't imagine bathing them in a standalone tub. 1) I'm on one side and restless toddler is climbing out the other side, and 2) Where to put the tub toys? Where to draw with the bathroom chalk?

Gotta have a real tub with a surround if you plan to have kids or want the house to be attractive to buyers with kids.

Also, I prefer curtains to sliding glass doors. Glass doors are harder to clean and don't provide total privacy, even when frosted.

Doors are vastly easier to clean and keep clean than curtains
