I can never have a bath on my own..lovely though it would be! My kids always seem to know when a bath is full as they make a bee line. So never get to have a bath alone if I have a bath. Sigh!... I mostly have showers as that way I get some peace and quiet. They never bother my Oh when he's in the bath.

I have a son and daughter. He is 4 she 8. They still have a bath together. Do you know since reading this thread its got me thinking whether they should continue. I once asked someone the best age to bath them seperate and was advised when she reached 10 yrs. I suppose it depends on the child.

I bathed with my children when they were little.
I would get in the bath with them and we would sing songs and laugh and chat.... great days.

As for when to stop.... they will stop.
there will come a time when it will just stop and THEY are the ones who will set the change.

So don't worry about it, enjoy the short time that they are your babies.

Neither of us bathed with the children, just not something we thought of. Having 3 under 33 months they all went in together and there wasn't any room..lol

One thing though, one particular cat we had would pester to be let in the bathroom if OH or I were in the bath and he would come in and lay at the end purring like a loony! I have no idea what was so fascinating for him but makes a change from a plastic duck!

We have a lovely bath - plug hole is in the middle & so is where the water comes in so no fights who gets what end!


The boys both still bath together at 7 & 9

CMD I'm not sure I've come across that verse in the bible before!

Our house had a big old fashioned enamel bath when we moved in. We thought of changing it but decided to use the money to have it converted into a spa bath instead.

No-one could ever have a bath alone when our kids were little...........as soon as they heard the bubbles switched on there were two tiny bodies, plastic ducks, boats etc in too!!!

We've had all 4 of us in it at the same time but it was a bit of a squash!

Nobody is particularly prudish in our house and our daughters are quite happy to chat to us while any of us are dressing. My younger daughter has spent some time as an assistant in a care home so she was very helpful when her father needed help after an operation.

My own parents and grandparents were very prudish. I feel we have a much more relaxed and happy home but I also feel everyone should do whatever they feel comfortable doing.
