A friend of mine with a 10 yo boy (same age as mine) and an enclosed pool (not in her house but enclosed) had a pool party for her, my, and 3 other 10 yo boys. The pool had a single shower/changing room that would easily accommodate the five boys. She hired an 18yo girl (who had babysat the boys in past years) to assist her with the party. Most of the time it was just her and her 18 yo assistant, but near the end I and another mom arrived to help wrap things up and get the boys ready to go home. While the boys were in the shower, it became clear from the noise that there was some running and misbehaving going on. The 18yo had her bathing suit on, so she stepped into the shower room to calm things down - she was in there for less than a minute.The boys had no problem, except that their fun was interrupted. However, a few days later one of the other moms (who was not there) commented that it was inappropriate for the older girl to step into the shower room with boys of that age.The mom who had the party is planning another next month. She asked me if I thought it was inappropriate. My son saw nothing wrong with it. A few years ago the same girl was assisting me and other moms giving baths to our boys, they should be used to her.What does everyone else think? Was it appropriate for the 18yo girl to see the 10yo boys in the shower? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2iwBbO2
