I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m exhausted. Bath time with my 2 and 4 yearolds has become a full on battle every single night. They scream, cry, run away, and make a huge scene every time I even mention the word bath. I’ve tried everything: bath toys, bubbles, singing songs, letting them choose the soap, you name it. Nothing works. They still act like I’m torturing them.
By the time it’s over, I’m drenched, mentally drained, and just done for the day. I dread bath time now and I feel like a terrible mom because of it. I know it shouldn’t feel like this but I honestly don’t know how much more energy I have to fight these tiny humans over something as simple as getting clean. 
Does anyone else deal with this? Any tips?
Ugh, same. Every night feels like a war zone over here too.
I once skipped baths for an entire week and just told myself they were building the immune system.
I feel you so much on this one. My two used to be the exact same. I swear they acted like the bath was full of acid or something. What helped a bit was making it part of our nightly routine with no exceptions it wasn’t “if” they would take a bath but just “when.” Some nights I’d let them play with toys in the empty tub first to ease them into it. Also, giving them a heads-up like, “Bath time in 5 minutes” helped reduce the drama…sometimes. But honestly, some days are just chaos no matter what you try. You are definitely not alone!
This is exactly what I’m dealing with! Why do kids hate baths so much?? Mine used to love the water and now suddenly it’s like they want nothing to do with it. I’ve started wondering if maybe the water temp isn’t right or if they just get bored in there? Have you noticed if there’s a particular trigger that sets them off, or is it just an all out battle every time for you too?
