My girls are 3.5 and 2 and still bathe together. I honestly only think we'll stop when they don't comfortably fit in the tub together anymore! lol
How old do you think is too old for siblings to bathe together?

I think when one does not want to anymore or the oldest is close to puberty for same sex siblings- whatever comes first.
For opposite sex earlier- not sure when- it would depend on the kids. DH is not comfortable with our 2 year old daughter taking a bath with her boy cousins which surprised me but I understand.
Who knows till I have a pair of siblings to parent. Like in all things good judgment/gut feeling is a good guide.

Our 5.5 and 2.5 year old girls love showering together in our master shower. As long as they are okay, I'm okay. Neither of them is fond of the bath right now.

Whenever they don't want to anymore. Mine don't bathe together every night, it's their choice. But I don't think it's weird as long as they want to. I don't think they'll want to much past like 6 anyway.

Dunno! We have a 4 yo and 18 month old that love bathing/showering together/with me/DH. Probably will until DD1 asks not to.

I have one boy and one girl and so far they still bathe together at 6 and 3. We'll let them continue until they don't want to.

no idea, my 4 and 2 year old shower together and love it. when my niece is in, she will shower with them. she's 8. i dont see the big deal. baby girl will join in with her brothers once she is older. i guess when they start to feel uncomfortable, we will stop, so it's up to them.

I have girls, DD2 is too young right now but as long as they both fit and want to, I don't mind!

My boys, 6.5 and 3, occasionally bathe together. My oldest tends to take showers more often now. And honestly when they do take a bath together they get rowdy. I like to avoid water getting spilled out of the tub:). But I think it will only stop when they're too big to fit in the tub together.

I did with two sisters in my parents' jacuzzi tub until the oldest was 9, youngest was 4 and middle was 8. We took baths probably just two of us just for fitting reasons if we weren't in the big tub. Just depended on the day and schedule if we were solo or not. It never felt weird and I think we just stopped because baths stopped and showering started happening for the older kids.

my two girls are 4 1/2 and 2 and we will stop when DD1 is over it. We are more worried about when to stop showering with DH. Our oldest showers with him in the morning right now and it's convenient but I know the time will have to come to an end soon.

I was just thinking about this today. My DD is 3.5 and my son is 2 and I don't think we're close to separating them, but I'm not sure when we would stop unless they ask to or no longer fit. They regularly see me undressed as well, though DH is trying to phase that out.
