    well I am will be the odd one out, I dont shower with Jack anymore and haven't except once or twice when in a hurry since he was 2 1/2yr old this is at Jase's request, not mine per se

    Jack still showers with Jase though

    I grew up seeing mum naked still see her naked if I am visiting and she is getting dressed etc...Jase's parents are much more private etc...so I am guessing we are a semi compromise

    Actually, that's an interesting point Trill, there isn't the same openness with DH. Not sure if it's because of a different relationship, or because he's a man? Even DS will give DH more privacy...with me they just don't seem to care.

    I always liked to take mine in the shower to save time when we need to get ready and go out fast, but the older ones started resisting it at about 5/6. Pretty much when they start school!

    Boys regularly shower with 1 if us, and have baths with us. Its easier.
    I don't have a problem with it and currently DH doesn't either.

    I haven't really thought about it, I guess we'll just do it til they decide they don't want to. we wander around the house semi naked or naked at times.

    My mum still complains about how she never had any peace on the toilet or in the shower... for a very long time
    I guess our kids will let us know when they need privacy (we don't get the same courtesy of course...). DS wants me to bathe with him, but I do not fit right now.
