IMHO The parent of the opposite sex should not be bathing with their child. If for some weird ass reason you feel you must do this It should stop by age 2. Yes, you can bathe nude with your soon to be son, but once again after the age of 2 it's just weird and a bit pervy. Quote:

I understand this, however I see no reason why a young girl should ever see her father nude. Nor do I see a point in a young boy seeing a mother nude. Your bathing him shows your bond. He doesn't have to see you nude. Don't do it. I disagree, if he wants to bathe withe his son fine. But once he's out of diapers it needs to stop. Congrats to you, your wife, and your little girl! | Quote:

Opinions vary as to what that point is, although it's probably after age 4, and it sure as hell better be before age 12. | WRONG! The cut off is prior to age 4! If the child is in double digits, or knows their multiplication tables and is still bathing or showering with a parent then someone needs to call the division of youth and family services. Quote:

There comes a natural curiosity about body parts and what not at a certain age. My husband quit being nude around her when she was about 2, then he started wearing underwear in front of her. He stopped wearing underwear only the day she went up to him and patted his crotch and said "Oh no! Daddy pottied in his panties!" because he has a huge bulge! LMAO! See that's just it. When the child is able to speak coherently, you need to stop being nude around them or they will tell complete strangers which can get you into reouble with the law. | Quote:

For the same reason picturing your parents have sex creeps you out- the thought of remembering what your dads penis looked like floating in the bathtub might just give you a strange feeling. Keep in mind this is from a womans perspective. I think there is more allowed between mothers and daughters and fathers and sons. Yes, I agree. Its when you cross the genders that people start to worry about the emotional/sexual development. Exactly my point. I'm with whoever said ask your pediatrician.
Just like there are mothers who want to breastfeed their toddlers until 4 or 5 years old, they arent ashamed of it, but most people do find that breastfeeding does have a cut off point (like before your kid can scratch your boob with his facial hair) | Oh God! Let's not get started on breastfeeding again! |
