BS vs BSDH - our debate - help!

Nat showered with the boys from at least as young as BBS is now, if not younger. Babies are only slippery if you soap them up... what we do, is I strip off the child and pass them through to Nat, then lather up my hands. Nat holds one half, I soap the other! That way, only part of the child is slippery and it's not the part Nat is holding.

Nat's comments:
"Is it worth involving the rest of New Zealand in your guys issue? The original question was fair, but now you are having an online argument. I fear involving so many other people in your issues could be a danger to your relationship. This is a decision you guys have to make privately. There is no point in involving other people in it. Think about it."

Na We're not it's all good BS'll come around to my way of thinking when BS is good and ready.... Gotta put some contrvercial comments in or it wouldn't be any fun but the question and BS's concern is very geniune and it's nice to know other peoples thought. We arent fighting over this we just cant agree right now and want input which has been helpful

My DH says this about most things on here!

we werent arguing on here...and was kinda upset to see that comment! Im glad DH is taking an interest in his daughter and i think he has taken on board a lot of what the mums (and a few dads) say on this site

there are some good points on here....and we have discussed it...DH is going to wait til im ready - and im sure in next week or so I will find a time when i am....Im glad we got some pointers on stuff like no soap etc...that is exactly why i asked this....and Im glad there was input for us both to take on board.

Well said, BS!  Well I missed the boat on this thread!  (Ella's been showered with her Daddy from the start.  Seems to be her favourite time of the day.  If I bathe her, it's in the bath 'cause I just feel all thumbs trying to shower her, but hubby's pretty good at it).  Anyway, looks like you guys will sort out something that suits the both of you, so it's all good! 

...and I think it's true - us mum's can be "overprotective" sometimes but someone's gotta do it!!  It's out job and we're like that for a reason!  Just like dad's tend to be a bit riskier and more fun!!  It all balances out and the kids benefit from the variety IMHO. 

Ok havent read what others wrote re this...and looks like a heated issue.

My here is my my 2c worth. Atish is very old fashioned and refused to bath with Zaara. He says ..I am guy she is a girl!! YOU bath with her!! I will do it when and if I have a boy!!

So I do shower with her...occationally and not when she was little. but when she was older like 5 months or older.

It all depends on you!! I am going to go and read the rest of the thread and see what happened!!
