Is it ok for a parent or older person to bath with their child? This question is mostly about parents but i'll open it up to uncles/aunts etc. I was on facebook and there was a picture of a man bathing with his daughter(im assuming around the age of 3 or 4?) and it was titled "what is wrong with this picture!". I didnt think much of it. I've never bathed with my parents(adleast not as long as I can remember) but i've watched plenty of anime where parents would bath with their kids so I assumed it was something not everyone did but not a bad thing to do, even without anime I never considered it a bad thing myself. Alot of people were cursing at he man, calling him a pedo, saying his kids need to be taken away from him and some others were making the argument that a man shouldnt bath with his daughter and should only bath with his son(and mom with daughter). I chalked this up as a cultural thing but I could be wrong so I wanted to see what others thought.

Where do you stand on this? Do you think its fine for parents to bath with their child? Child being 2 years and older. Do you think its ok for a parent to bath with their child of the opposite gender? What about others like sister/brothers/aunts/uncles etc.

Depends on how hot they are.

I'm going to need you to check yourself into the closet nuthouse you can find.

OT: it's all about perception, I personally don't see anything wrong with bathing with a infant child if their yours.

A parent is allowed to bath with their child provided they are still considered a toddler....its starts to cross a line when you get into child adolescents.

Only if they are young to the point where they need supervision in a bathtub

OT: I suppose. I mean these days everyone is just blowing things out of proportion, it's a world filled with overly dramatic individuals.

Some guy post a vid of how his dog likes to watch him eat, and gets called out for being a "dog abuser" simply because his dog kept looking away whenever he turned around. Somethings are just not that big of a deal, same goes with a parent washing their child. It's been happening for millennias

All those people above are set to want is morally normative or accepted by society, but in actuality, there is no age limit permitting parents to bath with their children.

It's not bad or unhealthy, but why would they need to?

if the kid can do it on their own but the parent demands that they must take a bath with their child then yes, that is weird as hell
if i had a kid i would personally cover my naughty bits if i had to be inside the shower with them

Where do you stand on this? Do you think its fine for parents to bath with their child? Child being 2 years and older. Do you think its ok for a parent to bath with their child of the opposite gender? What about others like sister/brothers/aunts/uncles etc.

First, the bold and underlined part:
What does the ***/gender have to do with this? Do you imply that, for example, there is a higher chance that a mother would rather rape her child if it was a boy than a girl? The other way around with the father?
That's stupid if you ask me.

In general:
I think it is absolutely okay. When I was little, maybe up to 3 years old or so, my sister and I bathed with my dad and my grandparents and I don't see why this would be a problem. If I had children, I'd do the same.
It has nothing to do with sexuality, but with a very strong bond of family-relationship.

I've read it and already knew that drama with the picture too. I still think that the ***/gender of the child has nothing to do with this. D:
