There’s nothing wrong with triplets in junior high school showering together in the morning to save

By middle school age, kids usually would be starting to want more privacy than this. I agree with you that it seems not quite age-appropriate since by MS age most kids tend to get leery of being naked around others (yes, even in sports locker rooms, in some kids' cases--each kid is different). Maybe they just aren't there yet in terms of maturing into wanting privacy. And if they've always done this they likely think it's what everyone does.

But it's not your role as aunt/kid-sitter to tell the boys this or to judge your sister for allowing it.

If they're still doing it in high school...Yeah, that's a lot of togetherness. Not necessarily icky but lacking in a sense of privacy that would seem natural in the teen years.

All I can say is, thank goodness they are all same sex triplets

It is weird. Tell them to each shower on their own at your house.

I said it is weird but it is very different if they are 11 vs 13. At 13 it is weird. At 11, not so weird. How old are they, OP?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. My sister, an American, is currently in Europe as a visitor for work. I am taking care of her American boys, here in America, while she's gone.

I am more concerned about the lack of reading comprehension displayed then the kids showering together.

How old? I am pretty much ok with any kind of nudity, and I am from Europe but depending on their age, I would think this is weird.

"than" I would be more concerned about your grammar when slamming someone's post.

But hot water heaters in Europe aren't as good as they are here so it doesn't matter what nationality they are. Lack of unlimited hot water is the issue.

Why would hot water heaters in Europe influence the showering behavior of American kids, who live in America, and are currently taking a shower in America?

Because they grew up having to take showers together due to lack of hot water. It's conditioning. I would think the kids would be like "Yay! Look at this big shower and all of the hot water you could ever want" when they got to America.

Jesus Christ, the kids are American.

Shampooing each other makes you sound like a troll.

Was OP watching them shower?

I don’t think you can expect triplets to have the same sense of privacy around each other that they would about strangers in a locker room.

Well yeah that might make sense if the kids were the ones in Europe in the first place.

The only disgusting thing here is your mind. These are brothers who have shared space all their lives, beginning in utero. They’re very close to each other, closer than a singleton could ever imagine, but not in a sexual way. What the hell is wrong with you.
