Should a 7 and 10 year old take a bath together?

That’s a no. But that’s my opinion

NO- don’t let them shower 2gether…u should already know that…do u want them as they get older 2 take a shower with the opposite sex & get knocked up- girls a lot of the time take the easy way out & get abortions & they ever ask the parents- is.it the babies awful that the pa

Everyone has their own level of boundaries and opinions. My son is 8 and of his own has starting wanting privacy when dressing/undressing so him & his sister who is 6 have stopped bathing together a while back. As much as I believe in not making a big deal of things, I believe it is healthy especially in today’s world that a child learns from a certain age that privacy is ok and in certain situations essential. Starting it naturally from the age they of their own feel the need for this makes it a natural thing for the child without making a big deal of it! So I wouldn’t be ok with it given their ages and opposite genders!

parents r just babies themselves-

Too old . Nothing else need to be said. At that age bodies are changing and developing

Why is everyone so quick to judge others? They are siblings, innocent age and trust me it’s nice that they actually seem to get along as I have 11yr old girl and 9yr old boy and they are like Tom & Jerry and no they do not bathe together but it’s every Individual’s choice what they do with their children as long as it’s safe :wink:

Yeah no that’s not ok. Really weird

They’re a little bit too old to still be bathing together. Time for separate baths.

Too old to be in together im sure they want their own privacy their bodies are changing. My daughter has been wanting her own privacy in the bath since she was 5, doesn’t want me or her dad in the bathroom with her until she’s to wash her hair and needs some help rinsing it off

Most kids want their privacy and alone time. These ages seem too close together. :thinking:

Under five is fine, but 10 and 7 opposite sex is kinda not so cool but they are still innocent. When my eldest was 10 she would help me and shower my 4year old boy. But once he turned like five only helped with washing hair. So I guess it really depends on the kids and how corrupt they have gotten from society and how much of their innocence they have lost.

The fact so many people say this shouldn’t happen, really shows just how much society sexualizes our kids as so many fall right into it Simple things like this are made to be a big deal when 1. They shouldnt. 2. It’s none of anyone’s business anyway .These kids are siblings for heavens sake. It’s normal for them. I’m sure they don’t look into it any further than exactly what it is,… A bath. When it becomes weird or awkward, they’ll make it known. Until then, let them enjoy being kids while they can and actually wanna be around each other. My advice, mind your business. You’re not bringing anything but negativity to the situation tbh. As adults we can make and set all boundaries at an age appropriate level. If everyone would be more honest with their kids while keeping healthy communication an everyday thing, parents wouldn’t 2nd guess what they taught to their own kids. We’re all naked under our clothes. I’ll never understand why so much Shame is shown

I bathed my grandchildren together when they were 3 and 5.

Do we do it in our household? No. In some cultures family bathing is quite common and not taboo at all. If the children are not uncomfortable and no one is FORCING them to bathe together, I do not see an issue— to each their own.

Age has nothing to do with it, it becomes inappropriate when the kids feel uncomfortable doing it. If her kids are still happy to share a bath then no problem.

We have an 11yo boy, a 7yo boy and a 2yo girl. My 2 and 7 yo share a bath still. However, my 11yo has recently started bathing alone as he no longer feels comfortable sharing. X

To some family’s that isn’t weird. People sexualize everything, some people don’t and being naked isn’t a big deal. I think it’s more based on the kids are they uncomfortable ? If there uncomfortable then it’s inappropriate. This family may just have normalized being nude and didn’t prioritize naked to being sexual

Can I just add that all our kids know is what they’ve been taught. Period. We as parents, choose what they think, generally speaking, way more than most realize.

I mean I would still take occasional showers with my sister when I was 10 and she was 7, but idk about opposite genders… I am assuming your friend must have well established boundaries if they’re open like that. But at the same time, the kids have most likely been doing this literally their whole lives, so it’s probably just normal to the kids

That is absolutely to old… especially the 10 year old… I don’t care if it’s the same sex or opposite sex …thats to old… a 7 and 10 year old need to take a bath alone…

At that age, they shouldn’t be bathing together, especially since they’re the opposite sex. I’d definitely be concerned and I would’ve said something, but that’s just me.

It’s weird to me for sure. If they were the same gender I’d say it’s whatever but different genders is super weird.

That’s a bit inappropriate… Especially since the 10 year is in 5th grade I’m assuming and depending on their school district heading to Jr high in 6th grade So yes, that’s a very odd thing to be allowing.

Unless one or the other is uncomfortable I don’t see the problem. They are SIBLINGS, it’s what they have done their whole life, I know I still bathed and showered with my younger sister occasionally up until I got my period and then I stopped (I just turned 8 )

Even now both my kids (6yr girl and 4yr boy) are still bathing together and can continue too until one of them tells me they don’t want too anymore

Definitely to old. It’s up to us to teach our children boundaries and privacy. This is unacceptable. They shouldn’t even share a room let alone share a bath. It’s not sexualizing children. It’s starting fact. Kids are curious. They will act out their curiosities.

My son is special needs and he’s 6. If I don’t want him to dive out the window or run out the door while I’m bathing her, I HAVE to put him in the tub with his 3 year old sister. There is only one of me and I can’t be in 2 places watching both of them at once. Some people must be the worlds most perfect parents, but are the same ones who would say “omg where was the mom!!!” If my son eloped during his sisters bath or I had to leave my 3 year old alone in the bathroom to chase him down the street.

I think you should have just said oh we don’t do that In our family and kindly state why
My mom forced me to take baths with my brother I hated it but it was a rule and it’s an old school one I’m sorry

To blast like this is weird
To sexuality it more than it presents itself is weird
Not in your mind but again publicly asking . You know your boundaries but you seem like you need this to be sexualized for reassurance it’s weird! Boundaries are boundaries COMMUNICATE :woman_shrugging:

Respect lost itself good here.

My boys are 8 and 3 and they take baths together all the time. They’re both boys so I don’t know if I’d feel different if they were opposite sex and older. My 8 year old does already crab sometimes that he wants to shower now but they have fun playing together. If it works for them I’d mind my business though. Not your kids, so why does it matter to you?

I was taking baths with my cousins all of us that age. None of us thought anything of it and my aunt told us why we had different parts. We were not ashamed to be naked.

You have more to worry about with two girls on that age!!! Little girls love kissing in bathtub. Had to stop My 5 year old and my 7 year old sister. I asked where they learned it and apparently my parents don’t watch the 10 year Olds phone who was watching porn lmao
