When did you leave your children unsupervised in the bath?

Just wondering about this, not sure when it’s deemed acceptable?

I don't sit there with my 5yo now but I do stay upstairs and talk to her while I'm sorting things in other rooms and pop in and out so I know what she's up to!

How old is your kid?

I nip in and out to load the washing machine which is in the utility right next to the bathroom. I can still seem them in the bath though and can be back in seconds, when I'm in the utility. Wouldn't do it otherwise! Kids are 4 and almost 2 and have baths together.

Beyond that, it won't be for a very long while I think. When they've learnt to swim/know to hold breath/breathe out under water (they've just started swimming lessons), I might feel a bit easier about it.

Four and two. I’m like a PP and nip in and out.

I think that’s too young, mostly the 2 year old. There’s no hard or fast rule though
