Mothers bathing their boys

[Tugger]

At what age should a mother stop bathing her boy and washing his hair? I ask this because mine was late, at least I think it was.

[I'm With Stupid]

It wasn't last week was it?

[pink_glitter]

until he's old enough to bathe himself?

[Makoto]

until he's old enough to bathe himself?

Thats what I was gonna say :p.

[SuzyCreamcheese]

when they start doing it themselves properly.

I hope that you are referring to the hair on your head ... ? :D

[Blah]

i remember when i was about 16, i found out my friends mum still bathed her brother, and he was 2 years older than me, making him 18 :|

That scared me.

[ruby_soho]

I'm pretty sure my mum and dad used to help me in the bath washing my hair and stuff untill i was in year 2 so about 6/7? I never found it weird or anything, i'm sure most peoples parents washed their hair for them and stuff.

Now that is what i would call odd :/

[SuzyCreamcheese]

as in washing his back and his hair? I dont think thats weird necessarily, but if shes helping him wash his winkie, and then snuggling him dry after the bath, then thats probably a little innapropriate.

what is the point in this question?
she should stop as has been said when he can do it for himself.

... probably some mum who wanted her son to stay a child forever.

[Tugger]

My mum bathed me and washed my hair until I was about 17. I don't mean everytime but sometimes. She liked doing it.

[Simba T Lion]

until he's old enough to bathe himself?

:yes: Bathing is a one person deal. Unless you need help, such as you are physically incapble of doing things yourself, or if your having sex in the shower.

I would honestly get the mothers mental state checked out if she were doing it longer. It could be very disruptive on the childs wellbeing and their own mental state. Talk about causing an oedipus complex.

Or it could also cause the child to become so bored and desperate with life that they have nothing better to do than to spend all their time making up crap and posting it on a random internet message board.

[Teagan]

My mum bathed me and washed my hair until I was about 17. I don't mean everytime but sometimes. She liked doing it.

Well, as long as it didn't bother you, then so what? But the fact that you asked in the first place arouses my suspicions that you are not that happy about it ... ?

[IWishIWas]

My little sister is 8 and she's been washing herself ever since she threw a hissy fit and insisted she could do it herself. And I'm pretty sure I'm the same.

Just seems like there was an age where she developed her own sense of privacy and stuff.

[Lacy]

My mum bathed me and washed my hair until I was about 17. I don't mean everytime but sometimes. She liked doing it.

That i find weird.

My parents stopped bathing me when i was about 3/4 maybe. Obviously they still came an checked on me, but no actual washing. Maybe 10 when i started doing my hair.

[Yerascrote]

Around 7 for me.

[SuzyCreamcheese]

my son is 5 and bathes on his own, but i wash his hair for him and help him get dried.
If your mum did that to you till you were 17, well I guess it doesnt have to be innapropriate. only you and her will know if it was.

[Tugger]

Looking back now I think it was a bit strange but funnily enough I didn't at the time.

[remotebleeper]

I think basically I stopped being washed when my parents felt it was safe enough to leave me without me drowning. Probably around 5/6 years old

Saying that though I used to get in the bath with my Dad til I was about 10, didn't think it was strange at all...we used to wet bits of toilet roll and flick them onto the ceiling! lol!

We used to hope that a bit would fall onto someone while they were in the bath or on the loo.

[Sofie]

I don't think I was that old, tbh. Saying that, a few years ago my dad did have to wash my hair.

And to the OP - why have you posted this question? I find it odd.

[stargalaxy]

I was probably about six the last time my mum bathed me. I'm more bemused however, as to why this question is even being asked at all.

[innocent_kate]

Quite.

I think hes trying to perve/troll.

As you do. Heck, that's what these forums are for these days. Or did I just make that up?





PS. JK.

[ShyBoy]

Maybe he's just thinking out loud, since he's said he was bathed until he was 17, and looking back on it he thinks its a bit weird. :chin: I think its a bit strange too. But you know, different strokes for different folks.

If that's what ya call it these days, then yes, I concur!

[Kermit]

My mummy still washes me now.

