Sisters bathing together

Posted: Thu, Nov 03 2005, 12:30 pm Post subject: Sisters bathing together

Until what age would you let sisters bathe together? My 8-year-old loves to bathe with her two-year-old sister. I'm hoping she'll eventually start to feel uncomfortable as they both grow older, but I'm not sure I want to wait until she does. What do you think?

I think it's no big deal! don't make an issue out of it, and it won't be.
my sister and I bathed together/or at least walked in on each other to chat for sure till we were about 8-10(I think).

My 10 and 11 year old dds still bathe together happily. I don't see any reason for them not to.

Yeah, they'll get uncomfortable eventually on their own- about 12 - 13 in my experience.

I bathed with my sis until I was about 11-12.

not a problem, I think. my 8 and 6 yrs old love to chat while one is taking a shower, and the other is drying herself. or taking a bath together.

Remember, boys go to the Mikva together through adulthood.

They don't converse in there?!? Which men's Mikva do you go to?!? Wink

They do, and they feel like it's normal- it's a rare boy who waits till nobody else is there. I don't think it's a bad thing. They're far more comfortable with their bodies.

My boys go to Mikveh with my husband. It took time for me to come to terms with that, too. But with girls it's different and they are supposed to develop a feeling of Tznius, even with their sisters. But I guess that can still wait a few years.

men go to the mikveh for a social outing . to catch up on the latest etc .
just joking

my hubby refuses to take my son to the mikveh bc of it. at what age is it proper for a boy to go to the mikveh. 12 or 13 ?

what about boys vs one girl. I have a 6 yr old boy and 3.5 yr boy and 18 months boy. but I only have one girl . and she is 5 yrs old. my hubby wants her to start to take her baths by herselve . not with any other boys around. does anybody think that this is a good idea?

We started giving separate baths with my almost 4 yr old girl and 18 month old boy. We just felt that things were getting a little to frisky in there, so it was time...

I think girls from age 10 should bathe separately, so that when they develope you don't have to make such a big deal aboout bathing separately.
I have k"ah 5 boys ages 7 and under and I bathe them all together! Apart from the fact that they all have soooooo much fun together, splashing and playing, etc, it just so gorgeous to watch! Even my 4 month old baby has a ball! Laughing

Not a big deal at all at the age of eight. ALthough once they hit puberty or adolenscnce I would put a stop to it.

I have 2 boys (3 & 2) then a baby girl and my boys need their "space" in the bath so I don't think she will ever make it in with them. The boys are such busy bodies who needs questions?!
As for 2 sisters taking a bath together - I don't see a problem with it as long as they are OK with it. If they were 15 and taking baths together then yes but til 10-11 for sure it's fine, imo!

How about a two year old girl and a 9 month old boy? I bathe each one seperately and it makes it harder for me. Could I bathe them together? and if yes till what age?
