I wasn't as did say anything but would I have been if...

[MascaraOHara]

I told the woman who let her 2 small-ish (but old enough to be told) hildren to stop staring at me whilst I was naked in a communal shower at the gym?

I didn't cover myself up as didn't think about it at the time but I did feel like perhaps I should have afterwards and felt a bit guilty.

I heard one of them say "mummy there is someone in the shower" and then they both came abck for a curious look.. now if it were me and dd I would have called her back and said to dd something like "please don't stare, concentrate on what you're doing" instead ofleaving her there to have a good old stare at naked woman..

They were there for a fair while.

Would I have been unreasonable to call out to the mother that I was naked and perhaps she might want to stop her children staring at me?

What is the etiquette with stare-y children and nakedness in these situations?

MN is great..

A few weeks ago there was a thread about how terrible it was for children to correct other peoples speech but it's absolutely fine to let our little sweethearts stare at naked people for prolonged periods

see this is why I love MN.

oh god, please let them not have named the child after its place of conception!

Obviously I'm not clinically insane. It was of course meant to be words to that effect, not literal.

Now see this is why this should come back into fashion.

I love the idea of hailing a clear and loud 'naked warning' to protect children and the delicate. Perhaps a loud siren or horn could announce a minutes notice that nakedness is imminent so people can file out and congregate in the car park.

Wow TsarChasm - you killed the thread spectacularly!

scary breeks nae wonder we are all shaking
