"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"

"Don't do as I do..do as I say"

Carol
do you know where the saying comes from don't throw the baby out with the bath water

in the days when they had a tin bath  the father got in first then all the family down the line and by the time it came to baby the water would be very dirty  therefore the saying!!

"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"

Carol

This is also a German saying:

das Kind mit dem Bade ausgießen

i.e. the baby is valuable but the bath water is not.
