I like doing the baths! The hardest part is detangling our daughter's hair... other than that, it's pretty easy. Bee cooks dinner, so she's able to get a little break during baths.
Sometimes though, baths are incredibly draining - especially if the hair rinsing doesn't go well.
Who does the bath(s)?

DH used to do a lot of them when it was just A, now that there are two kiddos we share the duty. However, DH started a new work schedule so I think I will be doing a lot of the baths since he won't get home until after 6pm and our youngest goes to bed around then. We will see!

Usually DH...so I can relax and play on my phone. No not really, usually I load the dishwasher or start laundry or something, but it's so nice to have a toddler break!

We switch off and tag team. One of us sets up the tub while the other undresses LO. One of us gives the bath while the other gets the pajamas set, puts away toys, sets up the bottle, etc. Then one person dresses LO while the other cleans up from the bath.

DH usually does them. I only do them when he's out of town. He's better at rinsing B's hair without getting water in his face.

Right now, I'm still on maternity leave, so I bathe her during the day. Not sure how we'll handle it when we're both back at work.

My husband! I am so excited because for a long time he fought me on taking over our sons bath but he has really grown up and now he does so every night. I think it's really helped their bond. Plus it's the cutest thing ever.

I do because my DH doesn't get home from work during the week until 830 and DS goes to bed around 6ish. So he ends up doing it a couple nights a week

DH! He is so much better at it than me. I have no idea why, but bath time with mommy means screaming. Bath time with daddy means splashing and giggling!
Physically I don't think I could do it right now anyways, my huge bump makes it impossible!

I usually give dh thee options bath or bedtime. He chooses bath 90% of the time which works for me.

DH is in charge of baths. I wish I could take a break during bath time, but I'm usually running around making sure each kid is ready for bed or putting away dinner.

I do almost all baths/showers. Almost always takes a shower with me in the morning, we don't do night baths like it seems most people do.

A friend advised me to have DH do them so that I'd have a break and then he would have a "thing" with DS. So he mainly does them but I come in a the end to help with the rinsing off as DS always acts like we're pouring hot lava on his head.

Wagon Sr. does them! I'm usually cleaning up from dinner and packing lunches while he's doing them.

My husband does baths, and I'm so glad. They get to bond, I clean up after dinner. They often call me in so DD can show me how she "floats" on her back, puts toys on her head, etc.

We switch every night right now, but he usually does them a bit more now that I've been having first trimester exhaustion.
