To be nearly naked and in full view and not care?

Writerwannabe83 · 10/03/2014 17:09

Currently 37 weeks pregnant, sporting a very big belly and very big boobs and no matter what I wear I feel really, really uncomfortable. Everything feels so tight and restrictive - bras are unbearable and even my maternity jeans and leggings are leaving waistband imprint marks across my stomach because of how tight they now are.

As a result, whenever I come home I put the heating on, wait for the house to warm up a little and then I strip off down to just my huge sized granny knickers and then happily spend my evening like this Grin

Due to the layout of our estate I know that when I'm in the kitchen (nearly naked cooking or nearly naked washing up for example) people can undoubtedly see me - but I just don't care!! If people can't cope with seeing a heavily pregnant women in just a pair of pants then it's not my problem Grin

I was telling my sister about it earlier and she was Gobsmacked and said I really shouldn't be doing it so as not to offend anyone - she said some people don't like the look of pregnant women, let alone ones with their bump and boobs hanging out!

AIBU though to just not care??
I just want to be semi-naked and comfortable in my own house!!!

I'm a bit concerned about enjoying being semi-naked so much though Grin

I've an idea that might proper put you off

Men wanking outside your kitchen window as you're so 'desirable' - true fetish.

I wouldn't have wanted anyone to see my naked whilst pregnant, especially randoms who could see into my house! Yabu...buy a massive t shirt at least or put on a dressing gown!

MojitoMomonga · 10/03/2014 18:32

I'd recommend getting rid of the pants as well, they might get in the way quite soon.

MistressDeeCee · 10/03/2014 18:42

If a man was walking around naked in his own home with his cock swaying in the breeze knowing " he could undoubtedly be seen" would that be an issue?

StealthPolarBear · 10/03/2014 18:46

I do this sort of thing from timd to time. Not deliberately but rushing around and think I have passed a window.
I get to the point of thinking if someone is desperate to see my wobbly body they probably deserve to.

honeythewitch · 10/03/2014 18:53

If you dont want to end up on youtube,close the curtains.

Salmotrutta · 10/03/2014 19:12

See, I swear there was a thread around Christmas where an MNer had taken umbrage at a naked bloke parading round his house with the curtains open as she walked past?

People said it was weird/strange...

Or did I imagine that story? Confused

StealthPolarBear · 10/03/2014 19:15

It is weird and strange. As am I :)

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 10/03/2014 19:15

Think you should close the curtains. And lose the granny pants. Wear one of your DHs shirts or T shirts.

StealthPolarBear · 10/03/2014 19:17

Have you seen my knickers? Shock

rabbitlady · 10/03/2014 19:17

close the curtains, and make sure you can't be seen through them. its indecent exposure.

ipswichwitch · 10/03/2014 19:18

No yanbu. If people don't like it they should stop gawping through your windows

NeedsAsockamnesty · 10/03/2014 19:19

You are in your own home anybody who is offended should stop looking in

VivaLeBeaver · 10/03/2014 19:25

I used to work with someone who was charged with indecent exposure for not wearing any trousers or pants in his own front room. Local kids complained they could see him. He wasn't standing in the window or anything. Went all the way to court and a trial but he was found not guilty.

FraidyCat · 10/03/2014 19:27

Seeing someone wouldn't bother me, but I do think it's a bit unfair that if a man were being a naked chef, he'd probably be arrested.

Salmotrutta · 10/03/2014 19:31

That's what I mean - I'm sure that other thread about Naked-Christmas-Man provoked unfavourable responses from MNers who viewed it as all very unsavoury!

I'm sure I'm not making that thread up

Artandco · 10/03/2014 19:38

Nah. I don't wander around all day naked, but don't rush getting dressed from shower and will wander around flat drying hair/ making kids breakfast etc in a pair of pants most days. Dh lives in just boxers most the time. And our children seem to wear either nothing, or everything ( ie half culboard, hats, gloves etc and play Lego!), they are 4 and under though so I figure that's fine

wigglybeezer · 10/03/2014 19:46

You all must have better heating than me, and no judgemental teens in the house.

TheBody · 10/03/2014 19:51

oh I ironed my bump too. very bad.

op you are a pregnant woman so whatever you do is perfectly fine. grin

TheBody · 10/03/2014 19:52

btw mine are all at home here, 24,23,15,14 so no stripping here! eeek!

Writerwannabe83 · 10/03/2014 20:32

I'm worried now that people think I stand naked in front of windows that look out onto the street Grin

I'm never fully naked - granny knickers are always on Grin

My husband always finds it quite amusing to come home and find me randomly naked.

If I'm just in the kitchen doing kitchen stuff I don't bother with clothes (except the pants) but if I need to open the kitchen doors for any reason (double glass doors that open onto the back garden) then I make sure I have a t-shirt on Grin

There's something different about being semi-naked in the comfort of an enclosed kitchen as opposed to being semi-naked whilst opening the back door to let the cat out Grin

I'm on the fence. On the one hand, I'll die in a ditch for any woman's right to wear just whatever she chooses. On the other hand, my neighbours across the back lane seem to be always naked on their bathroom when I'm at my kitchen sink.

For some reason their patterned glass is ineffective when they've got the bathroom light on 24 hrs a day and my angle of sight is about level with their bathroom sink. I don't know why this is when I'm on the ground floor and they are upstairs, but it's only from the kitchen that it's a problem. I am sick to bloody death of the sight of them naked. I wouldn't recognize any them with their clothes on...

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 10/03/2014 20:40

Steer clear of frying while semi naked - fat spits a fair way and that is agony on a pg bump

Other than that YANBU.

MistressDeeCee · 10/03/2014 20:52

Writerwannabe83 but depending on window angle the granny knicks may not be on view, hence people may assume you're standing there butt naked. You've probably got a fan club Grin

Something endearing about DH finding it amusing :) good for you.

Writerwannabe83 · 10/03/2014 20:58

Believe me - there's no hiding the granny pants!! They are so ridiculously huge that they actually pull up high enough to cover half the bump Grin

They are so bloody comfy though!!!

I think that's what my DH find amusing - I look too stupid for words when I'm wearing them Grin
