when do they stop showering together?

Question

This is my daughter who is 4 and her brother who is 3 they are 13 months apart and are best friends (of course they fight like a normal brother and sister would) anywho I have given them showers together since my son was old enough to bathe with her.....come march and April they will be 4 and 5, they know the difference in girls and boys of course but my question is this the year I start separate showers or are they okay for now? Just wanting some opinions or from mommys who have had close different sex babies :)

Answer

Mine are 3 and 5 and still bathing together. I ask myself all the time if I should make them stop. There are times when one doesn't want to take a bath or if they want to take them apart I always let them.

Answer

Ask them :) If they don't want to take baths together, thats that. I don't think kids think about it the same way as adults do.

Answer

Yeah, I think now is a good time to stop. In the summer/hot days you could put them in together with swim suits in, for a cool down (if you don't have a pool) but other then that I think this is a good age to stop.

Answer

Whenever one of them expressed discomfort with it. I remember my male cousin at some point refused to take a bath with his sister and I because he wasn't comfortable with it, and that was that.

Answer

I would stop. I bathed with my little brother until about 5 and I remember being uncomfortable for a while before it stopped and he was only 3

Answer

They will let you know when they are no longer comfortable bathing together.
My three youngest children still shower together. They are 10 (girl) and 7 year old boy/girl twins.  If they are all happy then there's nothing wrong with it.

Answer

My niece and nephew are 6 and 4 and still bathe together. They think nothing of it. I think it concerns the parent long before it ever crosses the kids' minds.

Answer

I can't remember exactly when my parents stopped bathing myself and my older brother (2 years older) together. Based on family pictures (yeah my parents took pictures all of the time to document life lol) I'd say I was 3 and he was 5 when it stopped. We also moved to a new country around that time. Then I remember getting showers with my mom until around kindergarten age. She taught me how to get a shower alone probably around age 6 or 7. This was over 20 years ago lol

Answer

I decided when I became uncomfortable with my son showering with me when he was 5 that was the end of it. He's now 7 and he'll shower by himself and when he's done and turns off the water I come in and help him get the towel on and get out safety.

Answer

My niece & nephew I don't think ever bathed together.. (their twins). Now they're about to be 7 & they haven't even been allowed to go in the bathroom while the other showers for a while. 
As a side note, they have also had some unusual circumstances, which is what caused my parents to act so drastic.
