Man I hate to sterotype people..but "bath day" can only be conducted by white people...
Since I've been working at this Montessori school maybe 5 kids participate in "bath day"... They are all white.
When I first heard the other teachers talking about "bath day" I couldn't believe that people actually planned days for their children to get cleaned..
In my head I'm thinking...These little rugrats are outside for maybe 3 hours each day, rolling in and throwing wood chips. They sweat and when they're done playing they smell like all of great out doors..Ya'll know that smell that you get when you stand outside even if you don't play? Well imagine it on a child who does play..PU!
One of the elementary students was like " I don't have to take baths on Mondays, Wendsays, or Fridays"... I was thinking that's why you smell like that.. lol
I know my baby girl takes a bath everyday. Mainly at night..then when she wakes up in the morning before I get her dressed I wash her up...and reapply her lotion and powder. One thing I can't stand is a stinky kid. Kids are a reflection of their parents, and I believe when you look at my lil one you see perfection...
So what do you guys think..Parents or not..What do you think about "bath day"..Is it a cultural difference, or a hygein thing?

I love the kids though.Wit their bad asses! Back in the day I enjoyed long walks on the beach with my friends, but since I moved from Michigan to Atlanta where there is no beach at. All I can do is reminisce about stomping the sand from my flip flops as I walked into my mothers house. I don’t like math. In fact I loathe it. I was a Montessori child myself, and it made me that way. I am an advocate for mental health. Everyday I fight to break down the stigma. And I will keep going on and on because I love to write.

Ew. I don't think it's a cultural thing, I mean I shower twice a day every day. Maybe it's a social class thing, or the parents need an excuse to be lazy. Either way, gross.
I don't know if it's a cultural difference, but EVERYONE should take a bath. It's not like they don't have a bathroom and deprived of water. Why would they let their children go on stinking when they DON'T HAVE TO? I don't get it. What is the world coming to these days..
I have never heard of such a thing.
I hate that "outside" smell.
I don't give my kids a bath everyday if they don't need it. My oldest, yes because she's getting older and I want her to get used to it before those sweat glands kick in. The younger two take baths every other day. However, if they have been out playing or are just dirty then in the tub they go. I do wash them up on the off days...But not on Mon/Wed/Fri...who stinks just on those days of the week?
I think it is a culture thing.
VP- Yeah...I think they are plain lazy...
Erika- No hunny. I'm sorry I'ma have to disagree w/ you on this one..It seems to me that you do have bath day..lol..Washing up is not good enough with out a bath before..they need to wash off their dead skin cells..and learn that people takes baths everyday..and you stay home with them right? Girl put them kids in the tub every..Pleaseee...I'm not jumping down your throat..okay..just a suggestion..I still luvs you..
