Mom creates online outrage when she says her kids bath once a week

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."
