Not in hot weather.

Twice a week sounds too little?

Every other day in the winter, unless they've been to the park in which case they get a bath before bed regardless of the day, and I try to do it everyday in the summer.

About three times a week for the two older ones. The toddler and baby get like 4-5 times a week.

around 3 times a week, unless it's really hot or very dirty from the park etc. I bathe them more often.

3x week. If its a crazy week sometimes 2x. kids are 2 and 5. I really think it should be min 3.

every night - kids are smelly after a whole day of either being in playgroup or throwing up formula with a giant smile plastered over their faces!!!!!!

depends. when my kides were small babies - every night unless for some reason it's impossible. Now theyre almost 1 and almost 4, so it's every 2nd night for the 4 yr old, almost every night for the baby. in the real hot summer weathers, every night for both (except motzei shbbos, and sometimes I'll skip thursday night)

Every second day in the winter: Sunday morning, Monday Night, Wednesday night and Friday morning.
In the summer I do it as needed which is usually every single day or about 5-6 times a week.

6 times a week. I try to bathe each night, but it usually ends up being 6x a week.

older kids - 4 times a week (very similar to first lady's)
baby - every night as part of "night time routine"

Of course! But my kids are filthy from a whole day. I wouldn't want to go to bed dirty. Why should they? Maybe other people's children aren't as messy as mine - all I know is that my kids NEED their nightly baths.

I do and I don't find it exhausting. (Dd is 3 ba"h.) It's part of the routine and helps us both wind down. Dd enjoys the bath, so we get some good laughs together right before bedtime. Though some nights I just wish I didn't have to (and that's the night that I usually don't.)

Me too.
But even during the winter, I tend to bathe them more like 4-5 times a week as needed.
And during the summer I hate that they go to sleep Shabbos after playing outside all day without taking a bath.
