To still bath my dc together

[notnow2]

They are ds1 7, ds2 6 and Dd3. They have fun still and it is quicker.

why ever not, sounds fun

DS1 (8) and DS2 (6) still bath together!

YANBU - they'll tell you when they don't want to anymore. My ds is 8 and still likes to get in the bath with me

I think as long as they are all happy with it, what's the harm?

What makes you think you are being unreasonable?

I thought it was Ds- 17 yrs!

If yabu then so am I! Mine refuse to bath separately!

Mine only stopped bathing together aged 8 and 10! And they both still bath with their toddler brother, in fact they fight over whose turn it is! When they were little we'd sometimes all four get in the bath together ??

I'd bath them together until one asks to be bathed alone.

I stopped it at 3&4 when they started squabbling and sloshing water everywhere -they weren't pleased but could stop bickering so I divided and conquered

mine (8 and 4) still go in together most nights
it's about the only time of day they play nicely together
i'll stop when one of them suggests it

Only thing stopping us is that the bath isn't big enough!

mine are 6 and 2 i bath together as they both hate the water and this way i only get one headache! when they are good they are very good (and noisy) when they are bad they are just plain LOUD (pity my neighbors)

Ds1 now prefers to bath alone, but I think that is more to do with ds2 being a bit full on in the bath (splashing etc) but will on occasion still bagh with them (dd 3 as well). YANBU.

As long as the kids still happy with it then no issue. Bet they love it as well.

My Ds (7) asked if he could go in the bath with me tonight..I said no on the grounds there isn't enough room and I get disturbed enough when I am in the bath with the obvious urgency for the toilet.

Nothing wrong with siblings bathing together so long as they are all happy with it.

no problem with them all bathing together, I mean do u really want the hassle of 3 baths?
as long as they are all happy its absolutely fine
mine all love a bath together-even if they do soak the bathroom!

Don't worry OP - my DC 9 and 7 are only just starting to say (occasionally) that they'd like a bath on their own - more so that they can stretch out than for modesty's sake.

DD gets a bit self conscious sometimes if DS happens to come into her room when she's changing, but somehow they don't think being naked in the bath together is odd.

I'm happy either way - if they want to bathe on their own they can, but if they bathe together I'm happy as it cuts down on hot water and the time it takes to get them both to bed!

I'll take it at their pace - the longer they're not self conscious about their bodies, the better IMO

I think it's fine they are also the same sex so fair enough

Agree they'll tell you although my parents bathed us together too long for my liking. Girls can get more uncomfortable with communal bathing than boys

I wouldn't, but then I felt uncomfortable bathing with my brother when I was quite young- about 6. I didn't know how to articulate that I wanted privacy at that age so I don't tend to assume.

I'm probably prudish but there's no way I'd bath with my son (8.)

My three are 7, 5, and 2 and still bath together most nights. The older two sometimes have a shower but that's as much to do with the youngest needing an emolient in the bath as anything. I think it's a case of follow what the children want, I bathed with my younger siblings until I was 9, my nephew was much younger than that when he didn't want to bath with my kids any more.

My kids bathe together, DD7, DDalmost6 and DS3. If they are having a 'no hair wash' bath then they'll all go in together. If it's a hair wash night then I tend to do them separately in the bath or one of us will have a shower and the kids will join us one by one (the eldest and youngest have very thick hair so it's hard to rinse out in the bath).
The only time they ask to bathe separately is if they want to be mermaids! Obviously there's not enough room to do this if all three are in the bath.

There's no bodily self-consciousness with any of them yet - at least not with each other or us. When I take the girls swimming they get changed in the communal area of the ladies' changing room. They don't have a problem with this, or showering afterwards, but if there's someone DD7 knows from school there too then she sometimes gets a bit shy. I guess it's all part of growing up and being subjected to other people's perceptions of nudity. We've always been quite open about nudity - DH and I will often sleep naked and wander about upstairs with no clothes on in the mornings or after a shower. I had quite bad hang ups about my body growing up (as a result of an abusive stepfather) and I have tried very hard to not pass these on to my own children.

Iv banished my 7 year old from the bath until iv washed his younger siblings as its way too messy as he splashed more than the younger ones combined.

DS1 got all shy at 8 but DS2 and 3 bathed together until DS2 was 10, then they were just too big both fit. If they are happy I can't see the problem.

YANBU, as other posters say, they will likely indicate to you when they want it on their own. My older DD started having them on her own but ended up missing her sister, so she has some time on her own then shouts her sister for a splashabout.
