When Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis revealed their hygiene habits, there was much discussion about how many times we should bathe in a week.
But that was over two years ago, and the thought of parents not bathing their kids still irks people. A video shared on TikTok by The Him and Her Show has ruffled some feathers about the same topic.
This time, it was a Holistic Nurse Practitioner, Veronica Max, who shared that her kids bathe maybe once a week.
Veronica revealed that she lets her kids do what they want. She has four children between the ages of two and ten. She said: "I have four children. I'm not going to fight with my kids over little stupid things like bathing."
She spoke about how they have a pool and how the kids enjoy swimming during the summer. According to the kids, swimming is considered a 'bath'.
Max is a progressive parent and shared that her priority with her kids is to have them make their own decisions.
Of course, people were happy to share their opinions.
- "Swimming to replace bathing is crazy work"
- "Working in healthcare and having this POV is wild"
- "As a Latina, we bathe 2 times a day - morning and night. On hot summer days, he gets 3 baths, one after the park."
- "My African parents would scream listening to this"
- "Swimming in chlorine on a daily basis, hair & all. & NOT BATH is crazy"
- "This is just lazy parenting :( Kids can’t do whatever, it’s your job as a parent to teach them habits, especially hygiene"
- "Children need to be taught how to be hygienic. This is disgusting"
