To think that my family should go naked

53 replies

Passmethecrisps · 10/08/2013 13:43

For just one day.

Just the one. We could all stay inside. No one would need to see the pale wobbly bits.

I would just like to have 24 hours where I could say that all the laundry was done. All of it. Not one single stray sock or a lonely pair of knickers. All absolutely done.

Washed
Dried
Folded (don't so ironing)
Put away

For just 24 hours.

Am I really being so unreasonable?

We do all the time, when it's warm enough.
Try it!

youmeatsix · 10/08/2013 14:01

and this will be the day several well meaning relatives pop round and let themselves in Grin

LittleprincessinGOLDrocks · 10/08/2013 14:02

It is so tempting!

My son went away for the week last week. DD and I wore nothing other than knickers in the house for the whole week.

I often go naked.

Not for laundry purposes, just because I like it Grin

LieweHeksie · 10/08/2013 14:07

You would end up having to wash the sofa :)

pigletmania · 10/08/2013 14:07

Yanbu to wish it, but yabvu to expect your family would

Pascha · 10/08/2013 14:08

You could only do it this time of year. I wouldn't want to in the depths of winter.

Also the thought of all those bare bums on seats makes me quite queasy, especially where my toddler is concerned. I'd have to wash all the cushion covers the next day.

MadameGazelleIsMyMum · 10/08/2013 14:24

Love this idea. It would work for us, DD is quite the nudist already age 2, and DS likes to be naked or just in a nappy. I usually get into my PJs as soon as I am home from work, and that's only cos its so light ATM that being naked in the kitchen would give my neighbours a fright!

Fire. Good idea.

Paper knickers?

Good nudist etiquette is to always carry a towel, for sitting on.

I dated a nudist, it was ummm... about 40 years ago. She had told me her family were nudists, and I assumed that meant they went to camps on weekends. It was quite a surprise to me, going to their house to meet her parents for the first time, to see a lot more of the parents than I expected, so to speak. Blush

Oh god liewe's comment just made me make a face! how frightfully practical of you liewe Grin

it's nudist cycling that gives me the squeems

Sallyingforth · 10/08/2013 20:56

We do have cloths on our sofa that get regularly washed. And I have one on my office chair where I regularly work naked.
When relatives visit, they take us as they find us - just as we accept their ways when we visit them.
As for the risk of fire, well in that hopefully unlikely event I would leave the house. I do have a coat hanging by the door.

I like your style sallying

I'll bet your laundry pile is often empty!

And I was thinking. If there was a fire I would simply tell neighbours that I had selflessly thrown my clothes on the flames to dampen them

ImNotBloody14 · 10/08/2013 21:02

i can think of nothing worse! Shock

I don't like being naked when anyone else is in the house.

Passmethecrisps · 10/08/2013 21:03

Genuinely i'm not I am actually the same.

Nakedness makes me squirm. I still like the idea of just 24 hours of no washing in the pile though.

Meringue33 · 10/08/2013 21:06

I hate being naked. It's not that I'm modest I just hate the feel of cold air on my skin. I like long sleeves in bed even in summer.

Also shuddering at the idea of seeing the in-laws goolies canadian!

I suppose a solution would be we just turn our pants inside out and back to front and get another wear out of them.

Unreasonable?

I don't like untethered breasticles.

OP posts:
forevergreek · 10/08/2013 21:21

We do this, (Well half ), just pants or nappy depending on age. Most days until after breakfast, and we have spent the odd day last winter all snug under a fur blanket on sofabed in lounge when all flu -ey for a few days. We keep the house toasty all year

ImNotBloody14 · 10/08/2013 21:45

I don't much mind the breasticles having a swing, it's the air about my nethers i'm not so fussed on. I like the 'security' of a pair of knickers. not sure why.

ImNotBloody14 · 10/08/2013 21:46

but yes that feeling of knowing there was literally nothing to go in the machine would be brilliant, even if temporary.

3boys3dogshelp · 10/08/2013 21:51

Pass you would love my kids, I spend glad the time we're at home trying to get clothes on them!

TheDetective · 10/08/2013 22:01

I spend a lot of time in varying states of undress.

We all do.

Well, I say all. I suppose it's just me really. Grin

Have you seen the meme that said 'Someone's coming over, quick everyone put pants on'?!

This is me. But most often it is putting a bra on.

MIL turned up unexpectedly the other week and howled with laughter as I ran upstairs clutching my boobs, screeching about the fact I had no bra on, and yesterdays make up. Grin

I get too warm. Clothes make me hotter.

So, YANBU.

PS. I might have to stop this soon. DS1 is 11. Perhaps he doesn't want to see his mum wandering around naked?! He doesn't seem bothered though!
