to want to have my DS in the shower with me?

[dolldaggabuzzbuzz]

Each morning DS has a shower with either myself or DH. Dh says it is time he had a shower on his own as he is now 2 years old. I think he is just a baby and we should still be washing him. AIBU?

Insomnia - BooBoo was my Mum's word for a bogey when I was small! Couldn't keep a straight face watching Yogi Bear I can tell you!

i say booboo although now theyre 11,10 and 5-they say hurt or banged,bashed etc (just me that hasnt grown up!)

My DCs are 5 and 3, and when we do shower them, it's with either DH or me...I can't see that changing any time soon...they are okay at washing themselves, but still need a little bit of guidance.
I suppose it depends on how comfortable you are with being naked around your DCs. DH and I have never made a huge deal about nudity; when DCs start to express any kind of embarrassment or the desire to be a bit more private at bathtimes, we will certainly honour that.
I love that they are still at the age when we do 'family' baths and showers...it's the best part of our day, and I know I'll be sad when they decide they need to be on their own.

We used to do the same up til DD was about 4. Theres nothing wrong with it and showers can be slippy etc

YANBU. I always bath or shower with my DS (almost 3.) It saves time, effort and water, and since I usually get soaked from his splashing anyway I may as well be in there with him!

Hmmmm i suspect dh is missing his good morning wank.

lola

My son is two / nearly 3 and always showers on his own. He is very mature and very independant. Depends on the child but stay with him

My 2 year old is terrified of the shower, so that let's me out.

Loves the bath though!

SIL still used to shower with her DS when he was 11. That did make me feel a bit nauseous tbh, but I think as long as the child is under about 7, and the mother isn't having her period, there's nothing to worry about.

mumbling i dont get your point! I said either way i dont see what the problem is, the child is 2yrs old!

I was pointing out to OP that her dh might be having a problem with "being naked" infront of child as opposed to child showering by himself.

GPWM lola!

Lol i was thinking the same lola, either that or ds has given the family jewels a good eye watering tug!

I remember my ds doing it to dh when he propped his leg on the side of the bath to dry himself!

I sometimes have either (or both, but it gets a bit crowded) boys in shower with me. Saves water.

They are 4 and 6.

Are the rules on "showering with children" different to "sharing bath"?

DD1 still showers with me - she's 7. Cattleprod - I don't get your reference to not sharing a shower when I'm having my period??

DS has just turned 7 and sometimes he still showers with me usually just so I can wash his hair. It saves time and we have a laugh while doing it. I always say there comes a time when it just dosen't feel right Probably within the next 2 years I would say. But we are a household that has no body issues or hangups.

BTW OP YANBU your DH obviously has issues of some kind because 2 is defintely not old enough to shower on his own.

My boys - 3 & 5 - still shower with me. It's a double shower, I'm under one shower rose and they get the other to share. The 5yo can wash himself, the 3yo is too lazy still needs help sometimes.

At 2 they were definitely too young to be in there alone.

Am amazed at this - worrying about tiny children and nudity! We only have one bathroom in the house and, on a busy morning, we all leap into the shower in turn with one person drying themselves next to the bath whilst someone is in the shower. My DSs are well used to seeing me in the shower. I kept waiting for that moment when they showed or expressed embarrassment at seeing me naked or me seeing them....

... it's never happened yet and they are 18 and 21!

Maybe, I should be embarrassed - but no-one is by nudity in this household.

We don't get in together though, not since they were very young!

we don't have a shower which I think are awkward and dangerous for little ones, but even with bathing I have never shared a bath with any of the Dcs, even when they were tiny. Just not for me. My bath time is my time, not anyone else's. must admit I'm a bit uncomfortable when friends with older Dcs - NOT little ones - but pre-teens and teens, talk about them coming into the bathroom for a chat or to use the toilet! when parent(s) are in the bath.
Probably my hang ups, as no doubt someone will point out, but its not for me

My 10 year old shared the shower with me last week (double shower, two heads). He is 10.

DD1 still showers with me - she's 7. Cattleprod - I don't get your reference to not sharing a shower when I'm having my period?

Seriously ? no idea at all? Some people might feel uncomfortable bleeding all over their kids feet. you must be one of these lucky women with light periods, I wouldn't do it to someone the same way I might be happy to have a wee in front of my child but wouldn't wee in the shower with them (not that i am normally a shower pee'er!).

He's TWO!

trust me I think he will need help in the shower a little while longer.

Is it nutty DH night here or something? I mean....even more so than normal

2! good grief, that's far too young. My DD is 6 and she showers with me or my DH. if she has a bath, one of us washs her hair (it's very long and she doesn't do a good job of it on her own - shampoo in eyes, conditioner not washed out etc). Your DH is BVU!
