To what age would you let your child shower with you?

I would say until the child is uncomfortable. It could be different with every child.



Yeah, you need a poll for parents only because everything changes when you are a parent.
 
It depends on the child and the parent. There is no set standard for this sort of thing, although with the Democrats in control Congress I'm sure it won't be long before the Fed is making all our decisions for us.
 
I'm much more creeped out at the thought of my daughter showering with me than if I had a son showering with my wife.

Yes, yes, don't be honest with your child about anatomy. Let them learn from some kid on the playground who gets to watch his daddy rape his mommy every evening. You don't have to have the definitive sex talk with your kid to explain body parts.
 
If I had a girl, I don't think i would ever shower with her (bathing her at a young age is obviously ok). I dunno, just doesn't feel right I guess. Let the wife handle it 😛
 
I've never showered with my son. I gave him baths until he was old enough to wash himself. I would check in on him until he was grown up enough to be shy when I poked my head in.

 
My daughter is 4 and sometimes to save time I just have her jump in the shower with me. I quick clean her up and hand her off to my wife to get dried off, etc. before I clean myself off.

But I think we're going to stop that because we don't need any long term memories of showering with dad in her head. lol

Sounds about what I'd do.

Why is that a bad memory for her to have?

Loving and nurturing memories are the best kinds of memories for a child to have - kids that don't have those memories are the ones that are screwed up and have intimacy issues. Your daughter will remember that when she was young daddy used to bathe her and that she was safe and protected with you, that's all.

go overboard much you retard? 😕

i'm all for calling it what it is, a vagina, breasts, a penis, gonads. i just don't think a kid should shower with you if he/she can tug on it. i didn't say not to explain anatomy to your child. 😕
