I get paranoid even having to turn around and get a washcloth out of the drawer. Living in FL we have seen WAY too many kids drown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-574255 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:54:52 +0000 BoogieBea 574255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never when it was just my son. I have with both of them together though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-574240 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:49:11 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 574240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would super quick to get a towel or something (our house is tiny) but now that she is nearly three (two weeks away) she can be in the bath with one of us on the computer in the next room (seriously, only like 6 feet away) because she is very noisy and right there. And can nearly swim. I was a lifeguard for 10 years, I swear I'm not negligent, she's totally fine!</p> <p>She usually bathes with her sister though, who at just one is not okay by herself so I'm pretty much always reading a book in there (or checking hellobee on the itouch...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-574233 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:45:54 +0000 HLK208 574233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah...but I'm a worrier. I would do what Mrs. Bee does if I had to quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-574027 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:32:37 +0000 sarac 574027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A toddler, not really. To leave and grab a towel. But a 3 year old? I would certainly expect to be able to bathe alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-573867 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:33:50 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 573867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep...i have him keep talking the whole time while i grab a towel or take off my jewelry, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-573863 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:31:56 +0000 lawt09 573863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have, but my LO is only 18 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-573772 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:03:10 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 573772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll cop to very quickly running in and out of the room for something. But I am like lightning if I do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-573768 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:01:32 +0000 Mrs.B 573768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. DS is 4 and our bathroom door is connected to the kitchen. I will let him take a bath while I cook dinner with the bathroom door open.

I had to rally four children so sometimes you gotta do it! I would ask them to tell me a story or sing a song until I came back ;)</p> <p>Cobi is one and I will leave for 5 seconds if I forget a towel, so never long at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-left-your-toddler-unsupervised-in-the-bath#post-573687 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:47:08 +0000 prettylizy 573687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: that is super clever, keep him singing so you can hear his voice!!!!
