For me o ... I used to bathe with my kids, the moment they started talking... I had to advise my self to stop. Eh! b4 I begin hear questions wey I no go fit answer! hehehehe!
Depends on their age really but I will say why not. Espcially when they are young and when they ask questions about the private part and the hair around it, be honest about everything with them
Why not? Now, when your child hits 10 and up, ok, I have an issue. When they are 9 yrs. old, they r still innocent and don't really see it "nasty" to see their parent naked.
To a certain age yes....I think 8 is the ideal age to stop...But then at 7 I was staring at my mum's pubic hair and wondering what was wrong with mine!!!
YEAH....AWW.. ALWAYS THINK BOUT BATHING WIV MA KIDS....WELL MAYBE WEN THEY ARE RIPE....AND THEIR EYES ARE IN FULL VIEW..THEN ITS BEST TO STOP..B4 THEY GO TO SCOOL AND EXPOSE A COUPLE OF FAMILY SECRETS..HEHEHEHEHE.....AWWW I MISS TAKING A SHOWER WIV MY BIG BRO!!!!!!!FUN TIMES MEHNNN!!!!!!! P.S: XOXO
whatever works for u.....i dont care about stages of undress with kids.....but with nudity espcially with kids of the opposite sex.....5/6yrs is aiight to stop bathing with them.........
I'm struggling with the notion that one has to bathe with one's kids at all. I guess if one has to, it should be same sex only (as in father/son, mum/daughter) and 3/4 years maximum.
Noo, Noo, Noo! for girls, it may be alright to bath with mum up till they are maybe 3. I say 3, because, when I was growing up, I've heard kids come out and said to me, my mum has hairs in her bottom, I use to wonder what they were saying. Yes I know we are family, but don't start what you don't intend to contiune. If you want to teach them the intimate stuff, let it be in the comfort of the living room.
okay, let me tell the truth, I bathe with my kids. Not often, but there are times when I am in the shower and one of them needs to clean up from rolling around in the backyard or covering his face (usually the boys) with food.
Now, will my kids and I continue to shower together forever? Of course not. There will come a time when it becomes inappropriate to do so. But for now, my 4 year old, 2.5 year old and 1 year old have the privilege of sharing a shower with me and telling me "Mummy, you have a biggy bum bum" and there is no embarrassment. lol!
Did i provide a sufficient response? If not, make you tell me oh, =)
I could have sworn I had made my comments on this post some days back. Anyway sha, bathing with your kids, well when the kids are younger I think it is ok (especially for bonding) but once they start to talk and know what bumbum and boobs mean, put an end to it o!
Why start something you would have to stop sooner or later? If it is really about BONDING, there are other way of bonding! You can do other things with them and make out time to take them out.
Children don't always forget what they see most especially in their formative stages. They relate better with visuals which is stored in the subsconsciousness and becomes a term of reference later on in life!
Before they startasking questions you can't answer...it is better not to even start it!
Oh well i think itz cool.. pipz up there are ryt bout the bondin thing. Well until lyk 5 or sumn. I think i'd do it with my kid till he/she was lyk 3.. itz sweeet!!
From ages 0-3, MAYBE. After that I dont think so. Especially if the child is of the opposite sex... My parents never bathed with me sha-and I dont think I missed anything!
hmmm. i've answer n d negative. wen my nephew was 2, i was bathing with him. i was undressed as he was. but i wanted 2 start wit him first. only 4 d yeye boy 2 look me up & down b4 declaring 'aunty FFF, u've fine legs' Ha! i screamed o. i even reported him 2 his daddy. my fear is dat, if he can tell dat i have fine legs, den he can just look a bit up & tell dat d thing between those legs r not like d one between his own.
Ahh, no ohh... It never happened to my knowledge. I was only "forced" to watch my mum bathe from time to time. I hope not to bathe with my kids either... Its just... weird.
2 yrs old and below is fine with me. but i tink i am comfortable with sons = fathers and mothers = daughters. I tink its easier to answere questions on same sex dan opposite sex.
But wait a second. Whats wrong with that??? LOLLLL. Indecent exposure. Let's take for instance a woman bathing with her 2-yr old son. He's going to be wanting to bathe with other women at a really tender age...lolll. Not kewl!
E be like say u're getting too immersed into western culture? Why cant parents have a bath with their kids if they're quite small...at least 7yrs and below...abi you dey read Freud?
-mummy see your bum bum -Yes sweet heart, that's mummy's buttocks -Butshocks? -No b u t t o c k s, you have one too. -I have? -Yes dear -How about this one here? -This one? That's a vagina. You have one too - I have one? -Yes, that's yours... -Va shina -No vagina dear and we have to keep it clean because you pee from here -child giggles. Mummy, does daddy have one too? -Yes, he does but he has a penis -Fenis?
LG, i don't know. It all depends on how soon you want to handle this conversation or not.
Hmmm....i wouldn't bath with my child who is starting to talk...kids these days can say anything and i think everyone is entitled to their own privacy..there are other ways of bonding with a child than bathing with them....my opinion!
After a certain age, for boys, around 5 years old, they shouldn't see mummy naked......(Mothers&Sons by Jean Lush). Jean Lush's believes that it can lead strange sexuality for boys, like homosexuality. Basically not appreciating the female body because that's "mummy"...so, being aroused by a man's body instead. It's a school thought that it made sense to me so I took it onboard.
eesshhh, will u even get to read this fifty sumtnth post, oooohhhh, i dont think its nyc, i think its icky, bathing wit ur kid, oh no. lg wats up wit ya?

