But this thread is completely different.
Early on I was chatting to my brother about my kids and the subject of nudity and bathing came in to it. Well my brother had a strong opinion on this and said it was (PERVEY) to bathe with your kids and being nude around them. Even though me and him used to live in a nude environment as children with our dad. Now it hasnt scarred me or him as far as I know in any way so why come out with something like that?
I bathed with my little girl. Shes 4 and me or my wife still bathe with her from time to time. Now I know we cant do it forever nor do I want to do it forever. Its something that parents to to bond and relax with their kids. My brother also added that I should not bathe with my son when he is born.... why not? I honestly dont see what is so awful about this.
Many men and women do this with their children. I know there are a selected few on this site that see this as disgusting and immoral. And also there are a few that see nothing wrong with it. But now I dont know what I should do.
Do I carry on bathing with my kid +another when he arrives or is it that bad? What do you think???? |
Dude every kid needs that bond with their dad and mum and the ability to teach your kids that your body is nothing to be ashamed of is a great feat one which many many parents have failed at up untill now (mine especialy) I say embrasse your own parenting style, the very fact you are giving it this much thought proves you are a great dad and have the right instincts. But I would suggest drawing the line b4 they start school.
