[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 209476, member: 5957"] LOL and I thought I was the only one! Actually both my kids love the water a lot and will not fight to get in. The trouble is their hair. My difficult child (ds) loves to "swim" in the bathtub. He is almost 9 and just about 6 months ago was the first time we could get him to take a shower. However, we found out he was stopping the drain and then "swimming" in the water for fun-time after. Ewww! Anyway, when we told him he couldn't do this anymore he now has switched back to baths. Ho hum. He doesn't need us to sit with him anymore thankfully. He actually is very concious about mommy NOT seeing his privates. My daughter is almost 5. She needs us to still do her hair but is learning how to do it herself and so proud. She has issues with the water getting in her eyes and ears. That is actually what convinced my ds to start showers, because the water got in his ears and eyes LESS. And on the teeth brushing-THAT is insane. He would not do it if I didn't make him. He still misses the tops by his gums because he basically just waves the toothbrush around in his mouth. He says it hurts. Ah yeah, because he doesn't brush good he is getting gum disease and that causes him to not brush because it hurts. It's a stupid circle. Both myself and the dentist have tried to show him but it doesn't help. I sometimes have to brush them for him which he hates. But he realizes this is the only way. My easy child (daughter) has wonderful teeth I hope she keeps her good habits. [/QUOTE]
