[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m always fascinated by the “not-every-day” bathers. We always did every day from when they were sitting up (supervised, of course.)
For us, it was less about cleanliness/stickiness and more about the all-important bedtime routine. Taking the bath was a really important part of wind down time. Because it was such an ingrained thing, we never got the resistance I hear about from PPs or some of my relatives.
It’s really a shame in the case of one kid I know, who at age six, after a day of running around is definitely in need of a bath, but it has now become a battle royale in their house, as the parent (who is not-so-great in many ways) just doesn’t want to put in the effort, so the kid... smells. I’m a bit worried for when he goes back to school this fall.
PPs—-I’m not saying *your* kids smell. I don’t know them! 
Like I said, for us is was every day and it was because it was part of the routine bath—>books—>bed.[/quote]

Ahhh yes. The great “if you don’t bathe your kid every day you’re a bad parent” parent. Thanks for your input. How’s your kid’s skin?[/quote]

Skin is just fine! We have them use lotion after every bath or shower. And they smell clean! Your private parts stink after being in underwear all day. How can you not bathe your kids daily? Gross.[/quote]

I know you’re trying really hard to shame the OP but you do realize it’s not normal or healthy for your private parts to stink at the end of one day? You’re doing something wrong. Try not wearing tight, synthetic fabric underwear or douching away your body’s natural ph balance. The only one in this particular chain who sounds gross is you. [/quote]
