Naked is normal!!! There are FAMILIES of nudists running around teaching their kids that our bodies are all normal. Why are we sexualizing bodies???

Sounds silly but I was told when I had babbies an they were in the car seat belts like this or any of them you want like 3 fingers around there tummy an legs an 2 fingers up by the neck an shoulders. But things have changed like every thing else right but they told me if you can get 2-3 fingers threw the straps just like a puppy leash or harness then baby is ok

When they start noticing that they have different body partsā¦ We stopped our kids early because my husband was taught different from me. My siblings and I were very close and we just didnāt even notice we were different until we went through pubertyā¦ My husband parents were very different and he really enforces no baths together, no walking naked around the house, he even walks around in his robe or pajamasā¦ Me Iām totally different lmboā¦ My older kids are 8(girl) and 2 boys ages 7 and 6ā¦

My 4 and 8 year old boys still bath together and they play and have fun
Let them wear bathing suit bottoms of it bothers you. Hold towel up between wash bottom and take younger sister out so he can do the same. Siblings are your first friends and with Covid, they need that in their lives.

I just separated them this summer. 7 and 5. Iām teaching them privacy and boundaries. I noticed some things when I got them from their dads that wasnāt normal. Like my daughter and son are just toooooooo intimate at times. Yeah! It was weird!!! I had to like separate them for getting alongā:rofl:
like too well. I dont know what goes on at his house but almost making out with your brother is NOT OK! So I started separate showers/baths. And also go dress in private. Because while I was running daycare or having maintenance people work on the house my daughter just (7 going on 8) thinks itās OK to walk around naked in front of people and OUTSIDE! she came outside naked while I was talking to the HVAC guy about the roof. I was in shock! We live in a suburb. How do you not know privacy? !!???

My kids (boy and girl) stopped at age 4&5 I believe.
Sounds like they just want to play in the water together. If you ever do get worried, you could always just chuck bathers on them and let them just play in the water for ages

A lot of these comments make me really sad!! My two still bath together they are 6 and nearly 5! And im always there to supervise them! Not because i dont trust them with each other but because of them being in the water and the risk of drowning!! Until one of them says i dont want to bath together it will continue!!
They are innocent children for god sake!!

Iām sad this has to be asked 
we never thought anything of bathing with our siblings, Iām sure it came naturally to our mom when it was no longer appropriate but I donāt remember at what age it happened. No one made a big deal of it apparently so my mom must have done it right

When either one is uncomfortable. We stopped around age 4/5ā¦ basically when they stopped wanting to bath together by default/natural progression.
But water doesnāt do much to cover anything and they all know which parts they have. So Iām not sure why thatās even mentioned as a thing

I let my 5 year old son and nearly one year old daughter bath or shower! Once one of them decides they want to do it alone I will, once questions are asked about their privates I will answer questions with the right things they are called and then go from there! Just let the kids be kids!

My kids are stair steps. My oldest is a girl and my younger two are boys. She turned 5 this year and knows how to wash herself so I went ahead and separated them. It was easier to wash them all together when she couldnāt wash her hair or body herself because I was busy scrubbing them all down, but now she just gets done way faster than the boys do and I just canāt keep up with her and them at bath time now. So I wash my boys first and get them dried, dressed, and ready for bed and then I sit with and supervise her.

My kids are 6 boy, 8 and 9 girls, when they want to bathe together it always with a swimsuit on. Itās not really about getting clean but more about playing together in the water. They shower themselves after in another bathroom separately.

Let kids be kids, if they wanna bath together then let them, your supervising them anyway. I personally have 2 boys (now 10 and 13) - they stopped bathing together when my eldest was about 5 years old. He said he wanted to bath on his own like a big boy - so that was that. You sound like youāve got it covered, as a mum youāll know when it should stop. xx

I bathed with a friend whenever i had a sleepover and we were both very curious and got up to all sorts. We really werenāt very old 
looking back I feel very strange about it and what I used to get up to as a kid without really understanding what it was. Just saying those of you saying itās fineā¦ You have no idea what kids can get up to if youāre not watching 
I think supervised is fine. I class myself as normal with no trauma etc in my childhood before you wonder if stuff was going on. I do wonder about some of my friends thoughā¦

Depends on the kids I guess.
Some maybe a little too curious and others oblivious at different ages.
I stick to if they are old enough to be left unsupervised in the bath they probably shouldnāt be bathing together for opposite gendersš
There sure are a bunch of people afraid to simply explain that boys and girls are made differently, and afraid to having to say the name of body parts. You all need help.

