When do the kids stop taking baths together?

[Amy]

I have a 5 1/2 yr dd and a 3 yr ds who still enjoy taking baths together. Nudity between them is not a issue at all because ds is ALWAYS naked and ds could careless about anyone else's body! LOL

I have explained to dd that she is not allowed to touch his private parts because they belong to him and that is his special part of his body(and touches them enough!) ROFL!!!!! I have also explained no one is allowed to touch her's either for the same reason. This is perfectly fine for her and she still really likes to take a bath with him.

Is there any age when this is no longer consider proper?

I imagine 18 and 15 wouldn't be good! LOL

I think my kids stopped when ds was 6 and dd 2 cause SHE became very fascinated with his privates! For a while, I let them wear their bathing suits and bath together cause they really had fun together.
We mainly stopped bathing them together because ds felt uncomfortable. I would just follow your kids' lead.

I think that when either of them start to feel uncomfortable with it, it is time to separate them. Mine bathed together until they were about 4 and 6 I think.

ds and dd have never (well, except maybe once or twice) bathed toghether. dd was already four when ds came along and was already very particular on how things were done. She is very into routine no matter what she does. Even changing the brand of shampoo can set her off.
I'm with the others. Just take the cues from the kids and watch for when they become uncomfortable with it.

Our boys (7 and 5) still have fun taking baths together...but I can see it ending! The 7 year old usually just wants to hop in the shower and do a quick clean up...while the 5 year old still wants to play in the tub. We're following their lead. (Luckily they are both boys...same equipment! LOL)

Two boys for me too. Eight years apart so needless to say they never bathed together. I've got a picture of me and my brother on the front porch at GM's in an old wash tub. We were about 4 and 3. Follow their lead. Modesty will start to become an issue.

dd is almost 7 and ds is 2. they have so much fun in the tub that i have to drag them out of it.

we'll keep this up until either one of them wants it to end

with the others, my two, 5 and 3 boy and girl still have a lot of fun in the tub together, neither shows signs of embarrassment, or curiosity to touch the other....so until one gets uncomfortable with the situation....I say keep them together....LOL...less wear and tear on mom too.. :lol:

We followed the kids lead as well. DS is now 9 and DD 5. I'm thinking he was 7 or 8 when he started wanting DD and I out when he went to the bathroom. We took that as a cue to stop her hopping in the tub with him. She still wanders into the room to talk with him while he's taking a bath/shower but we have told her to stop. He hasn't asked her to leave but we figured the bath would be the next modesty issue so told her she needs to leave. She still showers with me. She like to do a shower/bath. I shower with her and leave the tub fill. then she plays for a little while.

My dk's would probably still take baths together if I let them because they love playing in the water. I just don't let them because it takes forever when they do! They probably stopped about a year and a half ago. (dd is 7 and ds is 5 now)
