at what age should i stop bathing my children together? we have a large bathtub, and since my son and daughter were little we would always have them take a bath together.
it saves me time, and water, and no one seems to mind... but since girls mature faster than boys, my son has started asking, innocently, why his sister is growing breasts...
when will he figure this out? i figured his friends would have talked with him about girls by now, and im concerned he might become a homosexual if he isnt informed.

That was good. Even I didn't see that ending coming.

If your daughter is starting to mature, maybe she should take her own baths of showers. I remember I stopped bathing with my sister when I was around five or so. I really don't know what the norm is, if I had a large tub and two kids, I would probably be asking the same thing. Good luck.
The first guy was right. He claims his son is 16 and his daughter is having sex, so he is probably being an @ss.

You should stop bathing them together around 1st grade. If your daughter is developing, it is past time to stop.
How old is your son? Why are you worried about him being a homosexual? most boys do not notice girls until they get their hormones around age 11 - 14 depending. You need to talk to your son and do not let his friends give him mis information. You cannot let the peer group do the "talks". IF you are too embarrassed then you need to have a trusted friend or relative talk to your children.

You should stop bathing them together when they start asking questions. Like my daughter is 11 and my oldest son will soon be 8 and I don't see letting them take baths together. Not even with my 3 year old

I'd say now! But really it all depends on your children..........I mean as soon as one of them notices the other notices differences in the other sibling, I'd say now is the time to stop since you're son has noticed the difference on his sister.....Plus if you're daughter is already growing breasts, then ITS DEFINITELY TIME! I was 6 and my brother was 3 when my mother stopped bathing my little brother and I together. He only had to ask once how come i didn't have the same privates as he did, and my mom decided it was time to stop.

How old are your kids? If your son is starting to ask questions it's time to stop bathing them at the same time and teach them to bathe themselves.
If you're concerned about your son's future behaviour, talk to him yourself and answer any questions he might have. You're a much better source of information for him than his friends are.

You're right, bzzzz.
this one is a jerk.
His daughter is old enough to have a boyfriend, but yet she's still taking a bath with her brother. How strange.
His son is old enough that he feels he has to confront him, but yet he's taking a bath with his sister. That's strange too.
And he wants to know if he can get pregnant if the guy pulls out. That's even stranger than the other two.

if your daughters old enough to develop breasts then you should obviously stop bathing them together no matter how convinient you find it. and , no your son wont become a homosexual but he might become perverted. and iam sure even your daughter will start feeling uncomfortable and even she might ask you some questions.
so, a simple solution to the whole thing is to stop bathing them together.
take care.

If your daughter is growing breasts, this should have stopped YEARS ago. I think you are the one that is misinformed. Don't count on his friends to talk about girls to him, because if he gets his information that way, he will most certainly be misinformed. Talk to him yourself. That way you know he'll get the correct information. Turning out homosexual has nothing to do with getting the wrong information. You have this all mixed up. Get him out of the tub with his sister, or he'll be a PERVERT.

If your daughter is growing breasts, the maybe you should show her a little respect, and give her some privacy. If his friends are talking about girls, and stuff like that, then it's time to talk to him yourself. They sound old enough to start having showers by themselves anyway.

i've got been advised approximately 10000 circumstances that i'm no longer a real Christian (TM) because of the fact my ideals do no longer fall in with the extremist social gathering line. I share a number of your perspectives. I carry citizenship in an earthly united states (america). there are various paths to God. I take part in the two Christian and non-Christian rites. i'm no longer terrified of non-Christian impacts. I refuse to apply my faith as an excuse for bigotry and hatred. besides, congratulations for no longer attempting to shove the Divine right into a one-length-suits-all field.
