Cute interview – Valerie I agree with you. She used to say this a lot when Lily was like 6 or 7 years old – I doubt she still puts her in the bath now. She just means she doesn’t want to miss normal parent duties.

She may have said that out of habit- something she used to always say when her daughter was younger and the expression still was used even though she just means she needs to be home.

Lily is the image of her father (Michael Sheen)!

Oh people, don’t take every word somebody says so seriously. I assume she just wanted to express that the child dictates her daily schedule and that it is important for her being together with her daughter which is good and normal, in my opinion.

April- I agree! When my brother was around Lily’s age, he was practically allergic to the shower/tub! As for me….I guess I’m weird, because I’ve always enjoyed baths!

I’m sure Kate doesn’t actually give Lily a bath, but most kids that age will do anything to avoid bathing. Kate probably has to get on her about getting in the shower NOW and that’s likely what she means.

I think maybe she meant it more as “my kid needs me at home so I have to leave” as opposed to actually helping her bathe.

I hope I’m misunderstanding and she was joking about giving her 10 1/2 year old a bath 0_0

I understand Kate’s desire to be home in time for her daughter’s shower, but can’t Lily learn to take her own shower? Kate says she “puts her kid in a bath”, so I’m figuring she means she’s right there assisting Lily. When my son’s were young, they were taking showers by the time they were nine years old. Granted, they made a mess in the bathroom, but that was not a big deal to me. At least I didn’t have to stand over them and could go and do other things, like fix dinner.

Anyway, this is how I understood the article, that Lily doesn’t shower or bathe without assistance. Seems a bit old for that, if it’s true.
