question for parents...
Recently, my husband was going to watch our 3-month old girl for a few hours while I got out of the house. He invited his best buddy (male) over to hang out and help. My husband said that they would give our girl a bath. I asked that he not bathe her with his friend there. I said to him that I didn't think it was appropriate. It's not that I don't trust his friend, but I just didn't see a reason why his friend needed to bathe my daughter.

Was I being paranoid? Where do you draw the line? Any thoughts out there?

Thanks.

3. i guess if you aren't comfortable with it then it's not unreasonable
i don't think i ever bathed my daughter with any visitor at my house besides maybe my sister.

4. I probably wouldn't let him bathe my girls...
...and it strikes me as odd that he'd want to. But then I'm paranoid, with reason.

The only other people who bathe my girls aside from my husband and myself are the grandmothers. My m-i-l is a registered pediatric nurse and my mom is more paranoid than I am.

Go with your gut on this one.
