Mum causes outrage after claiming 'Dads shouldn't bathe daughters'

Because they have 'different body parts.' - by Grace Back
  • 19 Dec 2017

A mother has caused a stir online after claiming that 'dad's shouldn't bathe daughters' because they 'have different body parts.' 

The Sun reported the woman posting online, with her post starting: 'So hubby is upset with me because I have told him that I don't [want him to] wash our two daughters in the bath or shower.

'I just don't feel comfortable for a man to do this.' 

Continuing, the woman added: 'I have said I don't have any issues with him bathing our son as well, he's a boy. I just believe that girls should be getting washed by their mothers and boys get the same from their fathers.

'It’s just got to do with the fact that mum and daughters have the same parts, same goes for men and their sons.' 

The woman's post goes on to explain how her husband was offended by her views. 

To his response, the woman quipped: 'People play the ‘I was molested card’ so very often these days, I just don’t want in any way to give my kids the chance to even think about that.'

The post was met with mixed reactions from social media users, but not surprisingly the majority were upset and disgruntled by this mother's opinion. 

One commenter wrote, 'You have more than a few screws loose. You shouldn’t even be thinking like that putting your partner in the same category as a child sex predator.'

'This post says a lot about how you see yourself and your negative way of life,' one added. 

One more social media wrote, 'Sad how you tell your husband not to bathe his own kids.'
