my kids bath together all the time. when the oldest of the kids starts to feel odd about being naked around the younger kids, then it is time to start. now if the mom has an issue, try to understand what that might be. maybe its cuz there are a boy and girl not becuase they have different moms. Honestly you have to respect her feelings. there will be other battles that will be worth fighting, not this one.

I have 4 kids and have no problem with bathing these children together. If they were older, that may be an issue, but 2 & 3????

One of the moms said it best: The BM may just have her own issues, and you need to decide if it is worth the fight.

In reality, we had cousins bathing together at 3-4 with out any consequences. They are now 21+ and haven't seemed scarred in the least. They also told the parents when they were uncomfortable sharing a tub...we then stopped.

I say, don't worry.

I bath my 2yr old with his 2 yr old step-sister, they were born 2 days apart and have been raised as twin since 5months(we have full sole custody of both them and their brothers), it's your house your rules, we have kids so bathing in 2's makes life easier when the kids were small enough I'd stick the "twins" in there bath seats and the boys would get in with them they all had a blast, we'd dig out the bubbles and bath paints and within half an hour I had 4 bathed and started on jammies.

They currently are in separate rooms. But to make bath time more fun and easier on me I just think it wouldnt hurt to bath them together. Thank you ladies for your opinions!

i find nothing wrong with that, i bathed with my cousin who is a boy until i was probably 5 or 6, i was always over my aunts house while my parents worked and we just always were together. nothing wrong with that, and of course kids are going to be curious, they want to know what it is, so tell them!

Yes that is my thoughts too. But since she is completely against it I now have to bath each child separate which takes up to over an hour in bath time for all three kids versus it only taking about 30 mins or so. My husband wants to respect her wishes which I don't agree with him on this one. We raise them like they are siblings sp therefore why not let th bathe together till about 4 or 5. My step daughter gets really excited to take baths with her brother. But I don't want to cause conflict by going against what she says with this because it's already a hard situation between is three adults.

I think thats dumb my sd and son are both 3 and i bath them together they are siblings end of story. Im not sure why she would have a problem with it other then causing conflict.
