[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 7 year old son and a 5 year old son. We use a 16 year old babysitter who is very good. So far my boys have always been ready for bed when the baby sitter comes, so baths have never been an issue. However, in a few weeks my husband will be out of town and I will be away from home from noon until late at night. My boys will be with some friends on a farm after school, the baby sitter will take them from there to home after supper and put them to bed. I know that they will be playing and getting dirty, and probably need a bath. A friend said that boys of that age should not be seen naked except by their mother and doctor. I don't know if I agree or not. What do others think? I am mainly worried about the aspect of nudity with the opposite gender, but the baby sitter is very experienced, and my boys both really like her.[/quote]

I think this is ridiculous, honestly.  If you don't trust your babysitter seeing your kids naked, you probably need to find another one.  Or is it a modesty thing from your children's perspective?

Do your kids know how to turn on the shower and wash their hair?  Have them do that - the water and soap from the shampoo will take care of everything else.  She can lay out towels and PJs.  They can dry themselves off and get dressed.  Simple - no need to skip a bath/shower after going to a FARM.[/quote]
