So i must've been quite young when she stopped. I'll probably stop before they start school...i don't want my little girls or boys thinking it's OK to be around other naked little kids. They just don't get it, so I want to avoid any confusion </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316289 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:32:04 +0000 T-Mom 316289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bathe my 4 yr old girl and 1 yr old boy together frequently because it's convenient and they really enjoy it. I'm not sure when we will stop... Probably when my daughter senses more need for privacy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316195 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:28:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 316195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was 8-9 when I stopped bathing with my little brothers, so they would have been about 6 and 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316161 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:40:23 +0000 mrs. bird 316161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother is 18 months older &amp; we took baths together until we stopped taking baths &amp; started showering on our own. Probably 6 &amp;7. I really don't see what the big deal would be for siblings to bathe together. I used to take baths with my cousins, even with my friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316155 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:33:44 +0000 Adira 316155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother (older) and I used to take baths together. I think we stopped when we were about 4 and 5 (also around that time, we stopped sharing a room). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316068 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:05:05 +0000 mrsjyw 316068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom bathed me n my lil bdo together til I was in first grade/6yo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316061 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:00:04 +0000 pinkcupcake 316061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents bathed me and my younger brother today when we were really little! Probably when I was 7 and he was 3? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316053 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:55:07 +0000 banana 316053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't mind bathing them together when they're younger. I think it'd be cute! Once my son grows a bit older and understands he has "chengpi" parts, I would bathe them separately. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316015 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:21:39 +0000 dagret 316015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I are 20 months apart and my mom bathed us together till I was 5 or 6 maybe? We also shared a room at one point from the time i was 5 till i was 7. </p> <p>Then my baby brother was born when I was 8 and other brother was 6. My brother and I took (separate, 1-on-1) baths with baby brother until he was able to sit up (me) and until my brother didn't think it was fun to bathe with a baby - i dunno, till baby brother was 2 and my other brother was 8? </p> <p>My MIL had all boys and told me once that it's plain wrong to have children of opposite gender bathe together even when they're little. I think if she had a girl too, that she'd think otherwise. but whatever. She also thinks you should not let you child see you breastfeed its siblings either....but that's another post... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-316003 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:13:40 +0000 LemonLong 316003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was in 2nd or 3rd grade when I finally felt too old to take baths with my little brother. I remember my little brother crying (he's two years younger then me) during bath time because it just wasn't fun to take a bath alone!</p> <p>We also shared a room until about middle school I think. He and I are a lot closer to each other than we are to my older sibling because we shared everything. If I have a boy and girl, I don't think I would worry about them sharing baths or a room together until they get closer to puberty and one of them starts feeling uncomfortable with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-315922 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:33:04 +0000 twinmama 315922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they are little enough that I bathe them in the baby tub, so separately. but once they can sit up in the regular tub, I'll bathe them together. probably for many years, like until they want to shower instead of tub or they both don't fit anymore :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-276630 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:00:19 +0000 heffalump 276630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an older brother and sister. We all took baths together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-276625 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:57:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 276625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bathed with both my older brother and my younger brother. I think I stopped bathing with my younger brother when I was 8, but he was only 2 at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-276621 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:56:14 +0000 BoogieBea 276621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started bathing them together when the younger was shy of 1 year. They love it. They also bathed with their cousin, who was visiting, this week. She's almost 5. Didn't seem weird at all so I'm not sure how long we'll be bathing them together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-276615 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:50:50 +0000 Honeybee 276615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are still little (DD is 2, DS is 5 months), but I think we'll let the kids take the lead on this one. Whenever they say it's uncomfortable and they want to stop.</p> <p>I remember being at least 6 and my mom bathing me with a male family friend. Also, our best friend's kids bathed together until the daughter was 7 or 8 and the son was 5 or 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-276614 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:50:00 +0000 autumnlove 276614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have a girl right now my parents bathed us together until my bro was in kindergarten! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-boy-and-a-girl#post-276602 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:43:38 +0000 chopsuey 276602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you bathe them together (when they were a bit older?) </p> <p>When would you stop letting them take baths together? </p> <p>We have pictures of us at 2, 5 and 8 sitting in the bath. haha (all girls). </p>
