That is not weird at all. There is a certain age when you should cut kids off from taking showers with other people especially of the opposite sex. I would think it to be a little weird if your neice was showering with a male. There is nothing wrong with you. You are just being protective of your neice/daughter.

As long as they are two little girls and there is no history of a abuse on each others side, then there is nothing wrong with it. There be more of a problem if the other little girl was exposed to abuse cause shes innocent and not knowing any better could get curious with your niece. But if there is no issues on either end, then there is no problems. Kids play togther in the tube all the time. If it was alitle girl and little boy, then I wouldn't suggest it.
Note: The reason I stated the abuse is cause it happened to someone I know and they were both only 5yrs old. But cause the boy was abused, he end up doing the same to another 5yr old.
I re-read your question. Now I am confused. Did you mean grandmother and neice? I thought you meant another little girl that your mother watched plus the niece?
Yeah, I would say that is a little weird, cause why does the child need to be showering during the day?

Personally I think 5 yrs old is too old to be taking a shower with grandma. Your sister should ask your mom not to do this anymore.

So... the mom and grand daughter shower together.... Thats a little weird. My mom would take baths with me till I was about 4 and then stopped, but NEVER showers and she was MY MOM... not gramma... I dont know if its weird, but if the parents of the child dont like it, tell her not to do it.

I showered with my mother at that age, and on occasion I showered with my grandma when I was that age when I stayed over at her home for extended periods of time. It wasn't sexual at all. (ewwww) It was we got in, cleaned ourselves and got out. I needed extra help because I had long hair and at that age I would forget to wash pieces of my body.
I started bathing on my own permanently around 6 1/2.
