    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.
