He showers after they are finished and out of the shower. Someone asked if there was someone there to watch the kids while he showered. I'm just saying I doubt that they're left unattended.
I think people make way too big of an issue of nudity.

Would this conversation even happen if it was a mother bathing her two young sons?
actually my friend says he jumps in the shower with his trunks when he has to wash his daughters while wifey is out of town on business. I too thought that was weird, but he said that they're really stubborn and want to stand-up under the shower head not sit down in a bath tub, otherwise they'll throw a fit. Basically he said that after a long day at the office some battles are just not worth fighting.
I think by the age of 5 kids should have learned or are learning how to bathe themselves, because eventually it does get a bit wierd
Really? A 5 year old bathe him/her self? LOL. Apparently you don't have kids. Kids would never be probably clean, but I guarantee you the bathroom floors would be. My son is 6 and I still give him showers because I would rather he be cleaned properly.
And he has seen me naked, multiple times. No big deal. Why are people ashamed of their bodies??
Parents who are comfortable nude have kids who are comfortable nude.
So no, I don't think it is weird for parents to shower/bathe with their kids.
Totally agree w/ this. I occasionally shower w/ my daughters (I'm the mom) and they are not toddlers. They both have super long hair which is a chore to shampoo/condition and if we all have been swimming, etc it's so much easier all together. (I have a very large shower so that makes it more feasible than if we just had a small tub shower).
My daughters are comfortable seeing me and have an understanding of how their bodies will mature in a few years. I think it's a much better alternative to my mother's approach of body "shame" in all things.
It's inappropriate w/ the parent of opposite sex after babyhood, but for same sex parent/children, it's really not that big of a deal unless the parent is uptight about it.
