Is there any reason NOT to bathe an almost 5 year old and 6 month old together?

As soon as DS#2 can sit, I want to start bathing them together. They will both love it and it would save time for me.

Is there any reason this would be a bad idea or a bad routine to start?

I still have a good many years before DS#1 would want "privacy", right?

Thanks!

My 5 year old and 20 month old take baths together all the time (and have since my DD was 8 months old). The only thing you have to watch is that the older one doesn't knock the younger one down - my 5 year old can play a little rough in the tub, and we had to make sure he didn't knock her over. Now they play nicely together (for the most part).

My 5 year old and 2.5 year old bathe together. Sometimes my older DD says she wants privacy when she is getting dressed but she has never said anything about bathing together. I don't see it as a problem.

I don't see any issue...especially since they're same gender. My girls still shower/bathe together and they are 6 and 4.5. I do not plan on putting 15 month old in the mix though!

Nope
Take lots of pics of them together and then bribe then when they're teenagers

I make fun of DH b/c I saw pics of him when he was 4 and his sister was 1 in the bath together.

My kids (4 and 21 months) love to bathe together. Enjoy it while it lasts!
