she's 5 years old and he's her father, I get how that might have been strange if she was 10 and he was still washing her or if she was 15 but she's 5, she was a baby less that 2 years ago.
my nanny bathed me until I was 12 and my dad would wash my hair and bath me until I was 9. there was nothing perverted about it and a dad being there for his kid is a good thing, the fact that he actually cares about her cleanliness should be like a bonus or something.
if the kid has no mother or the mom is too busy to wash her then let the dad do it, and kids taking baths with their dad's (not perverted shiz but a dad actually washing his kid) gives them a type of intimacy with their dad... shows that they can be open and honest with their dad's guys..
No. sure, he should teach her to do things for herself, but when I was 6, my dad would make a bath for me and my little sister. He wouldn't get in, but that was because we were already in there and taking up room. He still helped her go through it, because she is 2 years younger... but he didn't do that cuz he was a pervert.. And whenever I came over we all slept in the same bed, but it wasn't weird or anything. In fact, she fell asleep, he fell asleep, then I fell asleep.. So I know for sure it was okay. He's my dad, not a molester on the street. You know people wouldn't say as much I'd it was a mother and son. Stop making all men into child molesters. They love and take care of their children too.
My sister and I would take showers with our mom until ages 5 and 8 respectively. It only stopped because, one day, we realized the shower was too small for three people. (Yes. All three of us.) One day, it will be evident that your 5 year old doesn't want to bathe with her dad anymore. We like to look at child development in years, but it's not that easy. At some point, she will naturally start to associate nudity and privacy. If you stop the showers altogether, she isn't going to understand and will be angry with her dad. You'll see. She won't want this forever. Let him enjoy babying her for a while longer.
i.giphy.com/media/3o7btT1T9qpQZWhNlK/200w.gif Nothing wrong I'm still taking showers with my 6 year old and it's only me and him so we sleep in the same bed shower together is just to finish and get ready quickly nothing else. People now days think that everything is perverted or wrong when there's no malicious intentions. The only malicious is the people who is thinking bad about it. 😠😠
I think it's fine, acceptable as long as neither one of them "act" any differently (ie, it's "normal"). But, I'm also a nudist and fully believe in nudist values. I think it's this thinking like yours (that it's "inappropriate") that is what's wrong with the world. I'm not judging you, don't misunderstand :) Lots of people feel the way you do, I'm just saying I don't think it should matter AT ALL! And if everyone did this, ie, nakedness was "normal", around anyone and everyone, then it wouldn't be a "big deal" or "inappropriate" AT ALL ever! It would just be "normal" and accepted. The human body is beautiful, and it's natural, and nothing to be hidden or ashamed of.
This is the sort of shit I really don't understand about Americans. You guys punish fathers for being absent, AND for being present. Would you say this same perverse crap if it was a mother in the shower with her son? No, of course not, because in America the idea is that all men are closer pedophiles and if they ever show affection to their children they mushed be out in a cage. Sounds to me you're the creep, thinking that simply because a father helps his five year old shower -which is not at all uncommon and actually advised by all professional caregivers and pediatricians for safety- he must automatically be a pervert. Get your head fixed.

As long has he doesn't change the way he acts around her. It should be okay with dads.
I had three daughters and other than changing diapers, bath time was with mommy. I felt it was important to give them this time together to understand bath time is private time. Dad may just be doing a good job raising his daughter, with no ill intent towards his daughter whatever. But I realized that all he is doing can effect their independence and confidence later in life.
the one thing that everybody forgets is that you still have to monitor a child when they're taking a bath cuz even three inches of water a child can drown in
She's only 5 it's normal. If she was 15 he'll yeah. 5 year olds don't know how to wash properly. She doesn't need to be aware of her own body yet. If he's covering up he's not naked. I washed my daughter until she was around 7. I wanted to make sure she was clean.
I feel the same way as you.
I understand when parents bath their children until they can do it on their own, but I would never let my husband or myself bath together (!) with the child! No matter what age
It's her parent looking after her, people are so weird about gender and nudity tbh. It saves time for a parent to share a bath with a child, and it's safer too; kids can drown in the most ridiculously small amounts of water. Kids should definitely learn about consent and types of touching that are normal and not. But there's nothing wrong or creepy about parents and children just being nude around one another, it's normal
A 5 year old is bathing with her dad? what. That's some creepy shit I'm not going to lie. Sounds like this's going to end rather poorly, srs.
Uhhhm, fucking yeah? why the hell are fathers always demonized but these fat cows called mothers can walk around the house naked to show their sons what a "real woman" looks like even though her son is 13
Hmm 5 is still super young tho... I'm sure it's just convenient to wash like that, no? I'm sure there is nothing creepy about it
my mom washed me till i was 8 simply because i was lazy and found it convenient. eventually i outgrew it and decided i wanted to do it alone.
I took a shower naked with my mom being naked as well when I was around 6. I was a child but it was wrong looking back.
That father should not be taking a shower with his kid wheather boy or girl espeicallly his daughter at any age.
He's wearing swimming shorts, she's still only 5 years old.
He's being a Dad jeez
its not inapptropriate but should get out of that habit of taking showers baths together
i really thinks it is okey and father is in the shorts so no problem
No, that's fine. It's his daughter and he cares her. There's nothing sexual or shameful about it. Who says it's a private thing?
I wouldn't recommend it because something could soon happen that they'll regret.
its totaly fine.
she's only 5, i bet she barely even knows how to properly wash her hands.
in my opinion, daddy should let her shower on her own by the time she starts her 1st grade.
I don't see any problem with that. By making a huge deal out of it and suddenly forbidding the girl to shower with her dad, her parents would only be teaching her that naked body is something to be ashamed of.
That is completely normal, you are the one projecting your strange sexual feelings onto something innocent.
No it's not good to have a daughter that age to bathes with father for once a 5 yr old don't need to see another man ding dong and 2nd no telling what they do in the tub and it can be very perverted.
