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

I remember around age 13 or so showering with two friends. We had been swimming. We fit, we all showered. We had a normal size tub. We thought it was hilarious. Why, I have no idea.
Probably some day soon the boys will want privacy. |

I'm actually quite modest and I don't really find weird--maybe a little different, but not weird. My guess is that there is zero hot water for #2 or #3 and not enough time if they only have 1 or 2 showers in the house. Locker rooms are probably worse for boys--a lot of inappropriate talk and some bullying.
Families can be close and casual without it being weird. I'm still after my twelve year old DS to shut the bathroom door and that I don't need *every* detail about his bodily functions...but he's just not embarrassed. That's him, and it's fine. |

You were clear, people just can’t be bothered to actually read. |

I have a cousin who is the same age as me. We took showers together in the summer until we were about 10.
As an adult, I shower with DH every morning. We have two shower heads in our shower. It saves time. |

Why wouldn't you? What is so gross about it? They are siblings, unless one of them is psychologically off, then there is absolutely not a damn thing sexual or perverted with this situation, other than your mind |

This. Americans have the most bizarre hangups about sex, flesh, and nakedness. Oh, and applying those standards to a bond very, very few of us can relate to or understand. |

One of them told me that they do it sometimes in the shower. |

Unusual, but not weird. I have twins and mine are younger. Mine typically shower separately, but at night. There are some nights when we come home late and they're tired and neither one wants to wait for the other to shower, so they just climb in together, shower quickly, get dressed and got to bed. I've known other twins who normally shower separately, but on occasion, shower together. In this situation with middle school kids, my first guess is that they all want to sleep as late as possible, so they all wake up at the last minute and don't have time for separate showers, so all jump in together to get ready for school quickly and then tumble out, get dressed, shove some breakfast down quickly and the head for the bus. Or something like that.
It is more unusual if they do it every day, but as a once in a while thing, or perhaps just while staying at your house, instead of at home, but not weird in general. |

OP, you forgot to tell this PP that they are the American kids of your American sister who are showering in America AND that they grew up in America. Please also advise whether they have ever been to Europe or watched any BBC shows. |

I'm pretty sure showers are not the way we are going to save the environment. Eat a few less steaks and more beans, take less trips on airplanes. But cramming 12 year olds into one shower to save a few gallons of water is a HUGE waste of your emotional energy and doing nothing for the environment. |

It seems super weird, but maybe that's my internal bias talking. My 11 and 9 year old girls have taken baths and showers together recently for fun. For whatever reason it hasn't seemed too weird to me, so I guess that I find boys doing it weird, well I have to think about that.
But if its just to save time, it does seem odd kinda. Sounds like something a 5 minute shower would solve. |
