I think that's weird..i could see an infant but I met someone who's mother would walk around half naked in front of him and his siblings...and they were adults...that is perverted imo.

    I am naked in front of my 3 girls quite often. They are 3, 5 & 11. Hubby does not get naked in front of them. I don't think it's a big deal, maybe because we are all female.
    My mother never was naked in front of me and I've always been nervous/uncomfortable to be seen naked, so I think this will help my children to feel more comfortable with their bodies.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    I think it depends on the culture you grow up in - I know in some parts of Scandinavia, nudity isn't taboo at all. Even kids' TV shows feature it.

    well yeah that isn't that big of a deal...I think the opposite sex is a bit perverted. The person i was referring to was a guy and it was his mother, but that's my opinion..i guess it depends how you are raised.

    It all depends on what you're comfortable with. I would never walk round the house naked in front of my 12 and 15 year old. That would be weird. Mainly because I've never done it I suppose. The little ones are always walking into my room when I'm changing though. At 3 and 5 I can't see the harm in it, although I don't make a habit of being naked in front of them.

    I would always cover up if I had house guests or visitors though. My brother visited once fairly late in the evening and I was in my PJ's. I went to get dressed at once. It shows a bit of respect imo.

    Oh, I don't think there's any doubt that it's completely taboo in America. I'm gonna throw out the words "Superbowl", "nipple" and "complete meltdown of society", and let everybody piece it together. :p

    Im the same way...I really can't have visitors around when Im n my pjs...unless it's someone Im really close with. I remember my sister and brother in law came over one night and i had my ratty jammies on...i changed...lol

    So, now I'm supposed to deal with the infamous super bowl nudity horror and the pit member reunion ferris wheel tragedy all in one day?

    Enough, good sir, call off your dogs.

    Oh, yeah! I'm fully clothed if anybody comes over.
    I don't hang out naked, but I will go in the pool w/o a bathing suit.
    When I say I'm naked in front of my kids often, I mean that I'm in no rush to get dressed. I take my time after a shower... I don't mean we sit down to movie night with candy and popcorn and I'm in the nude! :eek:

    I agree... As a boy, I remember being little and getting dressed after swimming or whatever with my dad and it wasn't a big deal. But I have never (thankfully :) ) seen my mother naked lol...

    My wife and I were talking about that the other day... We have a 6 month old son so no big deal yet, but we were just talking about how old is too old for him to see her.

    i think that's extremely healthy. i have never seen my mother nude, even in underwear...she always covered up. while i don't have body issues, i do think for a long time it made me uncomfortable growing up and it most definitely makes me uncomfortable when in the presence of relative strangers, such as in a communal dressing room, etc. i think it's important to be comfortable with yourself, in the presence of others, not feel judged nor unnatural....and yes....that it's not a big deal. i think you are wise with how you are raising your girls. :)
    Stay with me...

    See, that makes no sense to me... he's your brother, not some stranger.

    He's my little brother. I left home when he was quite young. And my PJ's were....ahem.... well...they left little to the imagination :o

    It's just not respectful to sit round next to naked y'know?....And you have to consider the other persons feelings.

    I was just thinking about this topic this morning getting dressed in front of my 2 year old daughter. I was wondering at what age that it becomes weird. I think soon. Everytime I come out of the shower and she is in my room she points at IT and stares. lol very weird. Time to change the situation.
    For boys though its fine. Men are men. Big deal.

    LOL the other day I was peeing, standing up of course and she tried to stick her head between my legs from behind to have a look at what was going on. OMG!!!! I had to yell at her for her to get away. Hahahaha

    well yeah it depends on the jammies...some of my summer ones I wouldn't feel comfortable being in around people.
