i also enjoy spending that bonding time with my dughter wo is also 3 in the bath (cant always have the water as warm as id like but u learn to live with that) ive been missing them lately she had a op on her belly button at the end of june and until we get the go ahead from the dr that it is 100% for her to get her belly wet she is bathing in very shallow water without the bubbles! but we still bond i go and chat to her while she plays a bit in the water

Ah Candice, soo divine... so so so divine!

I find it so interesting at how many moms use bath time as bonding time. It's wonderful. On week ends my child's father has his turn - and then i have my turn to have that long and well deserved soak. I also think it is important for Dad's to have their turn. By the time the Daddy gets home from work, my son is already fed, bathed and in bed. So he enjoys it just as much as i do!

Ah man, its so good to see other rocking mamas doing it! Good for you Rose!

Tshepang and I bath together at night before we goto bed. This is the only time where we have time to bond, he'll start telling me about school and singing for me. I just love spending time with my son.

Megan! thats so awesome - i agree, im dreading the day she says "close the door and leave me alone!" wah

My four year old daughter, Kiara and I bath together every night. It really is a bonding time, time to catch up on the day and to discover things (songs) learnt at school. I'm dreading the day she asks me to let her bath alone!!!

Marelize! thats such a divine thing! I wish I had had more bonding time with my mom when I was pg - we were both much more focused on my dad at the time - he was terminally ill when I was pg and i dont think we actually really ever got to really talk about my pregnancy. Sad but true. She's with me every day now though and is a doting grandmama.

Me and my mom always bathed together. I am now 30 and she 62 and 7 months ago when I was 8 months pregnant we got in the bath again and had a fun time chatting about all and everything. We were very squized into the tub, but we had fun. Best of memories.

Ah Angel - i swear you lived my life before me so that i could learn from you... i get that too - its the most honest communication time. youre a rocking mama. remember that X

My darling Damien and I bathed together for years, and after he said he wanted to bath himself I still spent time with him in the bathroom, singing tthe songs my mom sang to us when we were little and in the bath. And as he was growing up his favourite time to ask me those deep and occasionally embarrassing questions was when I was in the bath... he'd come and plonk himself on the bathmat and ask me whatever he had on his mind. I miss bathtime...

Hey Candice! That's divine man! I seriously believe, that whilst it happened out of pure desperation to just cope and make sure both of us got clean every evening, it has become the best thing i could have done to get some mommy daughter time! It's my fave time of the day! Cath

I couldn't agree more with this. I get to spend 2 hours with my son before bedtime and most of it is getting supper done, getting his things ready, etc. We bath together every night. Not only because it saves time if you are on your own, but it's awesome to sit and be silly with him. He splashes and laughes, tries to dunk my head under the water. This is a true bonding time for us because the time we have is so limited. I know that it will be shortlived. They grow up so fast, so i am taking liberties where i can!
