Exactly!
I posted earlier that my father used to put me in the shower with him when I was about 2 or 3 years old. I believe that is form where the issue of opposite sex parents and children bathing together arose. Although, the posts were not directed towards me, I would be lying if I said that I wasn't the least bit offended by them. For someone to criticize, at least in part, the way I was raised offends me.
A man should not be bathing with his 8 year old daughter. That's too old and can cause some psychological damage. I stated that past the ages of 4 or 5, this type of activity should not be taking place. But, to say not even with a toddler seems a little bit extreme to me. Most toddlers don't know what the difference between boys and girls is at this age.
I wonder what the responses would be if the table were turned. Should a woman not ever bathe with her son?
