By age 7 many girls have matured enough to be bathed by themselves, and by age 12 they are old enough to babysit. I think a lot of you are overestimating the age at which boys are mature enough to babysit or even bathe themselves. I have babysat for boys and girls from infant to 13, and had to bathe many of them as part of my job requirement. Boys are a lot more lax than girls about nudity, so I don't see where anyone is coming from saying that he would be humiliated or embarrassed. Nudity isn't sexual unless you change it to fit your own sick fantasy.

Elizabeth, you are a sexist pig. As are many of you females. 12yo boys are not babies, and 12yo girls are not women. I find it utterly offensive that so many of you have no regards for the feelings of a person when he happens to be male. And many of you are the same people who would accuse men of insensitivity. Women can be molesters as easily as men can be, so open your eyes there too. Carolina Mom scares me.. if she is real. She seems to think she still needs to wash under the foreskin of her 12yo son to make sure it's clean? Hah. Right.
This all boils down to people respecting other people's feelings, WHATEVER the age. If you think you can disregard the uncomfortable feelings of your child in this matter because "mama knows best," that is BS, and you are a molester from that point onward. Respect your children's feelings, whatever their sex or age.
