to be unreasonable about this??

[mummy1986]

Hi not sure if i am in the right place, but i just wanted an unbiased opinion really. My DD comes home from her daddys yesterday and says he got in the bath with her. She's just 5 and asks LOTS of questions!
AIBU to not want her in the bath with him, even though it's her dad?

i just said previously :)

Yes you are being over protective. My partner is the same he wont have a bath with our 2 year old daughter because he doesnt like it. She gets in with my dad (her grandad) and my mum (her nan) and loves it. Mind you saying that my dd probably wouldnt fit in with my parnter as hes 6'6 and has a tiny bath

That also baffled me as he is a big bloke and his bath is very small!

I don't understand why it being wierd would be a reason to not want her to do it.

If she hadn't liked it, or you thought it was unhygenic, or there was some other negative you thought was attached to her bathing with him, then I could understand you at least having a concern. You might or might not be correct in your reason, but at least there would be a concern.

But to not want your daughter to do it simply because it's novel to you? Is it possible you need to try and seperate you and your daughter in your mind a little? Or, despite your claims above, do you actually have some unspoken, niggling concerns about his parenting?

Ahh sorry. x-post.

It's fine, my bastard ExH used to bath with our DD and it was not a problem.

My DP sometimes baths or showers with our DD or our DS.

I would have a problem if he thought it was ok to bath or shower with my DD1, age 17, but I guess she is old enough to object too.

EmmelineGoulden I do question his parenting alot of the time!
But not about anything horrific, just silly things that i don't approve of, but its his time and not upto me what they do with it.
I accepted that along time ago.

What does x-post mean?

It means you posted just after someone else...and maybe said the same thing...or asked a question which they had just answered.

thank you
