Camping with a friend?

Question

I'm 13 and over the summer (when i was 12) I went with my friend and his parents and we got really dirty one day from playing with a fire pit and my friends mom had us get naked at the camp site and she gave us each a bath in a stupid wash tub on a picknet bench. It was stupid. I told my parents and they didn't care. Is that right?

Answer 1

Zach -

I'm guessing you and your friend are still little kids. I've got a son about your age and what she did it is okay. The ash from the fire could be pretty dangerous i'm guessing if you both had it all over you.

In terms of the bath, I'm guessing all she did was have you both strip down and have you sit or stand in the tub one at a time and probably poured a bunch of cups of water over you and scrubed you with a wash cloth and a little soap.

My son is 11 almost 12 and and he has a long skater haircut and I still wash his hair when he is either in the tub or shower, so its no big deal.

If my son went camping and this happened to him I wouldn't think twice.

Answer 2

She was probably trying to be nice. She just wanted you two to be clean, its not liek you two took a bath together. You could of politely told her you could wash your self up. She probably still washes her son.

Answer 3

most probably she did not see any harm in that. if she did not do any 'dirty' things to you when she was bathing you, she just did it to be nice. forget about it!

if there will be a next time, just tell her that you rather was yourself and take cover where there will be no one else to look at you.

Answer 4

shes probably used to doing it to her own son and didnt realise. at your age though, she should have let you do it yourself. if it ever happens again, just tell her youd rather wash yourself.
i dont think she meant any harm by it.

Answer 5
