What age do you think is a good time to stop being naked in front of your little one? I'm talking about the age of the kid, not our ages What about hubby? Or do you think it doesn't matter ever?

[SarahBethsMommy]

I don't think it really matters. But then I know a lot of folks are more modest than my family is. LOL.

hmm, I was just thinking about this the other day. Kaitlyn is 4, and see's me all the time and even gets in the shower with me sometimes but I've felt a little awkward lately having her in there so I started giving her and Kail a bath, THEN I get in so she wont ask to take one with me since she just got out. She's never seen dh completely naked, but she did walk in on him one time when he was in the shower but he didnt think she seen anything and she never asked about anything.

At her age, I dont think its appropriate for her to seen grown men, just like I dont thinks boys 4-5 or up should see women fully naked at least not genitals.

I've been teaching Kaitlyn about genitals being private and not to show or touch others. Thats just my opinion though, I'm sure others will feel differently.

I don't know. We were definitely a "closed door" family when I was growing up but I think I would like to be a little more open about things in general. I don't really know how we will we be as far as nakedness though. I think we'll just play it by ear and do what feels right for us.

I have no idea...I honestly always felt kinda uncomfortable, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it, if that makes sense. Like I'd rather her not be there when I changed or used the potty but it can't be helped. I remember hubby asking me when she was really young when he should stop being naked in front of her and I just randomly said "two?" but I have no idea. A part of me thinks it doesn't really matter and another part thinks its a good idea to start covering up, but I don't know at what point. I don't think it matters right now.

I think if you take the attitude that nakedness among family is ok, the kids will grow up with a healthier attitude about it. Pretty much in my family my mom never hid her nakedness from me but I can't remember seeing my dad naked except for once by accident and it was embarrassing. I hope to make it not embarrassing for our family. Of course, when Juliana hits puberty I expect she'll be covering up in front of her dad.

Honestly we haven't thought about it much yet. I know a friend of mine wouldn't even be naked in front of her infant daughter (like 3 months old) and others that have a very open door policy. It's a tough topic.

My mom still gets butt naked in front of me! I don't think Leah should see DH naked after the age of maybe 4ish. I used to take baths with my Dad until I was about that age (he would wear underwear. Supposedly one day I asked him "what's under that?" and that was the last day we ever took a bath together.

[.s.o.p.h.]

I haven't really thought about it. I'll still go into the bathroom to get something I need if my mum is in the shower. I'll get changed infront of friends and family etc I think around age 4 would sound about right for Rick to stop though

[ElizabethS]

I'm perfectly comfortable naked around my daughter (she is age 3). She has recently started asking questions though and being curious so I may have to stop. I won't purposely be naked in front Alex (he's 5) but sometimes he might walk in while I'm dressing but he doesn't seem uncomfortable. I figure when they start acting uncomfortable that is definitely time to make sure doors are locked when changing or naked!

Of course I am never naked in front my stepsons (ages 4 and 2) because that's just weird. Never!

Concerning DH, dd1 was two-ish. We started seeing her as a little girl more than a baby. Concerning me, I have no issue with my daughters seeing me naked.

[dinamommy]

My daughters still beg to get in the bath with me if I'm every lucky enough to sneak in there alone. They have no issues with nakedness at all. Now, their dad is super modest and won't let them see him naked---never has. LOL. Funny story. Once Tyrael walked in on him in the bathroom when she was around five and started yelling, "I saw it! I saw it!" when he kicked her out. Crazy kid.

I have no idea with Eli. I guess I'll have to be a little more careful with modesty with him when he gets older. I'd say two, but he'll probably still be nursing when he hits two, so that won't work. LOL!

[starrsgirl]

No clue....I will say, that even though we might not do naked once E gets older, we are a fairly minimally dressed family at home. I usually live in little shorts and a sports bra and DH hangs in his boxers at night. I guess I was thinking school age just to set the example that we don't get naked with other people, haha.

My mom still will get naked in front of me! As for my kids, I don't have any problem being naked in front of Grace. I don't think I ever will. She's a girl, I'm a girl, I don't see it as being a problem. Now with Caleb, probably around 3ish. DH will not let Grace see him with out clothes on though and is even getting skittish about giving her a bath. I know the other day she was telling DH that her pee-pee hurt and he had me go into her room to look at it because he didn't feel comfortable doing it himself.

I agree with this! Caden is 4 and he has started to ask 100 questions. Which I don't mind, but he is very aware.. He has actually started to be modest around other family members. He just doesn't feel comfortable. We have also started the talk about privacy and private parts. I am very big on this, I don't know if it has to do with my past history of sexual abuse or not. I guess it does.

depends on the kid and how you feel. i was naked in front of riley up until a couple years ago. and i nurse in front of him so i have no issues with my top off. the more he sees me breastfeed and that breasts aren't sexual, the better!
