Did you bathe them together (when they were a bit older?)
When would you stop letting them take baths together?
We have pictures of us at 2, 5 and 8 sitting in the bath. haha (all girls).

I only have a girl right now my parents bathed us together until my bro was in kindergarten!
-
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.
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.

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.
-
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.
-
I have an older brother and sister. We all took baths together!
-
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
-
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!
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.

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.
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?
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...
-
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.
-
My parents bathed me and my younger brother today when we were really little! Probably when I was 7 and he was 3?
-
My mom bathed me n my lil bdo together til I was in first grade/6yo
-
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).
-
My brother is 18 months older & we took baths together until we stopped taking baths & started showering on our own. Probably 6 &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.
-
I think I was 8-9 when I stopped bathing with my little brothers, so they would have been about 6 and 2.
-
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.
-
My mom bathed us both at the same time, but I don't remember her doing it. 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
