Children: Delaney, 4 years old | Re: Father Daughter, Mother Son - bathing together | | I stopped bathing with my daughter when she was about 2 1/2. I stopped when she was old enough to ask questions about.... ummm... "it".

Children: Nichole | Re: Father Daughter, Mother Son - bathing together | | I think it depends on the child. My dd is 2 1/2 and I have not stopped. Now I guess it would be weird if DH bathed with her only because he never had before this period. But I would not think it odd if another dad did with their dd if that is what they were used it.
So if I had to pick an age, I would say 3 maybe 4. Again it depends a lot on the child |

Children: Two boys, Alexander (3) and Ryan (7 months) | Re: Father Daughter, Mother Son - bathing together | | Typically, my son bathes alone (with supervision, but not me in the tub), but occasionally I will bathe with him. He will be 3 in September. I figure I will stop bathing with him completely before he turns four. |

Children: Ryan 17, Sean 12, Landon 9, Kathleen 6 and Nathan 2. | Re: Father Daughter, Mother Son - bathing together | | I showered with my oldest son until he was about 4 1/2 and with the younger boys until they were about 3. My husband has never bathed with Kathleen, but only because he wasn't home during her bathtime until a couple of years ago. |

Children: One boy 8, twin girls 7. | Re: Father Daughter, Mother Son - bathing together | | I quit bathing with ds when he was around 3. I still bathe sometimes with the girls but they have to face away from me, usually it's when they are sick. I get in and help them wash their hair. |
