My 3 year old is old enough to know how to wash herself. She is tall enough to reach the faucets and knows the right temperature to put the water on. She refuses to do this. She will walk around stank and nasty waiting for me to wash her stankin butt but I refuse to do it. She will entering preschool soon and needs to learn some responsibility of how to wash her own butt. Why should I have to bathe her? That is not my problem its hers.!!

You should continue to supervise your child until the age of around 5 or 6 if not longer. 3 years old is entirely too young to be running bath water, or washing themselves up. Please do your job as a mother and bathe your baby.

Three!!! I little nephew is 5 and I still set in the bathroom with him while he bathes. I don't want him to slip and fall or turn the hot water on and get burned. I know that he can do it all by himself. At the age of three she doesn't know that bathing is good for you. Try sitting the in bathroom while she bathes. If you don't have time to take 10 min out of your day and give your daughter a bath, your schedule is too tight.

Her is a thought-give up your parental rights and let her go to a good home! I am sure some childless couple will gladly give your child proper care and will understand better how to handle a 3 year old. Then you won't have to worry about it. And I am way serious about this-just let her keep going dirty and child protective will come and take her away! It is called neglect and I have seen families I work with lose kids for this very thing-and rightly so.

i imagine each and every SAHM feels like that to be straightforward. merely attempt to get the dishes, laundry and youngsters dealt with and each and every thing else is merely more advantageous artwork that ought to be executed throughout naps and so on. i recognize it would properly be problematic (Im in user-friendly words 22 and performance 2 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous twins) so i trust ya, yet merely carry in there. attempt to make play dates at your position so that you'll get issues executed at the same time as the youngsters are drowsing/taking area in with different youngsters. And that's mandatory to pamper your self somewhat. Watch a movie, paint, examine a e book, some thing for a minimum of one/2 an hour an afternoon to keep your sanity. strong success!

My kids are 4 and 7 and I STILL sit in the bathroom watching each of them while they wash up. Kids move so fast that you never know what could happen. Your child is 3! I cannot believe you refuse to help her in the bathroom. I sometimes have to help my 4 and 7 year old scrub themselves fully because they can't reach or they overlook certain areas. It is EXTREMELY dangerous to leave a 3yo in the bathroom unattended. You can get in serious trouble for that. Or worse, something awful can happen to your child!

I personally think it is your problem, you are her mother. She will have problems until she has moved out of your house and until then she is your problem.
You can teach independance while still guiding her and being supportive. She may be resisiting because she can clearly see that you are not caring for her. She is ONLY three, three year olds still need their mother to help them do daily things and turning on the water and making sure it is not too hot, climbing in and out of the tub and making sure she is safe is YOUR responsibility. I have to be honest I am a little nervous about what other things you think she should be doing on her own and through the rest of her life when you will abandon your duties as a mother. I hope you will see that mothering your child does not stop after they start walking.

OK, I have a feeling that you are the same chick that asked opinions about piercing your daughters tongue. If this is just to get a discussion going or to see if you can get a rise out of people, BRAVO, you have succeeded. Nice.
However, if you are asking these questions in a serious manner, I pray that God watch over your child to make sure that she has a long SAFE life and that child services invades your home like the Allies invaded France on D day and takes your child to a place where you aren't. My suggestion, STERILIZATION!!!! NOW!!!

"OMG", I'm so thankful that you were not my mother. Girl, remember that she is only three!!! I think children should be supervised while taking a bath at the least until the age of 5. At three they they don't know how to clean themselves and it's a parent job to help them learn and this can only happen when you show them (lovingly) over and over again. And you should always praise them for what they can do and teach them what they can't do. You sound like a very non loving parent!!!!

you may be one of those lucky few who is blessed with a child who is " independent and responsible" at age 3 but a lot of children are not even potty trained by this age. Dont try to make your daughter grow up too fast, are you seriously already tired of being a mother to her?? you really got yourself into a mess then because in case nobody told you, this is a long term commitment and she will constantly be looking to you for guidance and help. you really should hang around with other mothers of 3 year olds to get a better grasp on what to expect of your child at this age.

ok, you are a total idiot!!! a three year old is not old enough to "take responsibility" as you so ignorantly put it to keep herself clean!!!! Part of your job as a parent is to take care of your childs hygiene. Do the world a favor you lazy person, get your tubes tied!!! people like you should not even have kids!!!
