At what age shouldn't your kids see you naked?!

For those who wander around naked, do you not get chilly?

Good idea. Or even teach them to wash each others hair.

One day they will just stop, or you will want to. There’s nothing wrong with nakedness in your situation unless someone is uncomfortable. More complicated with teenagers and opposite sex parents though.

Oh yes- wine and chocolate in my case 😀

Yep, this.

My DS is 10 (although has asd so is young for his age)- he has no issues with seeing me naked, waltzing in when I’m in the shower or whatever.

He is starting to want privacy for himself- won’t change in front of his cousins at swimming/shuts the bathroom door if he is in there etc… but still sometimes changes in front of me.

I just alter how I behave based on how he is behaving- I knock on his bedroom door now, I don’t take all the kids in the big family change at swimming etc.

This is the most important point to dwell on in this thread.

I'm just intrigued from this thread how many families appear to have someone running a bath, undressing, getting into it, and then promptly shouting out and asking for things to be brought to them!

We've got 4 girls (age 10 to late 20s) and we (me and them) all march about naked upstairs sometimes and see each other.

Other times we creep about in a towel. Depends on the mood. Depends on periods ect. Youngest included - sometimes she covers up sometimes she doesn't care.

If DH is around DDs all cover up. Including youngest.

I feel sorry for DH to be honest. He doesn't ever get to march about naked 'cos there's always one of the DDs knocking around somewhere in the house and he wont risk it.

I'm the only one in the house who can, in theory, wander around starkers anytime if i want to. Don't care if DH or DDs see me.

Do whatever's right for the people in your family. I think it's very healthy for your girls to see your body and to see that you're comfortable with it, if you are all happy with that.

My family is relaxed about nudity within the home / family setting; my older child is a young adolescent who remains relaxed about nudity at home, and is confident in their body. If they, or my younger child, stop being relaxed about nudity at home, we will respect that (although I would somewhat resent the palaver of having to put on clothing in order to leave the bedroom or bathroom).

Fazed. The word is fazed in the contexts above. Not ‘phased’.

It varies so much. My friend and her mum used to share a bath when she was 16! I would have been horrified by this.
I remember I used to be naked around my kids until they were maybe 6 and 8 then suddenly I just no longer felt comfortable! I have no idea if they were uncomfortable. They didn't say anything. But I just felt like I should cover up. It was an almost overnight change.

Agree they’ll let you know. My eldest just turned 11
and he was around 9 when he started being careful wrapping himself up after a shower and going back to his room and wanting to do it by himself.

Up to the kids really.

Same as others, I have a 19 DS that still walks in when I get dressed and is not phased in the slightest. I also think it's good that they see normal bodies instead of the ones in the media.

As others have said, they will let you know. Some children make it clear they want privacy quite early... others not so much! My eldest son was quite private from about 7 years old, my eldest daughter had to be told to put some clothes on when visitors were around much later, and she still gets naked at the drop of a hat as an adult, and is very unselfconscious about her body (she's also a doctor so bodies are just her work!)

I would say my dh was more covered up as they grew than me, as like you I'd pop in the shower etc , and even as adults they only see me as mum, and DS2 will wander in if I'm in the bath for a chat..it just hasn't ever occurred to him that I might want privacy!

Different families have differing habits. Friend at school whose parents and whole family had no issue with nudity. Dutch friends who just strip off... your girls will give you cues.

My 8yo still chooses to shower with me or DH. We'll be in the shower and she just comes in so she can carry on talking to us! She has also had a bath with her younger brother and younger cousin. I assume she'll want more privacy in the future.

Never. I have grown up kids who still come in if I’m in the shower or getting dressed or what not to ask if I’ve seen their footy shorts, or that we’re out of milk and am I going out to shops or will they etc. Many of them also do the nuddie walk back from their bathroom to bedrooms as it saves taking the wet towel back to bathroom🤣. No one gives a shit here.

If they or you have an issue with it. There's no age where you 'should' do this or that.

If washing their hair is the only issue, you could wear a swimming costume if either of you felt uncomfortable.

They make it very clear, in my experience. I think mine were both about 9/10 years old.

I think you follow their lead. My eldest is very private about their body and my youngest is starting to get that way but has a bath with the door open and asks for things so it’s a mid was ground. The change seems to happen around going to secondary school.
I don’t parade around naked but they walk in on me in the shower on a regular basis. That’s their choice and I don’t mind. We have other toilet options so it’s not that they have to come in for that. If they get to the point they want to wait to ask me the question till I’m out of the shower and dressed then that’s ok or if that never happens then that’s ok too.

DS wasn’t comfortable seeing me naked at 9. He’s nearly 11 and still sometimes wants to chat when he’s in the shower.

I'm in my early 30s and if I'm staying at my DM's house, I may still pop into the bathroom when she's showering if I need something. Same for her if I'm showering. It's never been an issue with us all my life, even during the teenage years.
I stopped seeing my DF naked or wanting him to see me maybe at around age 10 or 11 though. So it may depend on the relationship and the gender of the parent/children.

Mine are 19, 10 and 8 (gbg) and none of them are bothered by nudity, in the appropriate setting ie shower or getting dressed.
Eldest not keen on siblings going in bathroom when she's there but not bothered if I do.
Youngest two still bath together occasionally but I guess that will stop soon.
Small one does parade about naked downstairs sometimes but I do encourage her to cover her privates 😬🙄

As above. DC will see me naked if I get changed etc. I've tried not to make it a big deal and think it's quite important for them to see non-filtered and photoshopped bodies.
