How can an adult look like a child?

I liked my dad more and he was more fun when he bathed me. He'd let me have bath toys and play with his shaving cream. I always took a bath before dinner and my mom always made dinner, therefore, my mother was busy and so my dad helped me wash my hair. It was fun and a good memory, and unless someone is uncomfortable with it how could that be inappropriate? What is the cut off in childhood for when your parents are allowed to see you naked? I didn't hit puberty until I was 13, in case that was what you were worried about.

What's the cut-off point? I'd say 7 at the oldest; most kids reach a certain way of modesty at some point and 9 is definitely up there; I'm extremely sensitive about people's privacy and if I ever sense that an adult is crossing a line in privacy, with other adults or a kid (which once again does not have to involve sexuality), it makes me very upset. I know you weren't uncomfortable, but once again if you were just sitting down while your dad washed your hair with your back to him, I don't see it as a big deal. My friend's stepsister needs help with hair sometimes and wears a bathing suit then.

Back on topic.
Somebody else already mentioned hypo-pituitarianism & turner's syndrome, but another way (& the most common one, if I remember correctly) is to get a disease
before
you reach puberty (example= measles) where you end up running a high fever long enough that it destroys your pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is the part of your brain that regulates the released of hormones, so if that goes bye-bye before your puberty, you stop aging.
IF I want your opinion, I'll GIVE it to you. -

But she didn't really stop aging. Once she take of the make up (hiding her pours, wrinkles etc) and removed the false teeth (to hide her adult ones), she pretty much looked her real age. Also, as someone else pointed out, she was binding her breasts, so she did go through puberty.
It seemed to me that she more likely had some form of rare dwarfism- where her body was the proportionate size of a child, but she still continued to age and develop. I think the guy at the hospital says this too. -

the doctor mentioned it was a form of dwarfism that was proportionate. So she didnt look like a dwarf she looked like a child
I remember years ago seeing an episode of Maury (was that his name) and 3 people with that condition were being interviewed. One man was an actor at 28 but he played children on tv so they could get round child labour laws etc. -

You're right, why not have kids leave all doors open when they use the bathroom or undress? I suppose all the trash we have about sex now is proof we're just too uptight about nudity.
"There might even be a kind of borderline sexuality in a father and daughter's affections, if so.. get over THAT."
Okay..you're just weird. -

No, he is not freak, he is right. In Scandinavian countries for instance, it's quite common that families bath together. And yet they have much lower rates of child abuse than usa.
Perhaps in Sweden somebody would call you a freak. -

Are you even paying attention to what I'm replying to? The moron who said there might even be a borderline sexuality between father and daughter and that that's fine; he's a a FREAK. And I've heard things about countries like Sweden and Denmark that push the envelopes of what abuse even means. That is way too liberal for most families period depending on the age groups, and there's no logical correlation between bathing together and there being less pedos; those are smaller countries all the way around.

Lol what? I ran around topless just like my brother until I was 10 and my mom told me it wasn't lady like anymore.
How the hell can a dad bathing his daughter being inappropriate? What a creepy way of thought. -

I KNOW my first thought was SOMEONE was molested as a child! some people have the dirtiest minds, i thought it was a cute story.
Anyway, I have a story to knock yours out the water- my dad had to bathe me when I was 17!!! I broke both my arms in a car accident and couldn't do anything by myself for months. A friend would help me sometimes but i couldn't very well ask her to comeover everynight. (my mother died when i was 12, so that's not an option)
I'm sure someone will suggest that we should have hired a good puritan grandma to help me wash my hair but AMAZINGLY enough, i was more comfortable with my dad, even though he was a male. (like most would be)
So yeah, it was awkward and he averted his eyes and I blushed but we got over it pretty quickly. It was much less awkward then whenever I had to call for him to wipe my butt.
