Shared bath time responsibility

Don’t let the opinions of others mess up what works for you guys!

I have the main responsibility of bathing our daughter because my partner works over nights, when he’s home I still have to do it because she doesn’t like to change it up.

Most of those posts are out of fear that the father will do something bad/they don’t trust him, because the mother has childhood trauma, or the concern that the daughter won’t understand what is appropriate or inappropriate behavior from adults. If your husband is a good man, appropriate with your child and you don’t have that trauma then don’t feel like you have to copy other moms. Those are personal decisions. When she’s older, she can bathe herself but she’s a toddler and it makes sense for her parent to be present. Teach her about appropriate behavior from others and to talk to you if any adult makes her uncomfortable whether it’s family, friends, teacher or anyone else. Listen to your intuition and momma instincts. Anyone I’ve talked to about the topic doesn’t trust men enough to bathe a girl. It’s totally your decision.

I dont see anything different between a father bathing his daughter and a mother bathing her son. It's not weird unless you make it weird, and why would you? (Not saying YOU, but in general)

By the time they're at an age where they might prefer being bathed by mom or your husband might even start to feel more comfortable with you bathing her, they will likely be old enough to do most of it themselves anyways. Being monitored for safety still, but able to scrub their own bodies.

Honestly, if someone is actually worried about their husband bathing his own daughter, that would concern me more. 🤷🏽‍♀️
