    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

    yeah you might want to change the situation soon..

    If she's only 2 then I wouldn't panic yet. She's just showing a bit of healthy curiosity, thats all. I bet you feel far more uncomfortable with the situation than she does.

    lol! My daughter always points and laughs and says "boobies!" when she sees me naked. :D

    The other day she saw me getting dressed and she said "ooh, good job puttin' on big girl underpants, mama!" lol :D She was proud of me.

    However, my husband has not let her see him naked since she was about 6 months old. He is horrified by the thought...lol.

    My dad always walked around the house in his underware...I guess it was just a part of life and I was used to it.

    I grew up in Wales and in the UK nudity is viewed very differently from in the US. My parents always walked around naked in the morning from the bedroom to the bathroom etc, and they both slept naked. I never really though anything of it.

    I always did the same when I had my own child and never really thought about it either. I always sleep naked also. Once she became a teenager though, and my new guy moved in with us, I stopped doing it because he felt a little weird about it - he did not grow up the same way. I still will walk around in my undies and bra, but not totally naked anymore.

    I personally don't see anything wrong with it.

    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    I can respect that. But if someone is uncomfortable with it..that should be respected. It was cool of you to respect his feelings.

    Yeah, thats me. I'm in my underware right now and the kids are right here. I often answer the door in my underware. If someone comes in, I'll put some shorts on.

    I think it is important for a child to see there parents naked, for the first couple of years it helps for them to identify with and allthough they come out with some awkward stuff(had a similar experience with my son at about the same age accoustic guy):) it's funny, my son would often have moments saying what sex everyone in his family was he would go through me and his mam then onto his brother and sister getting them all right then he would say "and nana's a man aswell", hehe used to crack me up.:D
    Can not be arsed with life no more.

    Yup, that's exactly how my dad was. I remember one time in high school bringing friends home...and there's dad...in his underware...not even embarrassed about it. I was mortified. I haven't lived at home in years...but I haven't seen him do it lately...but who knows..

    My brother walks around in his underware, too....I guess boxers aren't a big deal.

    I guess children only start to feel uncomfortable with nudity when they enter puberty. Parents then should be respectful. Before that, it's just natural and no deal at all. We have family dressing rooms in public indoor swimming-pools, so we dress and undress even in the presence of other families. There never was a problem, not a place for flashers. And of course you have to tell your children not to stare at others!

    Hell, boxers cover more than the old NBA shorts used to. I've been known to swim publicly in my boxers...

    Mine won't fit through that hole, so I don't worry about it falling out... Actually, a lot of boxers have a button for the worm hole.

    Same here.

    Also in Europe if you go to most hotel swimming pools on the continent and beaches (not just nudist beaches) there are going to be a good percentage of the women who are topless so I know I always saw my Mum (and even my Grandma :p) topless when we were on holiday.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
