I don't think it's weird. I bathed with both my parents till I was about 6. It's not like their going to remember anything that young and it's a great bonding experience. Besides it kills two birds with one stone with bathing two at once. As far as the whitey tighty's I'm not sure what to think about that. I don't think it matters much at this age.

It is not wierd at all it is more weird that your wife never bathed with her babies. When they are older than 3 it needs to stop. Ask your wife to do some research, and read the book The Healing Power of the Human Touch!

You sound like a fun dad. I still shower with my 4 year old son sometimes to save time. You're normal. The question here should be "what issues are your ex wife dealing with that makes this behavior odd to her?"

I took baths and showers with my daughter and don't think there is a problem with it. I like that you cover up... Just be aware of your child's comfort level. As they get older they become more private. My daughter at bout three became very conservative, and shy when it came to nudity. She didn't even like to see a boy without a shirt... So I wouldn't worry about it. Your intentions and actions are good

I don't think its odd at all, and better that you wear underwear. But after a certain age, you might want to encourage them to bathe alone. Like run their bathwater and let them get in, then check on them every few minutes.

it is weird, but it's the only way to get my 10 month old clean and have her safe in the tub. I have a bad back, so I don't thinks it's bad.

As long as you're wearing.....undergarments or swimwear i don't think its weird ....its probably more enjoyable for her than you being on the outside......sounds like she just wants to complain about something

i dont think its weird......especially if you are wearing underwear......i think it would be weird if you were taking them with your daughter...that should be left up to mommy if you are in the tub with them.