Im a girl, I showered with my sister (3 years older) till I was about 10ā¦ didnāt really care either way. If we both wanted in, we got in. Baths were all three kids till we didnāt fit, and then the eldest went solo and me and my sister had bathsš¤·āāļø. Ask your kids what they want to do.

After the age of 3 is to old because they become aware of their bodies. I believe as adults and parents we need to teach our children how to give privacy and care about showing our bodies to others. If we donāt teach our children values at a young age who will teach them. That goes with siblings interacting too.

I never did with my sibling, I did with my cousin occasionally she was the only other girl lol and we were really little. But me and my brother are 4 years apart so that probably played a role in why we never bathed together 
I probably wonāt with my babies but thatās only cuz I have 1 baby girl rn and donāt plan on another one for a long time

Surely they already know that they are different because most little ones have seen when nappy changing so there should be no reason to worry till one of them decides they want to bath alone
In my opinion I think whichever child is the oldest and they start asking questions about their siblings opposite anatomy is probably when itās time for them to start taking separate baths. Too much curiosity and questions can lead to unnecessary issues!
Mine are 5 4 and 2. 2 boys and the youngest a girl. They all bath together and no one thinks anything of it because they are children! They are happy so thatās all that matters. It wonāt be forever but for now I donāt see the issue

As a single mom with 3ā¦ A 10yg 2yb and 1ygā¦ They all shower together sometimesā¦but normally the 2 youngest bathe together. I wash em both at the same time and wash their hair at the same time. Its a work smarter not harder thingā¦ Im too busy and have so much to do on my own im not spending a whole extra bathtime when i dont need too. As long as youre supervising them and engaged with them they dont have time to get curious.

My husband or I have taken showers with our son since he was born. Heās 5. Sometimes we get in wash us and him, then get out and let him play. He doesnāt care about my areas or his dads/ so Iām not sure why with 2 kids it would be different.
Stopped my daughter around 6 more for the reason they were getting to big for the bath itself lol but worked out great for my kids
If youāre feeling uncomfortable you could always chuck them in togs to play in the bath. If its for the purpose of play then it should be no different than if theyāre sharing a paddling pool
My daughter is 5 and my son is 3 and they still bath together.

Well my 4 year old wants nothing to do with bathing with his baby sister. He always says I donāt wanna take a bath with sissy. My 6 year old on the other hand donāt care and is happy to have his sissy or brother to play with in the bath. I think your kid will let you know when they donāt wanna do that anymore. If anything put bathing suits on if your worried.
My 2 girls are 7 & 9 and still go in the bath together, it is completely normal and until one of them ask to go in alone i will carry on
If my kids want to play in the tub together. I let them put on their swimsuits and play with their toys. Bathe them separately after
Only in america is certain things frowned up. Im other countries they have something called family baths and beds. everyone joined the bath mom dad sister brother even the grandparents hopped in. Its a bath not lets be weird time.
I think itās ok while they are still comfortable. My daughter now 8 showers on her own now as she feels abit uncomfortable with her 2 younger brothers. She likes to have her own space and privacy.
I did it for like 2 years. I bathed all 3 at one time. There was 32 months difference in my 2-4 so it made it easier for me personally
Until they no longer want to!
There is nothing wrong with innocent children innocently bathing together!! Iāll use the world innocent again and again!
Its the adults that sexualise it. Thatās the wrong part. The adults are taking away the innocence!!
If your even questioning it, you may be a tad uncomfortable? Which is normal. Feelings happen. You could always put a bathing suit on them and they can play. You can sort out washing them and when with whatever works for you.
I have only one child and sheās use to seeing us both naked. Itās like it doesnāt matter, but at the beach we have to cover her from head to toe for her to change in and out of her bathing suit. Sheās very conscious that others donāt see any of her. We donāt matter, we are her parents.
Some women walk practically naked in the street for all eyes to see so stop sexualising being naked in your home among your kids. I only have 1 kid and he showers with me, he just turned 2 and is still breastfed. I will draw a line when he is about 4 or 5 depending on his curiosity because right now the shower is full of toys so he isnāt taking any notice of me.

