kids and baths

I think girls love taking baths and showers no matter what. I know when I was a child I used to love both.. I only got to shower at grandma's though and tub at home.. We didn't have a shower just a tub.. My parents told me showers don't get you 100% cleans so they too would use the tub... I beg the differ though... I think I just need to keep trying on this one... :) Thanks for your reply!!

Funny!!! I recently have been telling my son, i am going to check you once your done so that i know you have taken a full bath, he don't stay in the tub long... I am thinking that has alot to do with his games that he plays he don't want to miss out on something... Not that he's going to or anything like that either... But I'm been working with him trying to get to bath every day that isn't working to well every other day though seems to be going ok but yet how long is that going to last too I am not sure... I do want to get him back to taking one every day... Thanks for your reply!!!

I've been thinking back to my childhood. My mother only made us take a bath once a week, and that was Sunday evening. Makes me cringe now! LOL Just think how dirty we were for church on Sunday morning! I was in 6th grade and I will never forget someone in my class asking me if I knew just how dirty my neck was. I didn't know...but then I did, and I started taking a bath at least every other day after that and making sure to wash not only my neck but behind my ears too! Marsha

we've tried doing the toys but those don't seem to work much at all anymore.. I even let him pick the ones he wants to play with in the water, well you know as long as they can float and not sink... Very good suggestion thanks!

Well if toys didn't work maybe a swimming mask and snorkel? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

it's funny you mentioned this because he don't have a problem with getting in the pool and playing every day during the summer that is or even the lake when we go swimming.. Just the tub... We've gone threw just about every option we can but not sure what more to do... Thank you so much for your reply..

I have done this too...Still don't help any either.. He's got a few different bubble baths and uses them, but it's still hard for me to get him in the tub.. However now that it's almost summer we will be going swimming alot, I know it's not the same but close enough! Thanks for your reply!!

He won't take showers either we tried that he just screams.. He's afraid it's going to get in his eyes.. We've tried getting him for the longest time to do it but he screams... I really don't know why the water isn't to hot just right actually..

I guess I am two years to late on that one... Giggles.. tried the shower thing no luck.. I think girls are way different than boys though... Boys wanna be dirty lol and girls want to be clean and tidy know what I mean? Thank you for your reply!

lol oh yes I know what you mean. I think my stepson is a little different, he hates being dirty. Any other boy I know LOVES to be dirty and would never get in the shower/bath if they had it their way.

ha ha that's funny, my son was like that when he was smaller, but I am not sure what happened...

That air is expensive I couldn't believe how much it was at wal-mart for it... But that is an idea for sure.. He's more into toys in the tub than anything, I am fine with all that for sure.. I don't mind them as long he remembers to take them out and not throw them on the floor when he's done with them for me to step on and hurt myself with....
