" We have bubble baths together ALL the time....its one of our favorite things!

Shes 5 not 6....but it wouldnt matter...until shes a teenager and gets embarressed by it.... We will ALWAYS have bubble baths together! "


Really..i mean...am i being a prude? i personally would never do it with oliver, or even if i had a daughter.

Oliver is only 4 months..and he wont be seeing me naked any time soon! he is very alert..and picks up on things


And i mean..this is my exact point

""My girl tells me Ive got a hairy bum =
I told her it wasnt a bum....

So she knows the name now (this is a recent thing)
But she doesnt pronounce it right....she says "Bagima" ""

So am i wrong in feeling like this isnt right?

I think that it is different when you have a girl. My stepson has never seen me naked, My husband freaks if the girls walk in the bathroom and he is in there. But I have taken showers with Alexis. Not as a favorite thing to do, but to practial reasons. Back then, when I was pregnant or Megan was an infant, I didn't have time to be in the bathroom for long periods of time, so I would just kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

I dont think it is wrong.. I have showers with mason sometimes.. well used to now im to big to fit in there with him... lol.. I used to have a bath with him every now and then... So did Leigh.. It might be different when he gets a bit older but atm I dont think there is anything wrong with it..

I don't think I'd bathe with my daughter, but she sits in a playpen in our bedroom by the bathroom door while I shower. I have the bathroom door open while I shower so I can watch her. Yes, she see me naked and I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all. When my son comes, I will continue to do the same.

I don't think there's a right or wrong answer to this. I guess it all depends on how comfortable YOU feel and how comfortable THEY feel about seeing a naked body. I'm comfortable with it, and if I ever start to notice that my daughter or son is starting to become uncomfortable with it, I will stop. But I don't think it's wrong....

hmm so it must be me then...

No I don't think it is just you. Did your mom take baths with you? I didn't take baths with my mom, but I was allowed in and out of the bathroom when she would take her baths. I think it is just like bmes said

Some people are just not comfortable with it.. Its just your personal choice...

Not that i can recall..i didnt have showers or baths with my parents.

I know when we where younger me and my brother shared a bath sometimes..we have some cute pictures with bubbles everywhere.. But it wasnt a daily routine.


There is a difference in your child walking past etc and seeing you naked..vs actually having a bath with them..thats what makes me feel a little creeped out

I can see it being creepy if it was a daily thing or just a fun thing to do. You know what I mean. If it was a thing like "It is mommy and you bath time. Yeah!!!" That would kinda creep me out. Like I said, when I took Alexis in the shower with me, it was a time thing.

I agree it's whether your comfortable with it or not, I throw Luke in with me in the tub if I'm in a hurry to go somewhere, I wash quick, let him in, wash him, get out and get ready in the bathroom while he keeps playing. Not our usual routine, but I've done it. My older kids never now, but I did when they were small too. Luke's getting to the age when I quit...my baby's growing up : (

I always had baths with mine when they were little. My son is just about four and I don't walk around him naked any more. My daughter I could care less if she saw me naked. I still see my Mom naked. That when we vacation together and stuff. I do understand some people being uncomfortable with it. Oh and....My daughter doesn't see my hubby naked. It's the opposite he doesn't care if my son sees him. In fact we're trying to get him interested into the potty so my hubby will take him in there with him.
Boy we all sound like a bunch of pervy hippies : P Don't worrie we're not, I promise!! : )

I remember my mom in the bath with me, but we'd wear our swim suits!!

well. i took a bath w/ mine the other night, but if you remember it didn't turn out too well. i always took baths w/ my sister when we were little. i think -- to each his own. there is an age where it would seem creepy though. i think you should take your cues from the kid. once they start wanting privacy then by all means give it to them...i wouldn't be too shy around them when they are young though because i think it's a good way for them to learn the correct terms for things - bagina is close enough lol - and sarah if you aren't comfortable then don't feel bad about that either.

maybe its because i have a boy? but i doubt i would feel any different if i had a girl idk

Yep. I agree Sezbi. Getting in the bathtub with my daughter would make me uncomfortable.. 

Name: Meagan | Date: Apr 20th, 2007 12:34 AM
Yeah I guess another thign to do with it is wheather you had baths with your parents, brothers and sisters when you were little.. I know I did.. the last time I had a bath with my sister I was like 14!... lol.... 

Name: winnmom | Date: Apr 20th, 2007 12:36 AM
I do not see anything wrong with it.......A bathed with my kids.......My boy too.........
I have not problem with the girls seeing me undressed........( Not my step kids though) 

Name: winnmom | Date: Apr 20th, 2007 12:36 AM
oh and I never ever bathed with my parents....... 

Name: bmes | Date: Apr 20th, 2007 12:40 AM
Well...i would just not worry about it too much. If you're uncomfortable with it, there's nothing wrong with that either. if you don't want to be naked in front of your child/children, then don't!!

:-)

there's nothing wrong with teaching him to be a private person. I myself am more free in that way. I am not uncomfortable with my body in any situation. but like I said before, if Anika or Lex feels not right about it, then I'll be more private about it. it no biggy to me either way.

Thanks BMES. That is a really good way to look at it!