[JamesZero]

Does she still let you play with your rubber ducky too? :D

[Tugger]

I think some of you are misreading my post. My mother only occasionally washed my hair whilst I was in the bath, it was infrequent but nice. She liked doing it and I liked her doing it, it was keeping the strong bond between mother & son. There was nothing pervy about it in terms of it not in any way being sexual as some of you seem to imply.

[SuzyCreamcheese]

well thats ok then. whats the big deal?
tbh, you made a big deal of it by posting. I dont think your mum occasionally washing your hair for you in the bath is that weird.
I personally had left home by that age, but im sure i remember times in my teens where my mum would come in the bathroom to use the loo while I was in the bath. No big deal.
She didnt wash me though, but its hardly a huge step away.

[sophia]

Tugger has to be taking the piss, surely to god?! He can't be for real...

Who knows. I find it funny that he implies he thinks it's weird, ie possibly sexual, then has a go at us for thinking that.

What a strange little man.

[Tugger]

Let me explain. According to everyone else I've spoken to most did not have mothers washing them or their hair at seventeen, thats all, thats why I said I thought it was a bit weird. I never said it was of a sexual nature.

[ShyBoy]

My mum's done my hair over the bath sometimes.

But she's never been in the bathroom when I have been in the bath properly for, I'd guess about 10 years now.

Always, always lock the bathroom after me.

But I dont have an intimacy issue with the bathroom, to be fair. I've phoned people whilst I'm on the toilet or in the bath. Sometimes I have baths and my girlfriend talks to me whilst sitting on the toilet seat (not going loo, just sitting on the lid). All casual.

Dont think I'd be comfortable with my mum doing it now though, not sure I'd be comfortable being naked in the same room as her.

In fairness I was in the bath covered in soap suds, there was nothing on view, well apart from my toy sub so it wasn't as if it had a sexual content.
Whether its your mum or anybody else, there is something good about having your hair washed by someone else.

[Yerascrote]

well apart from my toy sub.

:lol:

Picture the wee 17yr old with his toy sub! Still haven't figured you out yet!

[JamesZero]

Yes... if by someone else you mean your girlfriend... and if by washing your hair you mean giving you a blow job, then yes its fun... :D :thumb:

But in all seriousness... leave your mum outside the bathroom!

[SuzyCreamcheese]

Yeah, but I bet the next time that happens now, you won't be able to get your mum out of your head. :p

[Ballerina]

this still smells a bit fishy to me....

[Yerascrote]

I'm pretty sure it's rich kid again.

[I'm With Stupid]

Either way, it's good for everyone to be able to say, I may have problems, but at least I'm not that bad. :p

I'll feel really guilty if he's genuine now.

He really is just a caricature for failure and embaressment like!

[Randomgirl]

Many adults with disabilities would be bathed by their mothers throughout their adult lives. I don't think that is weird. As for everybody else I guess it depends on the situation.

[IWishIWas]

Long gone were the times when she scrubbed me...

I was listening to RHCP today and it just reminded me of this thread.

[clementine_the_tangerine]

Oooooer!

Each to their own I suppose. My stepdad straightens my hair for me sometimes. Now that's what I call KINKY.

Thanks Randomgirl. I should mention that whilst I still live at home my mother doesn't wash my hair now, that stopped some years ago when my arms got better.

[sophia]

Shit Tugger, do you still live at home?

What do your parents think of Layla or whatever she's called?!

[Tugger]

I still live at home, my dad died when I was just a baby, so its just me & mum. I've got a muscle wasting disease that affects my arms, I couldn't lift them above waist level, I can know just about reach my head but its a struggle.

The point is she won't find the doll, I've sent it off to Dr Jackson as a swop for one of his refurbished ones. I kept it under the bed in a box with a lock & key.

You've just got an explination for everything, doncha :\

Man if you can barely do that how in hell did you manage to fuck your sex doll?
(assuming it was a true fact...)

[Lacy]

Funny how you've never mentioned this disease before :chin:

[Renzo]

Ignore it.

