What are your opinions on a guest sleeping naked in someone else's house?

[SailorMars7]

I'm talking here about a male, late 60s to early 70s, who always sleeps naked and this includes when being a guest in someone's home.
Also, would you be comfortable letting you DC visit and sleep in the same house with this man (he is granny's husband)?

My husband and I always sleep naked. Except when the grandkids stay over then he wears boxers and I wear a nightdress just in case of nocturnal visitors or emergencies. Same if we stay over at theirs as early visitors climbing into bed with you all sleepy and snuggly is the best.

I’m really curious - people who are adamant they must sleep naked and have kids. Do you make your kids sleep naked too?!

Can’t imagine not putting my kids in pyjamas especially in winter?!

But how else would she know he sleeps naked? I inferred from the post that she must have seen him at some point otherwise why bother posting.

OP no way would I let my kids stay there, if he can’t show good enough judgement to cover up when staying at someone’s house I just couldn’t trust it. Either he’s clueless/selfish or he gets off on it 🤢

“Would you like some PJs for your Christmas present, Bob?”
”No thanks, I don’t wear anything when I sleep”

However, we wait to see if OP will return.

Fine to sleep naked.

Not fine to leave the bedroom naked if you have guests or you are a guest.

Also best to wear something if kids (other than your own) might come into your room/bed.

My DH now sleeps in pants in other people’s houses after sleepwalking naked into my friends room while staying at theirs. Their laughter woke him up. I was mortified at breakfast, he just styled it out.

Her mum (his wife) told her?

My parents used to sleep naked when I was a child, I've no idea if they do now when visiting me or when I'm visiting them. It never occurred to me to think about it.

Having said that, and because this man is unrelated to you and your children, is there a reason you're feeling this is 'off'? If so, stick with your gut about it and protect your kids.

Why would they/I? What a strange question.
It's not a lifestyle choice such as veganism or a religious belief. I don't feel comfortable sleeping in clothing, but why would I force someone else to sleep naked?

And there it is. All the posters going how weird, how else would you sleep etc. The real question was how does OP know - she knows because he is walking around naked outside the room.

@SailorMars7 No, I wouldn't send my daughter there alone.

I sleep naked.

If I am a guest in someone’s home, the least I’ll do is wear a bra and underwear.

I wouldn’t dream of sleeping naked in someone else’s home, especially with kids there.

And I definitely wouldn’t walk around naked or in my underwear.

Why? Is having sex outside of your own bedroom prohibited?

Hope he has an en suite so no fear of meeting him in the corridor at 3am!

Why? Do you think naked people wash less than clothed people? And no-one has pubes anymore do they?

Nobody has pubic hair anymore do they? It’s not the 1970s.

Yawn.

“She said he leaves the room naked so that’s the real issue.”!
No, she hasn’t.

Yes, she has, in her second post.

I suppose it's the walking around naked outside the room that bothers me. Like going to the toilet without covering up

OP, you're posting on Mumsnet; you may remember the ghastly thread about poo crumbs. Is this what you're worried about? I would be.

Although she hasn’t actually confirmed that he does that - it’s unclear from her post whether she’s actually seen him do this, or just assumes that he must.

I asked her to clarify, and she hasn’t answered.

Ah, ok. I assumed since she said it bothered her she had seen him/knew that he did do this!

I am not sure if OP will be back though.

I sleep almost naked but take a long t shirt with me to sling on if I need to go to the bathroom, just ask them to do that.

I always sleep naked wherever I am and I consider myself totally safe and normal.
I've never been asked to sleep with clothes on.
Quite a weird idea to have issues with this.
If said person displays his nakedness outside the bedroom then that is a potential problem.
