    Default do you bath your kids beforer or after tea?

    I use to do it after tea, right before bed...but i have changed to doing it before tea

    I find it so much easier to do it at around 4pm...and because it is that time, it got me thinking when others do it??

    it is easier to do it before tea, as after tea dishes can be done, a play/family time and then bed...

    Getting back into the routine of before dinner - so around now.

    For us, if we bath them after dinner, it means that DD is getting to bed too late, and then she wakes tired for school the next day.

    My 2 are old enough now as well, that they don't spill their dinner all over them - just means a quick wash of face and hands before bed.

    We have dinner at 6pm, bath time at 7pm, then story time at 8pm, lights out by 8.15pm.

    I found that DD got too excited playing with daddy after dinner, besides I've just always bathed her before bed!