Lol...erm maybe becuase im older now, but i never really bathed with my parents when i was young...
I dont see whats wrong with it if you are young, say 5 months, so and so, not like 3 years.
i dont know, i wouldnt personally do it with my child, i dont see the point really. but people do say, it lets parents and the child bond

To a certain age yes....I think 8 is the ideal age to stop...But then at 7 I was staring at my mum's pubic hair and wondering what was wrong with mine!!!

my 4 yr-old cousin is definitely not someone to bathe with! children these days are much more exposed than we assume.
so it's a BIG NO!
heeheehee...i see nothing wrong with it..so long as dey dont go 'mummy has a big bum bum' to outsiders..seriously i see nothing wrong with it
its not wrong....but one needs to stop it when they are old enuf to notice the diff btwn a big bum from a small one...lol

lol..It depends oh... i can only do it till 2 yrs old..
But what is the difference bwt taking a shower with your children and dressing in front of your children?
Oh well i think itz cool.. pipz up there are ryt bout the bondin thing.
Well until lyk 5 or sumn.
I think i'd do it with my kid till he/she was lyk 3.. itz sweeet!!
why not? i dunno oh! my parents didn't bathe with me. I'm good oh Lg.. dis one way u remember me today
Hmmm..how old is the kid? I think that after a certain age you shouldn't. I never sabi the age yet sha.
And yes mai sister, I dey chop chicken now o. :D
From ages 0-3, MAYBE. After that I dont think so. Especially if the child is of the opposite sex...
My parents never bathed with me sha-and I dont think I missed anything!
My sister, thnx for remembering me always. Had to deal with some stuff and got too distracted. But here I am...still standing.
My parents never did with me...too conservative. As for me, I no know oh.
How you dey? Good, I hope.

Thats a Nigerian child :)
See ya bum bum!
I dont think its a big deal to have your bath with your kids. My take.
madam LG, where art thou? it's very unlike u not to update o... hope all is well...
I took baths with my mum as a kid(like 8yrs) and i dont think it affected me negatively sha.
How u dey babes?
-mummy see your bum bum
-Yes sweet heart, that's mummy's buttocks
-Butshocks?
-No b u t t o c k s, you have one too.
-I have?
-Yes dear

-This one? That's a vagina. You have one too
- I have one?
-Yes, that's yours...
-Va shina
-No vagina dear and we have to keep it clean because you pee from here

When daddies bathe with daughters or Mummies with sons....thats just maiming!!!
Once i had a bath with my 3yr old niece and she couldnt stop staring at my 38GG boobs....I swear the girl was traumatized as her mum is only a 34B!!
