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?

I think this isn’t a big deal if you’re from a liberal family, I bet she didn’t focus on his cock. Think this would disgust uptight people though

expatinscotland · 24/12/2017 14:10

I don't find it weird, no.

froshiechipandbrickie · 24/12/2017 14:12

I asked him if I did that in front of my dad what would he think and he said it would be weird. I think that this might be because many people have a different opinion about female nudity and the role of fathers in a child’s life in general.

My father was the main carer during the first few years of my life (my mother worked full time) but that was extremely unusual for my generation... I’m fairly certain that a surprising amount of fathers didn’t change or bathe their children.

If they’re not British I understand.

Prudishness about nudity is a brutish thing.

EllaHen · 24/12/2017 14:19

My dh would be comfortable in this situation.

My parents cut about the house naked when we were growing up. Not all the time. Nipping to the toilet in the middle of the night kind of thing.

Nice not to have hang ups about the naked body.

LizzieSiddal · 24/12/2017 14:21

Are they Scandinavian?

WindyWednesday · 24/12/2017 14:23

Am I the only one thinking, it’s December. It’s too chilly to hang around naked anywhere. Or do you all have super hot houses.

"I asked him if I did that in front of my dad what would he think and he said it would be weird."

Oh, that's interesting. How come he doesn't think it's weird when he does it in front of his mother then?

Hoppinggreen · 24/12/2017 14:28

DH family are like this but they are German to be fair.
It changed once his step dad moved in but apparently it wasn’t unusual for him to be in the shower with him Mum on the loo and his sister brushing her teeth in the sink.
He thought I was weird when we moved in together and I didn’t want him sitting on the loo talking to me while I was having a bath. Im kind of used to it now and teen DD is the only one who shuts the bathroom door

We are all English.

Having thought about it. No. I think I’d probably be comfortable infront of my father as well. Seeing as we have used the same changing room and that wasn’t weird either. But I obviously wouldn’t undress infront of him just for the sake of getting naked either.

But the fact that he’d consider it weird if you did that infront of his father is what makes him doing it infront of his mother weird imo.

But I’m not British. My mother is Italian and my father Swedish/German/Swiss...

It changed once his step dad moved in but apparently it wasn’t unusual for him to be in the shower with him Mum on the loo and his sister brushing her teeth in the sink. but that’s surely normal, isn’t it?

My brothers would definitely use the bathroom whilst I was showering (for peeing and teeth brushing, but not for pooping, obviously!)

No, in front of her father, not his.

onelostsoulswimminginafishbowl · 24/12/2017 14:32

My DP does this and its not something I feel comfortable doing but I'm open minded enough to understand that everyone is different!

It's no big deal.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 24/12/2017 14:33

Thing is, journos can only pick up what someone's put on here. Admittedly that can be bad enough, but there's no obligation to help if they lift a story and chase you for further details

God help me, but I was the "cancel the cheque" poster, and at one time my message box was rammed with requests for more from these parasites ... all of whom had no doubt registered on MN so they could PM posters

I ignored them all

Puzzledandpissedoff · 24/12/2017 14:34

Oh god, so sorry ... wrong thread Blush

Candyfloss1122 · 24/12/2017 14:35

So fucking weird 😬

froshiechipandbrickie · 24/12/2017 14:36

No, in front of her father, not his.
That’s what I mean. Oops.

But yes, that’s what makes it weird imo. It’s ok if he does it infront of his mother but not if she does it infront of her father?

ButchyRestingFace · 24/12/2017 14:38

Oh god, so sorry ... wrong thread blush

Far from it. Rather prescient, I’d say. Wink

Hoppinggreen · 24/12/2017 14:39

froschie not in our house growing up.
DH once walked in on my Mum on the loo once, he was naked.
He said good morning and that he would come back later and left. I had to tell him to go back and close the door

Puzzledandpissedoff · 24/12/2017 14:39

JanetStWalker · 24/12/2017 14:40

Ewww, nothing worse than naked families

Ah, you again

In a word, no. Breast feeding is functional. Penis swinging is not

OP doesn't mention penis swinging. That's your over excited imagination adding bits.

Bluntness100 · 24/12/2017 14:46

I think the normal thing would be for one of them to say "excuse me" and either him to shove some shorts on or her to turn around and come back when he had. It's abnormal to have a full conversation like that and he continues brushing his hair with his bollocks out.

I'm assuming you're not a naturist family?
