Unfortunately hubby doesn't agree and if he is home early from work then I make sure they get the bath/shower. Usually its every second day and I don't bother on Sunday evening, we are at Church on Sunday so no chance of getting dirty why bother!

I look at the mother and say you bath your children everyday...don't you know that is bad for the skin? They are so taken aback and because my hubby is a doc they think I know something they don't. This way all my guilt goes out the window when i am too tired to give my daughter a bath every night or every other night!

They probably bathe themselves too often as well. I am, by no means, a smelly hippie...lol. I may be smelly...but that's because I can't find time to shower every (other) day :P My babe's skin is far too dry to withstand a nightly bath. I might give it a shot if it calmed her (ya know, those parents that see it as part of their bedtime routine...yeah...doesn't work here). We do a weekly bath just to keep her from getting too cruddy...but that's about it :-) I think most parents bathe their kids too often. They probably bathe themselves too often as well.

Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone. Thank you for the true confession – I too, with 4, am only occasionally militant about the bath. Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone.
