At what age has/will your DAUGHTER stop showering with DAD?

I don’t have a daughter, but we want one! I think a little baby can be held by her dad in the shower, but it doesn’t make sense when she can start asking questions.

When it no longer feels comfortable for them. Ours is 2yo and will sometimes point out or ask about why her dad's body looks different than hers but quickly moves on to playing again, that's normal. I don't have a specific cut-off, just whenever it seems like she isn't enjoying it as she used to is or when she becomes more aware/curious of differences is when we'll stop their shared bath time.

If dad is uncomfortable or baby is asking question OR preferring to stand instead of being held-not usually the best height😂

Personally, im at @FairyMother 🦖🌸 's position. My daughter has asked and we introduced boy girl and then she moves on to playing again. Im grateful for dad's help anyway because she hates having her hair washed, so he mostly has her carried (addressing @Brittany s height topic). And yes, as @Kassidi said, it's not supposed to be weird!

My daughter is 4.5 years and still hops in the shower with her dad. Just be until she decides she doesn’t want to anymore

I think I stop showering with my dad at like 6 but it wasn’t a everyday thing for me cuz I’m the only sibling thats parent are co parenting but my father alway had boxers on and he did the same with my 2 brother and now my son ALWAYS in boxers

My 1.5 year old pointed to his pubes and called them spider webs 🤣

my daughter has never asked about that

it’s called privacy and dignity. A man has a right to that, his private parts are his private parts for a reason. Nothing sexual about keeping them hidden from your kids.
Plus kids do get curious, like my 22month old daughter would touch her 3month old brother balls knowing it’s different. Imagine her doing that to her dad.. no, just no.
Boundaries starts young

My husband doesn’t shower with our kids often because it’s a sensory nightmare for him and they just prefer to bath but I feel like it would be fine until they felt like it wasn’t same goes for me

hahahaha this is so funny because i occasionally shower with my son who’s now 3 years old, and i remember like a year ago i jumped in the shower with him to make bedtime quicker bcos i didn’t want to shower after he went to bed as i knew id be tired, and he pointed to my pubes and said “dirty” 😭😭😭 i explained no it’s just hair, but he thought i had a dirty vajayjay hahaha

Remembering back when they were little I think around 6. Then they liked independent showers. I still shower and get naked around my 5yr nearly 6yr boy. He asks questions yeah but he doesn’t look like he’s uncomfortable otherwise he wouldn’t walk in to me when I’m naked in the room and chat to me lol

I think when baby is too big to hold, they're too big to shower together.

i also think questions can be a good thing. our three year old knows the terms “vagina” “penis/willy”. he will ask “why do you have a vagina and i have a willy?” and so i explain girls are born with vaginas, and boys are born with willys which is also called a penis. we use this as an opportunity as well to teach him early on about consent. so i will explain to him “your willy is yours to touch, no one else is allowed to touch your willy except when mummy and daddy are helping you clean yourself. you’re not allowed to touch my vagina because it is my private part of my body”. i work in childcare, and i just believe that the more a young child knows about their body and what is acceptable and what isn’t, the less they are to be abused in secret. he will be able to communicate effectively with me about if he were ever to be touched inappropriately x

Personally we do 3+ *for being naked* I still bathe with my 5 year old boy ill just wear a swim suit

My son is nearly 2 and it’s not weird for him to shower with ME so as long as my future daughter wants to hop in with Dad, I’ll allow it. We actually plan on an assembly line for shower nights where dad will shower first alone and then I’ll go in and we will have 1 kid at a time to get washed up with me, switch, and Dad will do lotion/jammies/teeth. He’s always preferred doing the after bath routine anyways and it’ll just be what works for us:)

I don’t think a daughter should ever shower with their dad like ever

why not? He’s her dad 🤔

I don’t know it could stem from my childhood trauma but I just feel like it’s inappropriate for a father to shower WITH a daughter I understand giving them a bath but to be in the shower with them is awkward to me !

My husband only showered with our daughter a couple times as a newborn, our daughter is 17 months and only takes baths. My husband also no longer changes clothes in front of her. I think this is mostly because she’s overly curious and when I changed in front of her the other day I was sitting on my bed putting my bra on and she grabbed both of my nipples and almost tried pulling them off lol.

My 3.5y old still showers with her dad. Only weird if you make it weird…🤷🏼‍♀️

My daughter doesn’t shower with neither of us 😬😂 maybe once or twice in her life and she was a baby but especially not now that she’s a toddler. She ask a lot of questions and personally I think it’s kinda of weird when she can take a bath by herself

oh no, definitely both parents deserve privacy. It’s just the question was catered to dad and daughter.
How old is your boy? I mean my son is still under 6 months so long way to go, but I know for sure once he’s aware of body parts, I won’t let him see my vagina. But same with my daughter btw, I would at least cover up.
Yes I agree teaching them about body parts, and I do teach my daughter not to touch her brother’s balls and they do bathe together because they both still young. But as for me and the kids father, I don’t believe kids should be seeing our private parts. Because at some point they need to learn that those are private and not anyone can just look at them.

relatable with the nipple part. But I don’t see breasts as private as vagina, hence I don’t mind showing that bit.

I don’t mind as much either especially since we share the same anatomy, I’m mostly just wary for my own safety lmao

I don’t shut it down. I don’t mind answering her questions but she likes to stare and try to grab things which makes it awkward and uncomfortable for my husband. For me it’s not as uncomfortable because I get dressed in front of her but for him it’s weird and understandable

oh I definitely want my kids to feel comfortable about those topics with me, I’m not against it or find it taboo to talk about.

Being honest, if someone doesn't feel right about their partner showering with their own daughter (of course when they are a baby/toddler) then why are you with them if you don't have that trust?

I haven’t seen any comments about not trusting the father…

My man can’t even shower with our two year old son or his whem will be in his face lol. So yeah it’s a no for me with a little girl especially

it’s not a trust thing.. it’s weird if your husband willingly just wants to take a shower with his daughter. With any of his kids really🤷🏾‍♀️😂.

Maybe weird to you, not to other families. For our family we share baths, I usually share a bath with our children but if I want a break from bath time or if he'd like a bath himself then he'll offer to do it, we keep the door open and rely on each for towels or help getting out. Many cultures and families willingly share in bath time together without it being weird, just depends on what your family is comfortable with.

Yes! My parents bathed me and my sister together until I was almost 10yo to save water and we loved sharing bath time too

it’s the child looking😂 my daughter is literally at eye level with our private parts. Maybe yall have nice really big showers so yall can spread out. But I have 2 regular sized showers and I’m going to use both of them. She has her own bathroom and we have our own bathroom. And I’m not super tight on money and time where I have to take a shower with my kid. Does she like to be in the bathroom with us when we’re in the shower? Yes. Does she step in ? Hell no, that’s personal time. And I get being comfortable in front of your kids. I’m VERY comfortable in front of them. But some things parents need to by themselves. Not everything is a group effort 🤷🏾‍♀️

It's individual I suppose. Maybe when they are old enough to be able to *remember* it. I wouldn't want a memory of my dad's parts in the shower personally 🤣.
My son wasn't getting in his bath yesterday and I KNOW that he will get in if I get in first so I hopped in and right on cue he was like "wait for me mummy I want a bath too!" and got in. He's three. He didn't seem to pay any attention to my body really. Other than some squishy parts which he grabbed and said "squishy squishy" 🤣🤣🤣 which again I am quite happy with!

Around 5 I drew a PP on a horse because “you have one grandpa why can’t the horse have one?” So maybe before 5
