to think people who don't bath/wash their DCs every night are lazy?

[BigMommaOf4]

I am shocked by the amount of people on here who state that they only bathe/wash their DCs once or twice a week. OK bad cases of excema accepted, I just think that's soooo lazy. No one IRL I know leaves it that long so is it just a peculiar Mumsnet trait because they are too busy MNing?

DTS1 has excema btw, I just cover him in an emollient before he gets in the bath and it does not exercerbate it.

I mean, come on, babies and toddlers in nappies, older Dcs not very efficient at bum wipeing - how can people leave them to fester for days?

In the 'olden days' when tin baths had to be got out and water boiled in a copper pot, obviously it was not possible every day but nowadays that's not the case.

Also my DCs love RELAXING in the bath/shower. It's not only for cleanliness. They love feeling warm, clean and comfortable before getting into bed. Even my 12 week old starts getting excited just from me taking him upstairs of an evening because he knows he's going in the bath and he adores it.

Do all these people, who only bath their DCs twice a year, have a bath/shower every day themselves? Bet they do! Feel sorry for the poor DCs.

surely the paddling pool counts a bath if a bucket infront of the telle does

What am I, the MN post police? Am I supposed to comment on every single MN post I find unpleasant? I thought yours was particularly hurtful BBB, not only for the OP but also for women reading who might be feeling bad about their weight.

Don't see any indication of it being in jest. Don't forget written words don't transmit facial expressions or tone of voice.

OK apologies, and point taken. I withdraw the "loon" part of the comment (but not the rest).

I feel bad about my weight too having just had a baby!!! it was a joke, ok in bad taste but I don't deserve to be told to fuck off and called a loon!!!!

YABVVU and showing off at the same time - how impresssive

Dc's have a bath most nights, not tonight though, I must be a lazy cow [grin ]

If you don't wish to get into a fracas, posting in AIBU is inadvisable BBB.

As for the OP, do fuck off, there's a dear.

Oh I thought someone had told the OP to fuck off in another post.

Well, don't worry too much about it BBB, OP certainly hasn't been back to complain. Lesson learned I hope, it certainly didn't come across as a joke to many of us. Intentions can be misread so easily on the internet.

Either you are a namechanger who should know better about personal attacks BadBettyBlue or you are a newbie and needs to learn that wether or not we agree with the OP the mn collective doesnt like personal attacks. To make one is to garantee to upset people.

Now the question is if i could be arsed to compare your posting history with the OP's will I see a time when the two of you are posting together?

My Dc's shower each morning. Sunday Dd has a bath and hairwash, though not yesterday as I'm lazy I didn't have time.

nope researching for my spreadsheet [hwink]

I hope OP is on metered water; ...giving 4 DC a bath every night.

If your DC smell so bad OP, how about a quick shower; or you learn how to use wipes/flannels properly?

Concentrate on brushing their teeth properly, twice a day, instead.

Never mind all those 'poor DCs', I feel sorry for you, OP; the fact that you have nothing better to do than write volumes of such inane twattery.
Time that could be better used bathing your kids, surely?
Your post brings sanctimonious onto an entirely different level. Pitiful, really.

Ha, we don't even own a bath!

Two cats and a dog already that love giving a clean to the dc!!!!

Now that is lazy!

God i don't even know how often DS gets bathed/showered - what a total lazy sod I am! Never mind that it is extremely stressful, including teeth brushing. But I tell you something, he nearly always looks like he has stepped out of a catalogue - no idea how that one happens!!

maxybrown is he wearing Boden?

I had to check my profile then phew, only a pic of him as a baby - and naked, god knows id he'd been bathed or not before that was taken

Maxybrown, gorgeous boy you have; don't ruin his skin by bathing every night!!

(Did you brush his teeth?

Love your camper van, by the way...
