Too old to share a bath?

[Pinkfranny]

Inspired by another thread it has got me thinking…at what age are siblings too old to share a bath?

My DS is almost 8 and DD is 3, they occasionally still share a bath and like playing together. They are always fully supervised.

I always ask them if they would like to share or have separate baths and respect their decision. I expected that my DS would perhaps soon start asking for a bath on his own but should I insist on solo baths already 🤷‍♀️

I think I'm old fashioned but for me it would depend if they're the same sex. If opposite sex I wouldn't be happy with that for my kids at a much younger age (I think probably when they start primary). If same sex, then no age limit as long as they're comfortable.

That's just my opinion though and I know I sit quite far along the old-fashioned/socially conservative end of the spectrum

I think that’s fine although I haven’t read the other thread on it. I’d take my cue from kids.

My 10 yr old will sometime bath with my 2 yr old if she wants him to, but he chooses to wear swimming trunks.

As long as both children are happy it's fine. With such a big age gap, especially, I can't see a problem. I wouldn't be worried about a three year old being naked around immediate family, regardless of the sexes involved.

So long as they’re comfortable I’d say it’s fine. Presumably you’re there supervising so what’s the problem?

Take the lead from them, I feel it’s fine as long as they’re happy. For mine actually fitting in the bath together got to be an issue but also the older two stopped wanting/needing the routine of a nightly bath, so it tailed off naturally.

I think it depends on what your daughter wants. I guess @ 3 it's difficult but she'll express an opinion soon. Thinking about it, I wouldn't have wanted a boy to see me there, bro or not. But that's me!
