Really? Why? You think adoptive parents should treat their kids different to biological ones?

Yes in that specific respect I do.

Both son and daughter bathed naked with both hubby and I.
They will let you know when they become uncomfortable with it, I can still remember the first time our son went behind the sofa to put his pyjamas on.:bawling: All grown up overnight.

I don't see why unless you're a peadophile and in which case the fact that your related by blood or not probably wouldn't matter anyway :shrug:

nothing wrong with it, but I think he knows fine that he'd cause a big fuss over it. Like I said, there's no problem with bathing with your kids whilst your young, but it's not exactly something you'd tell the world about.

I just think that with adopted children there should be rules (and hopefully they are) about acceptable behaviour with young children

But who in their right mind would post a picture like this?

He is a rancid twat of the highest order

Shouldn't accepted behaviour with young children by applicable to all kids, not just adopted ones? Again, I don't understand what your issue would be with it unless the parent was actually a pedo and that wouldn't be good for either an adopted or biological child. When you adopt a baby, you're either their parent or your not :/

You are the parent but not the blood parent and will never be so there should be different rules and hopefully they are.

Still not following your reasoning behind this and what other rules would you be thinking of?

He's the kid's dad. There's nothing creepy about it at all. :umm2:

Now, posting it on social media is another thing altogether but then I'm not one for posting every breath I take on twitter.

But fgs, mum's will only be allowed to bathe their kids with marigolds and blindfolds if this PC crap doesn't stop.

I can see an argument for that when someone adopts an already grown child but when they're adopted from birth then they are effectively the only parent that child has known so is no different to a blood relationship IMO.

Anyway, it doesn't apply to Perez because he's the biological father of these kids.

Yeah exactly

..the same as with maternity leave when someone is having a child, adoptive parents also have a similar bonding leave...(in fact it's a longer time in some cases..).. and are encouraged to form all natural child/parent bonds as if they were the biological parents ...

Yeah. I can't imagine putting any "rules" or barriers in place would help adoptive families to form a real familial relationship, which would be completely unfair.

This is so normal. people are just being ridiculous.

..obviously it would be different/the opposite really with foster parents but not with adoptive parents as although they're not 'biological'...(I know Perez is..)...they're the child's natural parent in terms of every other aspect of their lives.../except genes...

It's not creepy at all, and this is coming from someone who doesn't like Perez

:clap1:

The showering with his son is fine, I'm a little bit iffy about posting pictures of it on twitter however.

I remember having a shower with my sister-in-law and all the bloody hoo Haa that caused so I am not surprised really

, :idc:

...that's because she didn't adopt you first though...

No I did her first

I see no problem with it, I never got in the bath with mine though, it never crossed my mind to :shrug: there was no room at any rate as they were generally in the bath at the same time

The kid looks young enough for it to be perfectly fine. Posting it online is a bit pointless though.

The whole "online backlash" is probably a load of rubbish. You always see articles like this that generalize with "everyone's angry with this..." or "the internet is furious with...". A load of rubbish made to get clicks on websites.
