I hate when people respond with some half assed Euro answer. In America, boys and girls take separate baths around 4 or 5 maybe 6. You can let them shower until any age, they will let you know when they feel uncomfortable. [ Reply | More

What part was harsh? The reponder was posting that this was an American "problem", it's not a problem...just different than Sweden. Can you imagine if she said this was a Jewish problem or a black problem? [ Reply | More

I just used bath because I think most people are afraid to have two kids in a slippery shower with soap so they throw them in the tub for a bath. [ Reply | More

Is there an official book saying that in America, a boy and a girl are only supposed to take a bath together until they are about 4 or 5 maybe 6. Are there studies that break it down for Native Americans, Hispanics, African-Americans, Caucasians...? [ Reply | More

Did you read the posts or are you too disturbed by "half assed". What ever age you think is appropriate is fine, kids learn in school that there are separate bathrooms, that's all. [ Reply | More

The poster is asking what is appropriate...none of it's a big deal, but she is asking waht age should she stop putting them together. Most people here think they should shower together until they go way to college. [ Reply | More
