Showering with a 3 year old toddler?

Anonymous
Is it acceptable for DH to shower with our DD?
She’s three years old and loves her bedtime shower ritual with daddy.

DD showered with DH at that age and probably a year or two past it. They were both fine with it

At three, my DS had to shower with me on camping trips but I made him face the other way. It was a bit of a slippery trick. Sometimes I made him stand just outside the curtain.

I would not be comfortable with a 3 year old showing normally and not out of necessity with an adult of the opposite sex. I think it's weird.

Do what works for your family, but I would be hesitant to post about it here. Lots of creepy trolls that take things the wrong way for their own pleasure.

This is totally fine. Enough with the puritanical nonsense.

My husband showered with my daughter all the time until one day she pointed at his penis and said “whatcha got there dad?” Right then we knew it was time to stop. She was around 3 at the time.

Of course it’s fine.

It’s totally ok. If either of them feels differently and prefer not to that’s ok too. Our five year old still showers with her dad on occasion.

That's unfortunate. "My penis" would have been a fine answer and probably nothing would have been weird about it for another few years.

I think it’s very weird. I never showered with my kids. That shot is very confusing for kids.

That was his answer.
