[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay the only thing that bothers me at all is the bathing once a week. Sheets once a month, fine. Sleeping in next day’s clothes, incredible, I do it myself sometimes for the gym in the morning.

We aim for every other day for a bath. Ignoring everything else like sweat, scalp oil, and environmental grime, once they’re potty trained this is legit gross. Idk about you guys, but my kindergartner isn’t the most fastidious wiper. I can’t imagine the stank of her butt after six or seven days! Do you once a week bathers have bidets, or wipe them down with a wet rag between the cheeks or something? [/quote]

We bathe more than once a week. However, my DD is incredibly regular and poops once a day, at home, after school. She always gets a wet wipe on her butt after she’s made her pass with toilet paper because I know she’s still bad at it. So if she goes a few days between baths, no, I don’t worry her butt is gross. If I thought her butt was gross, I’d give her a bath.

I wonder if the people insisting on daily baths just have dirtier kids. Like maybe those of us bathing less frequently just have tidier kids who don’t play in the dirt or sweat as much.[/quote]

Well she’s four so I think we have time to continue to develop her hygiene 🙄

I’m now convinced the people insisting on daily baths either have super filthy kids or OCD. It just seems odd that this has gone on for so many pages and people are STILL mad about it.
When she starts menstruating I hope you encourage her to use more than just a wet wipe. [/quote][/quote]
