Mum bans husband from bathing daughters 'because they have different body parts'

A Queensland mum has triggered online debate after saying her husband is upset because she refuses to let him bathe their daughters.

On Monday, the mother shared the post on her "bath ban" to Facebook, explaining she had no issue with her husband bathing their son.

"So hubby is upset with me because I have told him that I don't (sic) wash our two daughters in the bath or shower," she wrote.

"I just don't feel comfortable for a man to do this.

"I just believe that girls should be getting washed by their mothers and boys get the same from their fathers.

"It's just got to do with the fact that mum and daughters have the same parts, same goes for men and their sons."

The woman said her husband was "upset" about the ban.

"People play the 'I was molested card' so very often these days, I just don't want in any way to give my kids the chance to even think about that," she said.

The mother's post had divided responses online and while she received some support, others slammed her for treating her husband as a predator.

"When my little baby girl was born, the very first day in hospital, the staff took me in to the bathing area, showed me how to hold her, how to support her head, check the temperature of the water with your shoulder and elbow," Radio Hot Tomato's Mal Lees told Sunrise.

"I wanted to be hands on and every father is the same. It is not their problem, it is this woman's problem."