I stopped my son bathing with his sisters about 5 I think he was maybe almost 6 when he started becoming more curious about his own and other peopleās bodies. I just put it as how hes a big boy so he needs his own privacy and needed to start learning to be able to do things himself to be more independent.
Heās now 8 and can shower/bath alone has done for a whileā¦ with me still within hearing distances upstairs though of course
Itās only weird when you make it weird. Kids donāt know why it could be. So unless inappropriate things are happening or one of them decides they want to do it alone. Let them be kids.
Iām a mum of 4 and stopped at around my boy being 5 all new different as boy girl but it just happen they had no fix date they just wanted a huge bath to them selfs
My 2 and a half year old daughter baths with her 8 month old brother but now she tells me she wants a shower instead so she showers with my help x
When I was 3 my older brother put a bar of soap
Up there
My advice would be the age they decide it would be a good idea to shove a bar of soap up someoneās crotch is the age they shouldnāt bathe together
I remember being a child and I always wanted to get in the bath regardless of who was in it 
. Everyone wore undies or knickers. 
If they want to play in the bath but you have an issue with them seeing each others bits, put bathers on them and give them a proper separate wash the night after.
I would say until they donāt want to themselves ? Sharing baths doesnāt last longā¦ often they decide early ish that they want their own anyway
My 13 year old son wears swim shorts and hops in with my 4 year old daughter the odd time. No harm
I bathed with my brother until we were likeā¦ 6 or 7? I think your kids will let you know when they start wanting privacy is pretty much when it stops
Mine are 15 months apart. They quit taking baths together when my daughter actually noticed her brotherās penis and flicked itš¤£
Id say around age 5. Obviously it depends on the parents but thats when i was taking baths by myself
Every kid is different, but just be aware. When it gets awkward and/or they want to be separate, then be done
They are kids let s them be kids,naturally you need to be there so they do not drown each others
Just an idea If you think kids are getting to big for r the tub or not sure if itās right or wrong get a hand held shower and squirt wm down itās quick easy and everyone is in and out in 5 mins.
If I feel they getting a bit āoldā I get the kids to wear undies in the bath
My son kept undies on the kids so they could play in the tub.
5 is when my son asked to shower or bathe alone. I didnāt shower with him but i helped wash him until he said enough.
I recall baths with my brother up till about 4
I think my kids were 4&6 maybe.
As soon as possible or better yet, not at all. Incest aināt cool and at a certain age kids are exposed to sexuality in one way or another no matter how hard you try to prevent it. TV, movies, music, anything and nowadays itās EVERYWHERE.
Imagine your kids being exposed to sexuality too early and theyāre still bathing with each otherā¦ nah cut that shit out they wanna play together in water? Thatās what outdoor pools are for.
When the eldest goes to kindergarten itās time to separate
I think when the kids start noticing that their is a difference then itās time or if inside influences start to happen like maybe the 8 y/o is talking with his friends and just casually say " yes, I have that chalk too when me and my sis are in the tub we draw on the walls" for example, and his friends all make fun of him cuz he ether takes a bath with babies or he takes baths with his sister, its more of a percaution from embarrassment, but like I said, when they start noticing then itās time
Anyone that doesnāt find this ok is the strange one. Mine still jump in the bath together sometimes at 8 and 7
Whenever one or both expresses discomfort.
Whenever they decide they want their privacy.

I think consent is what needs to be considered here. Even at a very young age, children need to be taught about consent. When a child is too young to understand, they cannot properly give consent. I agree with a commenter above, perhaps bathing together in the buff is something that shouldnāt be done if we are considering teaching children about consent and boundaries. Bathing is something done to get clean. If itās for playtime, put swim suits on them the same way you would if they were swimming in a pool.
