How often are you bathing your kids?

Every night.

+2. Every night of their lives.

Pretty much every day

Every day. I don't think daily is really necessary for cleanliness, but it's part of the bedtime routine.

I do think anything less than every other day is kind of gross.

Everyone in our home bathes/showers at least once a day. I am seriously grossed out by some of these answers.

They go out in the backyard and garden. We've pulled out the sand/water table from when they were little and they play with that. They run around barefoot drawing with chalk on the driveway and sidewalks.

Feet get cleaned each evening. Bodies and hair are Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

2x a week lately. They aren’t outside much because the neighborhood kids aren’t social distancing. In normal times we are an every other day family.

11yo at least 3x a week. 4 & 7yo, 2x a week. We’ll probably go up more once it’s warmer outside and they’re in the backyard more. It’s a chore, though, and I can’t do it w/o DH’s help (7yo is autistic so can’t be left alone anywhere, nor obviously can I leave the 4yo in the tub) and he’ll only stop working early enough 1 weeknight to help.

I’m not judging you at all but I’m amazed your 11yo only showers 3x a week, my 7yo has been showering every night for over a year otherwise her armpits smell. Plus I’m sure the hygiene after bathroom use isn’t that great.

Eh... everyone in my house bathes daily.

When my kids were 3, the bathtub was one place I could count on them being contained and getting a break. I think they would have been taking 2 or 3 baths a day if we'd been quarantined, so that I had a chance to return work emails, or order groceries online, etc . . .

This made me laugh. I think mine would have been too.

We’re on the second or third day plan. So 2-3 times unless they ask for a bath sooner to play. We’re normally every other day as well, with a quick clean as needed in between. Kid is 5.

We are in an apartment. If they were digging around in yard it might be different. Or not.
