Just walked in on my husband standing stark naked in front of his mother

Just walked in on my 34 year old husband brushing his hair having come out of the shower and his mother was standing there talking to him. He was STARK NAKED. That's so weird isn't it? I told him it was weird and said I wouldn't stand naked in front of my dad and he kind of conceded. I'm freaked out. AIBU?

Fucking weird that a mother would want to see her adult son's knob

Word. Grin

Weird as fuck 🤢😷

Fairylea · 24/12/2017 13:31

That’s very weird.

But I guess there are a lot of naturists and people who don’t see being naked as a “thing”... I’d be Shock though!

Moanaohnana · 24/12/2017 13:32

By the way I seriously doubt if some of the superior, too-cool-for-everything posters replying here would have a chat with their dad with their boobs and fanny out.

Angelicinnocent · 24/12/2017 13:32

Weird. No hang ups about nudity and I wouldn't freak out if I walked in on my adult DC getting changed or if they walked in on me but I wouldn't stand there talking to them if that happened. Normally would just say something like sorry, can you come and talk to me when you are ready.

If bloke was in his own bedroom and the mother walked in, why didn't she just turn round and sod off.
Surely not an urgent conversation that couldn't have waited 5 mins until he was dressed?

Littlechocola · 24/12/2017 13:34

I don’t find it that weird. I’m guessing that he’s comfortable within his own skin.

strugglingtodomybest · 24/12/2017 13:35

Not normal in my family, but I get that other people are different.

InsomniacAnonymous · 24/12/2017 13:35

Nudity isn't the norm in my family, but I know it is in some. OP, can you ask him if he would think it unusual if you were standing naked in front of your father? I'm just really curious about the answer. I would guess he probably wouldn't, but can't help wondering.

MadeForThis · 24/12/2017 13:36

Weird.

Not sure I would go with creepy. But I wouldn't be comfortable.

Uffishthought · 24/12/2017 13:37

Me, it's just human bodies.

I read it first that she was brushing his hair - now that would be weird Xmas Grin

Sportgh · 24/12/2017 13:38

Of course it was non sexual but it's also just weird!

I'm sure she wasn't staring at his penis, same way you don't stare at someones penis when talking to them clothed. She wiped his bum, cleaned his vomit and pushed him out of her vagina. She's seen it all many times before. It's not weird unless you feel the need to make it weird then that's your hang ups and inbuilt shame of being naked.

Different strokes and all that.

Branleuse · 24/12/2017 13:38

when my children are nude, its not because "i want to see their knob" and I imagine that in this instance, the fact that anyone is naked is irrelevent. If i got changed in front of my mum it would be because we didnt care, not because either of us want to see the others fanny.

Snowman41 · 24/12/2017 13:39

Fucking weird that a mother would want to see her adult son's knob

The OP said they were talking. She never mentioned the mother ogling the sons knob Hmm

I mean it's not the norm but lots of families actually don't have nudity hang ups.

ButchyRestingFace · 24/12/2017 13:39

OP has disappeared.

I wonder whether she’s being inducted? 🤯

ButchyRestingFace · 24/12/2017 13:39

X post! Grin

Leyani · 24/12/2017 13:39

Nothing to do with superior, just different traditions. In other countries everyone goes to the sauna naked or sun bathes topless, and no one thinks anything of it. No one ogles, there's nothing sexual about it at all, no one makes you embarrassed in any way. In the sauna you just sit down, enjoy the heat, then dunk into cold water and get dressed again. It really isn't weird at all, and folk of all ages do it. At least no one gets a shock when they see a wrinkly old person for the first time :)

I suppose it's just as weird and yucky for some cultures that women in Britain don't cover up decently, maybe it's the same.

unicornpoopoop · 24/12/2017 13:43

My mother in law always calls my husband upstairs when she's in the bath or getting dressed - I find it very bizarre... can you not get dressed and just come down..

MrsKoala · 24/12/2017 13:43

Actually i do/have had a chat with my dad with boobs and fanny out Moana. We are a nudey family and no one cares. I often shower when over there and get ready in the same bedroom as my Dad. We just chatter away and get on with getting dressed.

ferntwist · 24/12/2017 13:44

Ah so what? All families are different. YABU and uptight.

ijustwannadance · 24/12/2017 13:45

If a man is standing there naked his knob is visable. Therefore, she wouldn't need to be ogling it to see it.

Even worse if she was sitting on the bed whilst he was doing his hair. Right in her sight lineGrin

Aeroflotgirl · 24/12/2017 13:46

Very inappropriate, and weird. Is your dh a naturist!

pointythings · 24/12/2017 13:46

If he'd just come out of the shower and they came across each other - not weird at all. They just don't have hangups about nudity. My family don't either.

As long as they are both OK with it, it shouldn't be an issue at all.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 24/12/2017 13:46

Ah. New poster.
