I mean if we had a daughter, my husband would definitely help to bathe her

Yes. The same way a mum should bath her son. Anyone who says no must think their partner is a pedophile

Yes absolutely đź’Ż why wouldn't he?

Its only weird if you make it weird.

What the fuck is wrong with people

If you and/your partner don’t trust him to bathe the child regardless of sex then - what are you doing with that person? Why are they allowed around the child at all?

Those who thinks it’s weird definitely need to check yourself into therapy

Absolutely, but I also think if for whatever reason the mom is questioning this, then that’s a red flag itself cuz I’ve seen now like 4 posts on here talking about how “my husband refuses to stop bathing our daughter even though it makes me uncomfortable” and then comments later it coming out that it’s really his step daughter too and there’s just a whole weird vibe about it or the dad is just so eager to always do bath time and insists on bathing WITH them and the mom is picking up a weird vibe and asking for advise

The people who find this weird are the problem

I can’t stand tik tok, can’t stand the internet and social media. And I can’t stand how overly triggered this generation is to everything. Ppl need More healing and less internet scrolling.cuz ppl who have that perspective on every situation are clearly disturbed. When did a father bathing his daughter even become a societal conversation?

It’ll be the same people who say that a dad shouldn’t change his daughters nappy 🙄 why shouldn’t he, just because he’s the opposite sex?! My partner absolutely loved bathing all of his babies, and we’ve got a daughter now. He loves it because it’s fun, it’s bonding, it’s a way for him to help with her, and he loves it! I once saw a post where a father closed his baby’s legs when she was stretching and said she wasn’t going to learn to do that🤢

Of course. People are just weirdos for even questioning these things, my daughter is 5 and loves it when her Dad gets in the bath with her.

My partner bath our toddler if I am busy so nothing wrong with that

These comments make me feel sane. I was shocked at the amount of comments on the video saying it was weird. My husbands always loved doing bath time with our daughter

This generation is f**ked

@Autumn my question is why is she still with him then?

@Sarah right?? Like how could you be with a man who you couldn’t trust to bath your children

Totally! He’s a parent. If you have concerns, you shouldn’t be with that partner.

My husband baths our twin girls but not often. I usually am the one who deals with them in this way . He baths my son more regularly. I can’t personally recall ever being bathed by my dad growing up though we were always very close. I’m sure he had to know how to change my diapers etc because I know that i was left alone with him , my siblings and I . I’m not sure when my husband will stop bathing our girls it maybe idk around 4 I’m thinking . I’m planning to not shower with my son anymore at 4 but I imagine that he will continue to shower with his dad maybe until 6 idk not sure we’re new to all of this

@Sarah no idea, maybe in denial or financially trapped or just willing to put their kids in jeopardy to not be alone idk but after reading a few of those type of posts I always like to add to my comments about this subject to just follow your instincts cuz yeah obviously this should not be a weird thing but sometimes it is cuz there’s sickos out there

Omg I read it wrong. I read take a bath with his daughter. That’s weird to me but him cleaning her is not weird. Sorryyyy! I change my vote!

Do parents not take it in turns to do bath and bed? Like, did you both not create the child? That’s so weird

Yes, why not?🤷🏼‍♀️ Its no different from a mum bath her son. Genuinely cannot understand the problem.

With this same logic, women shudnt bathe their sons either! And if we are going to continue being irrational why stop there! Let’s start making more shit up like, “men shouldn’t bathe their sons OR daughters either” “lets stop giving men who want to pursue medicine gynecologists degrees” I swear the internet ppl can just keep talking all day & night! Bt those types of narratives play into perpetuating misogyny cuz we are going to continue having a world of men who think parenting is womans work. Men weren’t even allowed in the delivery room at some point, pregnancy, labor/delivery, post partum & prenatal care was all womens work so Husbands & partners were expected to do nothing! Which makes them even more “disconnected” to their kids and the parenting process. So I jus don’t want this to be a another thing that is used as an excuse for men as whole for them to continue to act a fool when it comes to helping their partners change diapers & bathing kids

There is absolutely no reason why a good responsible father should not be able to bathe his 3 y/o daughter…

If you think it’s weird and/or don’t trust your husband to do it then you shouldn’t have had kids with him. 1. When you have kids you share responsibility which includes baths 2. If you don’t trust him them to do that then you had a baby with the wrong person… Some kids don’t have mothers around.. does the dad just hope for the best and hope they learn to bathe themselves? Or does he step up and be the parent his daughter needs him to be?

I had a bath with my parents when baby and toddler, then my brother until around 8. I don't think it's weird for a dad to bath their little one or have a bath with them Its bonding time

My girls have a choice and are always asked. They have a choice of me or their step dad, sometimes my mum if shes at mine. I live in a flat and doors are always open. I dont think there is anything wrong with it

I need to see this TikTok because what?!?!

Yes he’s a parent too. However I’d say dads usually stop sooner than the mums do. My dad stopped when I was around 6.

I’m curious as to why it made you uncomfortable? Past trauma or cultural influence? I don’t think it’s weird at all
