Mums with boys - when did you stop bathing together???

[Glamourcide]

My DDs (aged 2 and 4) still shower with their dad on occasion. They like to ambush him when he gets home from work and heads for the bathroom lol, and have started demanding that they be bathed at 4:30 so that when he gets home, they're already splashing around merrily and he just starts the shower running again without putting up a fight lol I figure they'll stop showering with him when they become uncomfortable with it - if we pushed for them to continue sharing showers after they express a dislike for it, I would consider *that* to be inappropriate, but while they're happy to do it I don't see an issue. DH tends to just keep his back turned to them so they don't point and laugh at his junk lol.

My DD hasn't seemed to notice the difference going on down there yet! Well she hasn't mentioned it at least.

I agree, whenever they decide they don't want to anymore. I think they will let us know if they start to feel weird about it or want their privacy etc. DD1 is 2.5 and still has baths with Daddy of course.

My boys shower with either of us most days. DS1 is 3 and DS2 is 20 months.

Wow, never really thought about the inappropriate age thing, particularly at 14 months.... DD is 4 yo and she still showers with DH or I and occassionally baths with us. She did go through a stage when younger where she's point at DH privates, but she is sort of over that now.
I know a lady whos DH refused to shower with his girls unless he had his bathers on, even when they were young - each to their own.
I agree though, when DD has said enough is enough, then I guess for us that will be time to stop sharing baths & showers.

I stopped sharing with my DS's when they were about 3. I'm not a great sharer of showers - I like to relax in there and one can't relax with company so for me it was as much about carving out my own space as appropriateness. They still come into the bathroom while I am in the shower now but not for long and they can't see much anyway.
