 I know it is different for every family, not one thing is right for everyone. Im just interested in what you guys think of it. Like when is it no longer ok? Opposite sex issues? Just seeing what maybe the norm is.

I would think its ok maybe up until 4 years old. Maybe 6 or 7 if they're the same sex.

We co-shower often. When dd was younger, it was easier to bathe together. Now we just shower together (she's 16mo). I will probably stop once she gets curious and starts asking questions...

I shower with baby. At 3-4 I became uncomfortable with my son seeing be naked.

My son is 18 months old and he takes showers with me once or twice a week. Not sure when I'll be uncomfortable with it.

I took showers with my son until he was a little over 2. When he became curious and asked questions..

I donno, my older son is 3 and he will still ask to hop in the shower with me sometimes after I go for a run, it doesn't bother me. I don't know when my 13 year old quit wanting to shower with me, but it does quit happening sooner rather than later!

Same sex i would say 6 if not then 3. My son is 16months and he normally takes bath by himself but every now and then he will take a shower with me. He has only taken a shower with my dh once. Dh says he moves around to much lol.
