Last night my DH was bathing DD (3) and DS (8mo). We have recently started bathing them together now that DS can sit up confidently in the bath. DD did a wee in the bath (DH had forgotten to put her on the toilet prior to bath). Now to my mind, DH should have quickly bathed both children, rinsing them off (especially DS) in a bit of clean water, and washed their faces in clean water too. What DH actually did was tell DD not to tell me , and then kept them in the bath splashing and playing for another 10 mins. He also washed them in the water too (couldn't bear to ask if he'd washed DS's face in the wee water!!!!). Whilst DH was changing DS, I came upstairs and asked DD if she needed a wee, she said she didn't cos she'd had one in the bath. I then caught DH later telling DD not to tell tales on him!

Anyway, DH is so sure that he is in the right that HE asked me to ask on MN if IABU to be annoyed about the whole thing. He thinks that as urine is sterile (apparently?) there's no problem and I was getting het up about nothing. I know I have a tendency towards being overly hygienic, so am starting to doubt myself.

What do you think?

Some anti-eczema creams have urea in them, it's good for the skin. Having said that when my kids were young enough to bathe together I'd put those old enough on toilet/potty before letting them in the bath.
I always have a wee before getting in the bath, otherwise you want to go the moment you get in.
It's not harmful though, just not very nice.
