Is the age 6 to old to be bathed by opposite sex parent?

I read a question and answer where a lady still bathes her 6 year old son.Is the age 6 to old to be bathed by opposite sex parent?
at the age of six the child should know how to bath him self. but as


we all know. children some times wanna play in the water more than


they wanna take a bath and they will miss some spots from time to time. so you may have to give them a little help. but they just need a little encouragement from time to time and they can do it.Is the age 6 to old to be bathed by opposite sex parent?
I still bathe my 6 year old son, and i'll still be doing it when he's 7 and when hes 8....you get the idea.


i'm a single parent and if i don't do it, then nobody will. He also has other underlying issues that keep him from being trusted around water alone at this age. (but even if he didn't, i still would sit there with him while he took a bath, it's just common sense)


and my brother bathes his 6 year old daughter.


as long as there isn't any indication of something more serious than bath-giving going on, i don't think it's inappropriate. Kids will let you know when they're ready to do things on their own and will voice when they're getting modest and don't want the opposite sex in the room.
I'm starting to get tired of this question....


I feel like I've answered it (in one form or another) a million times.








Anyway, my answer is this:


It is acceptable until one person or the other decides they are uncomfortable with it. The actual age varies from family to family as well as from child to child in some circumstances.
Their is nothing wrong with that! my son is 7yrs old and im still the one taking bathe on him.





We should let kids do their stuff if they wanted it already to have it on their own but lets teach them the proper way and assist them ones in a while. This is also one way of teaching them how to be independent. But parents should guide them and take things step by step. So, as long as the kid wanted to have us help them in taking bath then we should not put any malice on it. What the kids sees on us they think that is good and so we should set as a good example and not the other way around.
At that age they should be washing themselves. I was taking showers by the age but my younger siblings would usually take a bath with the bathroom door open so their mom could check on them or they could yell for help.
No way The kid is only 6 and he/she only sees you as a mom/dad nothing more then family. He/she will not be thinking in any sexual way.
Kinda, there remember it and be scared of you, just kidding. But yeah its creepy
I think a 6 yr old should be able to bathe himself/herself. She is babying him and needs to let go!
There is nothing wrong with that! She gave birth to him.
It didn't happen in my house but I believe that if everyone is comfortable with it. Then it's no big deal.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
What on earth is wrong with that?? it's her son not some stranger.
No it isn't.. you should be able to bath your child
