[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here it comes..."if you don't bathe your child every night, we can all tell.  They smell and you're all super gross."

I bathe my kids every other night.  I wash their sheets once per week.  It works just fine.

Seriously. My kids just don't get so dirty as to necessitate a daily bath every single day. Even when they are playing outside, they are not exactly rolling around in piles of literal dirt. They clean their hands and faces multiple times a day and when the day is done, they take off their dirty clothes and put on PJs. They don't smell because their clothing is clean. It seems like people think that but for a nightly bath routine, all children would be covered in grime. [/quote]

Newsflash: your kids stink. Not adult BO odor, but outside, sweaty kid odor. [/quote]

[b]Stop smelling my kids, ya weirdo.[/b]

My kids take baths twice a week in the winter, and up to daily in the summer heat, and we change sheets once a week or so. Bathing too often, especially for kids, strips the skin of oils, which are actually very important for protection against bacteria and various other yucky things.

They do wash their hands and faces a lot, we don't wear shoes in the house, etc.

On the days when they roll around in the sandbox etc., yes, they get a bath.

But don't take it from me, take it from the Internet doctors:

I don't think you know how smells work. You think adults want to smell your kids? The other kids probably smell them though.[/quote]
