If I ask my neighbors not to let their 2yo dd out into the garden naked anymore?

[Restingbuttface]

My neighbors are lovely, but they often let their 2.5yo dd naked into the garden on a very regular basis. I have a 13 yo ds and it often embarrasses him and his friends especially when they are out playing in the garden. Do you think I should say something or just leave it? I personally am a bit paranoid about such things and I think if we can see her, who else could be intentionally looking. WIBU if I said something to them or should I leave them to it?

coconut that was a joke post right?

Oh dear. I never comment on these threads usually but yes you are being vv U. I was of the mind set of little children should wear at least pants once they were beyond nappy stage. I now have 3 children who do not share my views. Short of sewing them on there's not much I can do ! All have mine have loved being naked. From about 4 I have encouraged/reinforced pant wearing protocol but even now 6 yr old Dd and 4 yr old DT's will be starkers in a blink if the mood takes them. We are very rural and aren't overlooked at all but do get the occasional passer by who may be surprised by the only partially screened naked trampolining. Dd is gradually getting more self conscious now and she is much more discrete in general but she has a lifetime of body consciousness ahead - I want her innocence and freedom to last as long as it can.

YABVVU

Seriously?

I'd be questioning why your son has an issue.

I'VE GOT IT!!!!!

THIS IS A REVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate reverses.

I don't think it's strange that it embarrasses your ds, teenagers can be very prudish. It's a strange time for them.

I do think you wbu to approach your neighbour about it.

I have a son who's 9 as soon as he gets home from school or anywhere else ,off come his clothes as much as I try to get them back on off the come off. Again he jumps on his trampoline and throws them over the gate as soon as my backs turned he has SN but we have a 6 foot fence so nobody can see Well hopefully not anyhow.

Reverse??

Wow!

Are you as prudish as your child? Does he get it from you?

YABVU. It's their back garden AND she's still a baby at 2 years old. My 2 year old ds loves doing the same! Why should they clothe her just because your son feels uncomfortable? If you don't like it, don't look!

What do you do when you go to the beach? Babies are always toddling around naked.

It better be a reverse...that would make a bit of sense.

Oh, fuck's sake! Is it a reverse?!

have a brew op

My two year old is nearly always naked. He plays in the garden like that (he gets plastered in suncream pp) There's nothing wrong at all. he's just being free and why not? Every toddler I have known has been through a naked phase.

I agree with most pp, your son needs to know that a naked toddler is nothing to be embarrassed by, especially within the confines of their own home.

Opening line:

My neighbors are lovely

DEAD giveaway.

REVERSE.

I considered it was a reverse to its so ridiculous! If so I hate reverses OP - posters cone back in and say it was a reverse yet loads people don't see it and continue to answer first post. Tedious.

Really, ywbvvu to comment. Tell your son to get a grip.

Also, my seven year old DS is often naked. It's his home and that is how he is comfortable. He has ASD so it's probably sensory but either way, it's innocent.

Could you imagine the real mother of it is a reverse?

"I'm sorry to bother you but could you cover your daughter up. My son is so much more precious than your toddler and is getting uncomfortable seeing her naked. I mean come on, it's not very lady like now is it and men just have to be protected in this world"

if someone came round and told me they would prefer it if my kids wore clothes in the garden as it makes their son uncomfortable I'd assume their son was a pervert! I would subsequently ensure my child was never near them/their family & always wearing clothes in the garden, so you would at least get what you wanted!

Ok, if it's a reverse then your neighbour is a loon. I cannot believe that in 2016 people are still prudes about stuff like this and worse, are allowing their children to grow up as prudes. My just 3yr old DD has been naked for most of the summer. Her brothers are, 14,12&5. None of them, nor any of their friends have batted an eyelid. The 14yr old even changed the ocassional nappy until 6mths ago without passing out at the sight of a baby girl's genitals!

Ok I understand the consensus, but not the anger.. from some posts. If I was going to say something I would have said it by now but I genuinely wanted to know if it is the right thing to do.

As for my ds and his friends they are very well brought up thank you and they do not peer into the garden, it's a half fence so you can't help but look. And yes when they mentioned it to me I did say don't look it's their garden they can do what they want etc. But teenage years are awkward...

Agree with arf

Well what did the teens say.... Exactly!?
