Was giving my almost 4 year old a bath and her boy cousin (3.5) was running in and out. We have him a lot and for the first time I wondered if I should stop it. They go to the bathroom together all the time too.

Wish my kids had cousins their age 🥲 but anyway lol, I would probably stop now.

Wtf…absolutely never!!

Why even start that.

I grew up with my boy cousin. He’s 2 years older than me. We lived in the same house, slept in the same room even. We took baths together until I was 4 and he was 6. Kids don’t sexualize each other, adults do that. It needs to stop when they start questioning private parts, same as you would with siblings of the opposite sex.

I’d say I would stop whenever they start to get more curious about other peoples bodies and parts, and/or whenever either of them shows any signs of embarrassment or being uncomfortable. Me and my sisters and stepsisters bathed together and I didn’t feel weird about it until like 5 or 6 years old and then we didn’t do it anymore. I would just check with his parents as well so everyone is comfortable!
