When it comes to bathing their children, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have a pretty unique philosophy
Bathing their children is now a regular habit for many parents. Depending on where you live, some parents bathe their children twice or three times a day.
That’s why many people would be surprised to hear that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher take completely different approaches to bathing their children.
That’s because the co-stars of That 70s Show only bathe their children when they become dirty. Many specialists, it turns out, agree.
It’s no secret that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are two of Hollywood’s most popular stars. They’ve been making waves with their many film and television projects since landing starring roles in the smash 2000s sitcom That 70s Show.
The couple appeared on Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert recently and began discussing the issue of children. Shepard is also notably married to Kristen Bell, an American sweetheart.
Both of them, like Mila and Ashton, have children. Mila and Ashton both stated that they don’t bathe their children as regularly as other parents when they were discussing about parenting.
“If you can see the dirt on them, clean them,“ Kutcher said. “Otherwise, there’s no point.”
Much of this comes from Kunis’ own childhood experiences. Bathing was practically a luxury for Kunis because her family didn’t have access to hot water.
As a result, they only showered when they believed it was essential. She carried on this pattern into adulthood, and it appears that she is using the same approach at home as well.
Internet reaction:
The internet, like with any topic, was destined to have a few reactions to the couple’s surprise. With his hand covering his nose, Edward Cullen is noticeably uncomfortable in this tweet:
Another tweet showed a Spongebob Squarepants character driving a car while sobbing from a cartoonish stink.
What does science say about this?
While many people mock the couple for their decisions, it turns out that they’re doing nothing wrong. Many experts believe that the Kutcher family is doing everything correctly.
This is because children do not develop body odor to the same extent as adults. Unnecessary exposure to soaps and shampoos can also raise the risk of skin irritation and eczema in children.
“We take daily showers as adults because of smell and body odor, but small children don’t have that scent or body odor,” one doctor noted.
