My husband and I take turns. He usually does the 3 year old and I handle the baby (squirmy wet baby freaks him out ha!)

D doesn't get home until after bedtime, so mostly me. He usually does one weekend bath.

I've done probably 99% of baths for both boys. When my husband has done it, it takes forever as they basically just play and the tub is refilled like 3 times! He also has a shift schedule so I'm the constant every night.

Bath is often the toughest part of the day for us, so we tackle it together.

99% of the time I do it. DH has a crazy schedule and we don't see him until Friday afternoon.

Dh does it the majority of the time, and has pretty much since the beginning. Might change a little now that we have two!

DH usually does bath-time with DS and sometimes DD. If he's not home or DS asks, then I do it.

Always DH. I just help get them in and out of the tub so we don't have two naked babies running around with only one parent to corral them.

So far her grandmothers have given her all her baths. When we're on our own DH will be doing it.

Together! We alternate who holds squirmy wet baby, and who soaps and rinses her!

My friend gave me the advice to have DH give the baths so that I get a break and they have something that's just for them. And once DS1 moved from the baby bath to the tub, we did this. I still pop in and help out once in awhile but it's DH's thing. Now with DS2, I'll continue to do the baby baths but once he's ready to be in the tub with his big brother, DH will do them

My husband gives the boys their bath if he is home. If he's not home at bedtime, I tend to skip it : )

If you shower while she's awake you get company around here! She's obsessed! So we take turns but it's more my husband than me.

Usually me because hubs gets home late. But lately I've been waiting for him to get home and help because I'm super pregnant.

When my son was a newborn, we did it together. I think he did them until we moved, when was about when my son turned 2, then I took over...no idea why we switched, to be honest. Now I run them.

Together. I'm the one who gets in the tub with her usually though (she's much happier bathing with one of us than alone).

Together. We start with the baby in the baby tub, then big kid hops in the tub. Once the baby is clean, I take him to get dressed and fed. After that, I join DH and LO #1 for pjs and bedtime routine.

We do it together 95% of the time. But we generally only bathe LO once per week and it's a really special time.

I didn't vote because it's usually me, but not always! I've been doing their baths together, but if they bathe separately, I bathe the baby then DH bathes the 3 year old. divide and conquer and off to bed

We take turns whenever both of us are home - which is usually only weekends. It's mainly me during the week though. If DH comes home early he likes to do it.

DH does, while I "help" (get the towel, hand LO her ducky, entertain her, generally spectate). He is much more comfortable handling a slippery infant than I am.

If DH is home, he does it while I clean up from dinner. Otherwise, I do it.

I almost always do it- for some reason DH really does not like being charge of baths. But if I can't for some reason, he will do it.
