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?

Of course yabu op .

So are you going to have a serious conversation with your son?

Serious question, did you ever allow your ds to run around naked as a toddler?

Resting you have taken the time to say many things about what people are saying here about your DS - yet still haven't explained WHY your 13 year old DS is embarrassed about seeing a naked 2 year old next door, apart from a very ambiguous "oh the teenage years are so awkward....." post.....

You are being completely unreasonable!

Laiste, Everbody

Asking the question and expressing an opinion is not a reason for personal attacks or damn right rudeness!

Haha this is hilarious, pick out the few posts that are as mad as you!

*It is not normal for teenagers to feel awkward/embarrassed about a naked toddler

that is not within the scope of normal teenage awkwardness!*

^ This. I don't want to insult your DS but it's striking how many people (me included) think his reaction is v odd. I wouldn't imagine a naked or half dressed toddler would even register on anyone's radar....especially if they're in their own garden. Just might be worth giving some head space to where he's got this attitude from and how to maybe be more relaxed/open?

This isn't being a viper, this is being a bully. Ignore them OP, they're all desperate to be in the club and fit in. Disappointing.

Is this thread genuine? I've read the entire thing and it's AIBU at its best.

OP - AIBU?!

Everyone - YES and prudish

OP ignores the majority and cherry picks what to home in on and respond to

I don't know if I'll be able to tear myself away to drool at watch Poldark shortly

Laguna - ds asked me if I could have a word with neighbors as his friends are embarrassed when baby comes out. I said tell them not to look and told him not to look. He himself is ok as he's seen her many times and has not said anything. I do go about naked and he's not embarrassed. Its an age thing and some things are embarrassing and some are not I suppose

In your op he is "often embarrassed" by it. Now he isn't? so your changing your story now? because people aren't agreeing with you

Ok. I'll ask nicely

Why is your son embarassed? What is embarrassing about a naked toddler?

No, they've just agreed with you op.

As pp asked, did your ds have the freedom to be naked when still very young?

Winter is coming. It won't be an issue for long and by next summer she might have grown out of her nudie father Jack phase.

Yes, YABU & can't say anything, as adults, we know they're doing nothing wrong at all.

However, my nearly 13 year old DS would also be terribly embarrassed despite me having tried to bring him up to accept all bodies & natural states as just bog standard normality. Your son is being a typical, normal teenager in his reaction IME, not unusual at all.

OP, you're getting a hard time on here but I don't think it's justified. I agree with the majority of replies that say YWBU to complain to your neighbour (their garden, their rules) but personally I would not let a toddler run about naked where they can be easily seen by others.

No, it's really not an age thing. That's what 95% of posters replying are trying to tell you. Including those of us with teens. It is just NOT a normal teenage reaction to even comment on, or think there is anything strange in a 2 yr old being naked in their own back garden, let alone want you to do something about it.

ds asked me if I could have a word with neighbors as his friends are embarrassed when baby comes out. I said tell them not to look and told him not to look. He himself is ok as he's seen her many times and has not said anything. I do go about naked and he's not embarrassed.

If this is the case, why did you start a thread about talking to the neighbour's about the situation? Either it's about him being embarrassed or it's not, which is it? Would you'd you really possible causes uneasiness with your neighbour's just because of some immature teens, instead of telling them to grow up about seeing a naked baby?

Sirzy - I asked and I can take the response. However I do not and should be insulted neither should my ds or his friends.

So why have you changed your story?

Well I'll leave you all to get on with it. Thanks for the responses good, bad and ugly ( rude) Night all. School tomorrow. Out.

My 2.5yr old has been pottt training this summer. I waited until summer as it meant she could freely roam our garden with no clothes on, therefore less washing for me.
My ds had a friend round who was a bit embarassed so I put some pants on her. I think he was embarrassed as he has 2 older brothers so isn't used to seeing naked little children, girls in particular. Whereas my ds wouldn't be phased if it was someone else's little sister as it's normal for him to have a naked 2.5yr old running about

Eh?
