I hope you got this resolved. I’d love to hear what you ended up saying to him.

privacy is important!!
he will be staring puberty at 10 or maybe a little more, I believe you need to start putting your foot down.
don’t be to harsh on him though. just start explaining that he is not a baby any more, he is a big boy not a little boy, big boys need privacy and alone time. also mummy needs to be alone and have privacy. explain how important it is it may also be time to have a talk about puberty and how that is going to change him to help with this.

How did you get on with this

I think you should maybe suggest to him that he’s a big boy now! too big to fit in the bath!

This would be difficult hope it all went well for you and your son

Wondering how you went with this? It is better to say no than let it keep going.

Hope you found a way to let him know it is no longer appropriate.

I’d be having a gentle chat about boundaries and personal space…

I hope you has success

I think it is good to stop it now as a regular thing

what have you decided to do?

Mine is 10 and still likes to sometimes get in.

How did you go with this situation?

Liking the great tips on showering

I hope its going well for you and you’ve managed to get him showering on his own

I think it is something that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Perhaps having a gentle chat to him would be the best way to go. He needs to understand about personal space and what is appropriate (and what is not appropriate) at his age.

Yeah I think he needs to be having a shower on his own, have a quiet talk with him and explain he is getting big now and about personal space. My son is only 4, we never shower together.

you should have stopped this quite awhile ago at the age of 9 you should just say no its inappropriate for you to be showering with a nine year old boy

I would just help your son get his clothes organised and say now that his older it’s better if he showers on his own but if he needs help after to dry his hair you will help him. It could possibly be the attention (closeness) he misses so try something new, even if it is to put some gel in his hair. Even let him have a bath with a new toy. Good luck sounds tough.

He is probably almost at an age where it is going to be pretty uncool to be hanging out with mum all of the time. If he does come in asking perhaps just gently tell him that you’re nearly finished and he might as well wait and have the shower all to himself. Maybe tell him that now he is getting to be such a big strong boy that you are finding there isn’t really enough room for both of you anymore.
