So I'm sitting here bathing my daughters and I'm thinking about what bath time will be like with 3 kids then I thought, am I going to bathe them together when my son gets big enough for the bath tub. What are your opinions? What do you do with siblings of different gender? Something I never though about but my oldest is 3. She'll obviously see him while I'm changing him but then when is she too old to bathe with him?
Re: Bath Time
I honestly don't see a problem bathing children of different sexes together, especially at such a young age. They'll probably get too big for all 3 to fit before it becomes awkward because of body awareness.
I'd probably just answer questions as they arise, and explain the difference anatomically between boys & girls.
My 3yo DS and 4.5yo DD bathe together.
DD is aware that boys and girls have different parts - and beyond that we haven't had any issues. If she expresses a need for more privacy, we will respect that. Right now, the 2 of them love running the house naked screaming "we're all peach", so I don't think there is an issue yet.
My DD and DS will be sharing a room for another 3 years as well - until #3 is 3yo and will either share with DD or DS (team green).
We figure that by the time DD is 8yo she will either have her own room or share with baby #3 if it is a girl.
