How often do you bathe children?

My own children have always had a bath each night as part of bedtime routine but now I have 2 foster children also to care for. By the time they have got home from school, had contact (4 times a week) and eaten their meal there isn’t much time left for a bath before bed. Especially as there is 1 bathroom and now 5 children using it.

I’m wondering if I can separate bath nights so they are not all having a bath on the same night to make life easier and get a better bedtime but how often would you think is ok? I was thinking foster children bath on the 3 days they don’t have contact each week and my children on 3 of the days they do have contact. Is this often enough?

I bathe mine everyday, they're 5 and 3, seemingly that's not normal!! They're always sticky and stuff at the end of the day.. they love playing in the bath!
