FIL walking round with his top off

We are staying at FIL's this weekend and he has got up and made a coffee, had his breakfast, had a sit down and read the paper and played with DS all wearing absolutely nothing on his top half.

It's his house and he can do what he likes but is it just me that thinks that's a weird thing to do when you have company?! The sight of his nipples within touching distance of me while he chowed down on his weetabix will stay with me for a long time 😂

It’s his house.

LauraNorda · 03/09/2023 09:42

It's just you. His house, his rules.

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 03/09/2023 09:44

Ha! Nipples in touching distance 😂

Yanbu to feel this was rather not the case, but then neither is he in his house.

Well, maybe a little... he could put a top on couldn't he.

LifeIsShambolic · 03/09/2023 09:44

If he had no bottoms on that would be weird😆
He probably does it without thinking, because it's his house!

Depends how fit your FIL is tbh lol

NeverDropYourMooncup · 03/09/2023 09:45

What's for dinner - a lovely bit of Squirrel?

Olika · 03/09/2023 09:46

His house. My dad does the same when it's warm, doesn't bother anybody.

Ellmau · 03/09/2023 09:48

Does he think he's Vladimir Putin?

BranchGold · 03/09/2023 09:48

Meh, I’d struggle to get upset about this, and I don’t much like men having their tops off in public but that’s pretty common place.

For fucks sake 😂

I get feeling a little bit weird but it’s his house, so up to him really. They’re only nipples 🤷🏼‍♀️

@saltrocking 😂😂😂

Not at all is the answer 😂

Presumably there's no MIL around? Otherwise she'd tell him to put a top on.

Call me old fashioned but it's slovenly!

Friday Night Dinner

I wouldn’t be bothered except if he had a lot of body hair and he was making breakfast for everyone 😐

AdoraBell · 03/09/2023 09:51

His house etc, but I really dislike it when men do this. BIL does, apparently it’s okay because he works out.

Elfandwellbeing · 03/09/2023 09:51

I hope this is light hearted.

HawdMeBack · 03/09/2023 09:51

YANBU for not liking it.

He is NBU for doing it.

Wanttobefree2 · 03/09/2023 09:53

I understand what you mean. I would feel a bit uncomfortable about this, I’m not sure why though. I guess I just want to see my FIL half-naked.

Yourebeingtooloud · 03/09/2023 09:53

My FIL does this…can’t say it’s ever particularly bothered me.

Velvian · 03/09/2023 09:56

I would hate that so much 😭YANBU.

I wish men would wear something on their top halves in swimming pools. I never want to see the nipples of a colleague or relative. Unless they're BFing.

I can ignore stranger's nipples.😂

It is his home, but it would put me off ever staying there.

NeedTheSeaside · 03/09/2023 09:57

I really can't see the problem, but then I have no problem with men not wearing top in public either. It's a torso, we all have them. Women's are sexualised, mens are not (or are to a much lesser degree).

do you object to him wearing shirts as well?
