to not mind DS 3 running around in the nude

[tryingtobemarypoppins2]

This morning DS's (aged 1 and 3) and I had a very lazy fun morning playing, didn't bother getting washed and dressed until around 11am. It was lovely.

Anyway, approaching bath time, DS 3, stripped off and then got distracted and went for another play for 5 mins.....not big deal, only the door bell went.

As I was running the bath I shouted not to open the door as it was bolted at the top, anyway he was so over excited that someone was at the door he went to open it. I ran downstairs as our neighbour was on the door step and the told DS to wait behind the door as the whole world didn't want to see him nacked!
I opened the door and thanked neighbour for returning some books she borrowed for her grandchildren. Anyway she looked shocked....."Is everything ok" looking me up and down......I explained we were having a lazy morning, but then DS jumped out Boo!! Her face was a picture, "are you sure you are ok?"
I did look crap as still in dressing gown and hair a mess but honestly, she looked shocked....perhaps it was more DS??

AIBU to have mornings like this?!

Oh and younger DS was also present in PJ's and runny nose

It's your home. Why should you be being U?

YANBU - your home, your rules.

YANBU. This morning was a training day and so DS and DD were both in PJs until 5 past noon so the afternoon (just!). Nobody else's business!

Sounds like most days in my house, even on school days when they all start off fully dressed you can guarantee that sometime before they go to bed their clothes will fall off!

I love the fact that they feel so free and uninhibited

On my street mums walk up the road to see their friends in their dressing gowns its fab! Shows they couldn't give a toss! They do get dressed up nice later of course. But in ur house yanbu to dress however u choose! Next time go to door wearing stockings and a suspended belt :)

My DS (ASD) doesn't like to wear clothes. Once I arrived in spar with a half naked DS trying to wrestle his top back on him, luckily the shop workers all know and love him

So YANBU leaving him naked for 5 mins while running the bath.

I'm gutted at the moment as DS is off school with an injury and I am injured too so we are given a carer who comes to shower DS at 6:30 am so I have to be decent by then! I'm so jealous of your lazy morning.

My DD answered the door once stark naked to a Tory party canvasser!

Did speak to her afterwards about not doing it again as she was about 7 at the time, and does do things to shock and see what happens

He looked most embarrassed and ran away very quickly though :)

Thanks all, neighbour is a bit of a nosie lady to say the least! I was expecting the need for a hard hat as I really should make sure DS has his pants on esp when people come to the front door
hanaka88 hope you are all on the mend soon.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your DS running round starkers in his own home either.

And so what if you were not up to much? It was her coming in unannounced to you home, she had to take you as you are.

You could see it as good that she was concerned enough to ask if you were alright though.

You not being alright and her not picking up on it would be much worse IMO.

But then if she's just having a nosey maybe I'm wrong

Dear me, she must lead a very sheltered life if this has caused her such conniptions!

I well remember ds1 and 2's Naked Phase. They once appeared in the kitchen wearing nothing but monster masks and sandals, struck a pose and declared, in unison "We IS the Vicious Brothers". Yes, we did have company at the time and we all collapsed with laughter. Years later we still received Christmas cards to the "Vicious Brothers". Which by then caused said brothers deep embarrassment.

Oh and DS once stripped off when my friend was leaving and ran out of the door and down the street shouting 'widgy' that would have given her something to tut about

Awww...I remember those days. We used to live at the end of a track - about ten cottages, quite a few kids the same age, and there was a lot of mass outdoor streaking in the summer when they were 2 or 3.

Now they're older they are all coy, holding towels around themselves even at the swimming pool changing rooms. They're not little innocent lovelies any more.

Purpleroses - LMAO at your DD !
YANBU - My 2 do the same. Just remember all too soon they're going to grow up.

I remember a flustered day when I answered the door with a naked, chicken poxed ds on my hip - who then proceeded to piss in a perfect arc while my neighbour jumped back in horror!

Ds6 often gets distracted mid morning on the weekend getting dressed. So if I turn away to do something I'll come back and he'll be naked, doing the little boy crouch (how do they do that without getting cramp?) starkers over a pile of lego. With his rear end pointing out towards the patio window overlooking the street, winking at all who pass, twig and berries hanging down.

Certainly a talking point for the elderly Swiss nosey buggars nordic walkers!

Good for him. sounds like fun

Nobodies business. And anyway sounds nice and chilled...and mostly like our house when we can get away with it
