Wht age is too old to be bathing with your kids?

My working pattern means I finish late so when I get home from work it is easier to bath DD with me. DD is 5. My sister also bathes with her Ds who is also 5. Should I be bathing her separately now even though she is happy with this arrangement and generally goes to bed on time as a result?

Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Until there's no room in the bath for you to splash!

Depends on the size of your bath

We have a huge bath. It fits 2 adults easily. I am just worried people may think its a bit odd.

My 8 year old ds occaisionaly gets in with me and probably will do until he decides to stop, I'm sure it'll be sooner rather than later. I certainly don't envisage him wanting to join me when he's 13.

I don't bath w/my kids.

I mostly shower, but when I do bathe, it's with lovely oils or foam, candles, wine and a good book.

I wish I had a huge bath

Thank god for that! Lol - I don't have visitors in my bathroom apart from the odd HUGE spider (eeek!) but saw the thread on being naked in front of kids and this is kind of a follow on from that. Most of my friends don't have kids so I knew I could get advice from you kind bunch!
