My kids are almost exactly the same ages as yours and they all bathe together. They have no issues with it, and neither do I or DH. Until they want to be alone, they will bathe together! Similar to what a pp said, I also shower/bath with the kids, as does DH, and I have no issues with that either. DD and DS1 also bathe with their older cousin (a girl if it makes any difference!) who is 8 without issues too.
I think when they want to stop. My dd is 9and an only child. We have her friends over and they want to jump in the spa bath but in their bathers whereas a few years ago they would have been naked. Some undress in front of each other but some insist on going into another room.
thanks everyone. yeah, I guess DD will tell me when she doesn't want her brothers in the bath with her, but I guess she will move onto having showers too. x
my brother and I bathed together until we were around 8 and 4 and we only stopped because my brother thought it was funny to pretend he was a water fountain and wee in my mouth. I refused to enter the bathroom if he was in it for years!
I only have 1 child (almost 5) and she now asks for "private space" for going to the toilet, bathing, getting dressed etc. We have no issue with this and give her the space she requests. She closes her door to get changed. Now if I could just get her to stop barging in on me when I'm in the loo! Although we don't prohibit her from entering the bathroom/bedroom if we are showering/changing - we do insist that she knock first though.
DD1 is 8, DS is 5.5 and DD2 is 2.5 - they all still regularly shower and bathe together. They take in turns and swap eg tonight DD1 and DS had a shower while DD2 had a bath. It's not an issue in our house, I suppose when DD1 expresses that she is uncomfortable then we will stop it but why fix what aint broken?
DD1 is 10 soon & DS is 4 next month, they still shower together. DD3 often gets in too.
Or 6yo DD & DS.
I mix them up, but there's always an older one in with a little in the shower, so they can watch them. DD1 is the only one I leave alone in the bath with DD3.
5.5yo boy and 2yo girl, not just bathing together, but regularly stripping to nothing to play. I didn't care when we lived in a built up area and I certainly don't care now that we're on a farm!
I love how my BiL's family are with nudity - 16yo still showers with the little kids present in the bathroom, 14yo sister bathes with the little ones, who are 3 and 5 and boy and girl. They've always been so normal and unrepentant about nudity
