obviously at the moment its fine as ds is 4 and dd is 2. i like it as it saves water and time but it cant go on forever can it?! i mean i know they wont be bathing together when theyre teenagers but when is it ok to do it till do you think? or does it not matter?

Like parental nudity, I think they'll make clear when they're not happy with it any more. I expect it's a few years away - puberty?

I was wondering this the other day when our 9 and 5 yr olds were happily bathing together. ds is getting a bit too tall for it to be comfy for much longer !

When one of them feels uncomfortable with it

I remember quite clearly at the age of about 11 deciding that I didn't want to share with my brother anymore (he was 2 years younger). They'll suddenly reach an age when one of them, usually the eldest, will become embarrassed about his/her body. Until then, don't really see the problem as long as they can both still fit in there!

My dd is 11 and she usually has a shower in the mornings now and considers herself far too old and sophisticated to bathe with her 6 year old brother. That is, unless she is walking past and he seems to be having a particularly good time, the she's in there like a shot! Like a` lot of these issdues, I think it's their call!

STopping about now. ~DS7, dd5. They spend too much time trying to fondle each other's bits. And they dont' fit in bath together very well, anyway. They think it's hillarious, DS actively encourages DD, etc.

Can still bathe DD and DS2 together, they aren't so inquisitive.

Ds (10) and dd (2 1/2) share the bath once in a while. DD sees it as a great treat and ds secretly enjoys it too!! They amuse each other for ages
