Do you ever take them a bath together? When is the right time to stop? At what age does it become inappropriate?

My DS turns 3 tomorrow and my DD is 18 months. They still take baths together.

They both know about personal space and personal body parts so Ive never had a problem. The worst that happens is DS comments that he has a penis and DD does not.

I have two boys and a girl. IMO when a child becomes aware of the differences between the two of them then it is time to stop. with my kids my DD was 4 and my DS was 2 when I stopped bathing them together. Now they are 8 & 5 and I have a 2 y/o. I bathe the boys together but my DD bathes alone.

My DD is 4 and DS is 11 months, and they get a bath together.

I did when they where younger. I think the time to stop is when they get curious.

my son is 3 and my daughter is 19 months. they bath together but i will be stopping that when DS turns 4. i am pregnant with another girl so when this one gets big enough to sit up in the tub, i will bath the girls together, and DS alone.

My kids are 5,3, and 2(the 2 year old is my son) and yes. At a certain age you should stop,but when they are young it is ok to give them a bath together.

My kids are too far apart. But IMO I don't think it's appropriate for a boy and girl bathing together.

I never bathed my kids together though they are only 23 months a part. I just never saw it was good to do. They did wear swim suits on hot days and play in the tub together when we didn't have a pool.

my DD is 4 and my son is 6months. i bath them together. the other day she pointed at my sins private area and asked what that was. i replied that that was what made him a boy. and she said "oh" and got on with her bath. no big deal.