[Livin' on a prayer]

I thought when you said you had problems you meant your acne, didnt know you had a disease. Could you please explain what your problems are in full, is there anything else? it might help people to understand.
We might be able to help you get your "Blonde/Brunette & Busty with Brains" :p

[Tugger]

Look I've got problems, so have most people, and I try not to keep on about them.
Yes I'm overweight and yes I've got a severe skin condition but thank God the use of my arms has improved through drugs and exercise.
I regret sharing all this with you because I feel you're simply taking the piss because of my lifestyle choices. If you lead a very restricted life the options open to you are, unlike other people, limited. So ok I experimented in using a doll but millions of people use sex toys to relieve their sexual frustration. Why should anyone need to apologise?

[Tweety]

The only difference is most people wouldn't admit to having a doll.
I don't see a problem with it.

Its understandable that you feel that we are all making a joke out of all of this, its just that, if you dont wish that to happen, you should tell us whats up fully or deal with the fact that we are going to be skeptical about you, as you never give us a full story as to better understand you.

I think thats out of order. Yes a lot of us take the piss but people have also tried to help you with your various problems. Thats time they've taken to think about what you've said and time they've taken to think up a response that they think will actually help you.

It just seems, to me anyway, that you are maybe posting these problems not only for help but for attention too. Coming out with things like "i have problems with my condition", letting people think this is either your acne or your weight problem then saying you have a muscle wasting disease like out of nowhere. Most people would say that to begin with surely?

And you don't lead a restricted life. People in comas an the like lead restricted lives. You've said yourself your arms are getting better, and since when did being overweight with bad skin hinder people living their lives? You need to stop moaning about your problems when your not interested in solving them.

Oh and no one said you had to apologise for fucking a doll. It's just hilarious.

Sorry LacyMay, I probably over-reacted this morning in my earlier post. I appreciate the people who have made some kind suggestions, in fact I've followed some of their advice so I am interested in solving them. I don't mean to come over as a perpetual whinger, I am trying to be positive about a lot of negativity. I do have a lot of othe issues but I'm perceived to just be a moaner so I'd better keep them to myself. I'm probably an easy target because most of you seem to have got your lives together whereas I'm usually falling from one crisis to another. Thanks all the same to the many posters who have shown some understanding of my situation, its much appreciated, you know who you are.

I think its easy to think everyone else has their lives all sorted but most people have insecurities just like you. Some of us post under different names to ask for advice about things. I really admire your honesty and I think it is sad if you feel you can't ask for advice about stuff because it might be classed as moaning, especially since this site is all about support and advice.

I personally like you and think your quite witty and intelligent. I'd be sad if you stopped posting tbh. :yes:

[Tugger]

Thanks remotebleeper. You always cheer me up with your positive comments.

[StrubbleS]

Well, it stopped rather early with me as well.
I actually have problems with my parents seeing me naked. I don't like that. I don't have a problem of being nude in front of my missus however, at all.

guess my mum helped me washing hair until i was 7 or 8 or something. I remember putting the flannel in front of my easy, closing my eyelids pretty closely, so my mum could shower the foam off my head, heh...

[David B.]

At what age should a mother stop bathing her boy and washing his hair? I ask this because mine was late, at least I think it was.

This is an interesting question, because my main childhood was in the 1980's. I was a late age because I was 12 so I'll explain:

From what I remember, once I was about 8 or so I would generally bath myself but once a week Mum washed my hair while I was in the bathtub. With these once a week 'hairwashes' Mum sometimes gave me a bath too. Now I started secondary school at 11 and I definately remember at least 3 or 4 occasions during that first year when Mum washed my hair AND bathed me. One of those times (which was the summer) I would have just turned 12 but to be honest it didn't bother me because I was still a pre-pubescent kid!:blush: Often while Mum bathed me we just talked about school and stuff and I never remember it feeling 'babyish' even at 12!! Incidently after the age of 12 I kept myself clean and took good care of my hygeine.

I don't know what the age limit is to be honest but I guess it varies from family to family. Also it depends in the child, the parents and how capable the child is in keeping himself clean. :chin:
