[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bathing your kids too much is unhealthy

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2015/02/26/why-you-should-stop-giving-your-kid-a-bath-every-night/?utm_term=.6509293ebdb0[/quote]

The article is over three years old.  We took DS to a top pediatric dermatologist last winter who encouraged daily bathing of children especially those with eczema.  Use a good barrier lotion or ointment but bathe daily.

Plus my kids smell like puppies if they don’t bathe every day.  I can’t imagine putting them in clean pjs and bed all dirty.[/quote]

Especially in the summer you really need to wash off bug spray and sunblock. Not to mention how sweaty/dirty they get at camp.[/quote]

I bathe my kids when they’re dirty, period. If they have bug spray or sunblock they get baths. If they aren’t dirty, I don’t force them to bathe. My children don’t smell. Soaking clothing  in bleach and other dangerous chemicals?  Really?

I’d rather my kids focus on being creative and learning- not assuring their moms that they pooped in the morning and were spotless all day. My kids select their own clothing, always, feed themselves, pour and serve their own breakfast, and choose their hairstyle. Sometimes they select a shirt and pants that don’t quite match, or prefer a hairstyle that I don’t love, but they feel empowered and resourceful.  That woman doesn’t even allow her children to decide when they want to poop!  I feel like you terrorize your poor kids with a tongue scraper and a hot iron every morning. No thanks. [/quote]

All your kids clothes have been soaked in chemicals before you bought it and anything they own that is white has been bleached.

Your kids smell, btw.  As their mother, you just don’t find it offensive. [/quote]

No they don’t smell.

It is true that clothing is soaked in chemicals before it’s sold, I agree with that. But the answer is not soaking it in more chemicals.

You sound really low class. I bet you use glade plug-ins and room spray.  Gross. [/quote]

No, Dear, I just have clean children.  [/quote]
