DH and I are usually pretty much on the same wave length with most things however we just can't seem to agree on this point and would value some input - I have explained that I would post on here too and then we could discuss responses
DD is 7 with pretty long hair (think just below the middle of her back) - when it comes to bath time, I always run her bath and wash her hair before leaving her to wash herself and get herself out etc...
DH had a chat with me the other week and said he felt DD should be washing her own hair now. I listened and tried to support DD with washing her hair - explained what she needed to do, sat with her whilst she did it, showed her how to do it but every time without fail her hair would dry and be full of dandruff and look greasy. DH also thinks she should be running her own bath now. I personally think she is still young and doing a lot for herself (she washes herself, dries herself, gets new pyjamas out, empties the bath, tidies her towels etc...) and I don't want her running her own bath because in my opinion she is too young and would worry about her burning herself and I don't think she is too old to still be having me support with washing her hair.
So I'm completely ready to be told I'm unreasonable and more than happy to hear what you currently go with your DDs re baths?
YABU - DD should be running her own baths and washing her hair herself
YANBU - DD shouldn't be running her own baths and I should support her with washing her hair
