Just that really!

on holiday at the mo and I cant even count the number of times I have seen topless women sunbathing at the beach… next to kids!…on non-nudist beach!

I really don’t want to see titties out in the middle of the day

on top of that I don’t fancy my teenage boys or even my DH having a look at them either

its obvious they’re coming from certain European countries ! Do they have no sense of what’s right or wrong ?

AIBU?

That was me 20 years ago, no tan lines

They're just the same as milk cartons to kids.

Portfun24 · 30/07/2024 12:57

I'm abroad now and seen quite alot it genuinely doesn't bother me at all. I always think fair play to them for having the confidence, I always hate the half white boobs from my bikini, makes them look even tinier than they already are. It's a part of going abroad.

Beth216 · 30/07/2024 12:57

Stop supporting the patriarchy in your over sexualisation of breasts. Being topless is completely different to be nude and choosing to be on a nudist beach. You're not complaining about the men being topless are you? I hope your DH isn't totally horrified at you seeing all those topless men, not sure how you control yourself. I bet you're one of those people who think breastfeeding in cafes is 'disgusting' too.
Maybe try Skegness next year, or just stay home.

PS I've never seen a topless man in an office - or a bikini wearing woman.

pleasehelpwi3 · 30/07/2024 12:58

I've never seen tits written with an asterix before.
It's not such an offensive word, surely?

It’s not about DH or DS as much

I don’t want to see someone’s private parts!

they might not be genitals but they’re are private!

whoever is saying this is normal and I am making it more sexualised than it should be, then apologies you’re nuts!

Go take your boobs out next time your kid has a play date … let’s see how this will go down!

Do you wear a bikini when your kids have a play date or on your way to the office on Monday morning? And yet, it is appropriate on the beach. Same principle applies here.

I get my boobs out at playdates all the time. I'm breastfeeding 🤷

Is this your first time abroad? Bet you're in France/Spain/Italy. How dare they be EUROPEAN!!!

fyi Britain is also in Europe.

Don't go to the beach if you don't want to see them? It's been normal since... forever to see a minority of women going topless at the beach. It is completely non sexualised in the context of a family beach.

wippandzipp · 30/07/2024 12:59

It's probably the shock. You'll have got used to all the bare skin by tomorrow. And your DH and teenage sons can wear sunglasses, so they don't make the topless sunbathers, feel gawped at. Or go to the pool, usually less boobs on show.

Well that isn’t the same is it? You wouldn’t go to Asda in your bikini or your place of work with your kaftan and summer hat on, it’s contextual. On the beach you are tanning and many women do not want tan lines or find bikini tops deeply uncomfortable in the heat - they are! Just turn away, it’s easy to do!

poppym12 · 30/07/2024 12:59

Stop sexualising breasts. If you don't want to see people relaxing on beaches, don't go on holiday to somewhere warm.

You sound like you're gawping. Totally unnecessary. I take it you don't even have your ankles on show?

Mine have Organic written on them to avoid confusion with that nasty UHT stuff.

AgentProvocateur · 30/07/2024 13:00

You should maybe consider Saudi for your family holiday next year…

AuntieMarys · 30/07/2024 13:00

I'm judging you now for saying play date

Maybe Wales or Devon would be more to your liking next summer?

Gillypie23 · 30/07/2024 13:00

It's not wrong though is it. Just because you don't like it. Don't go to the beach or don't look!
Tell your husband and kids not be be perverts and don't look at the tits.

Stop sexualising women’s bodies. If your dh or son can’t handle themselves properly in public then keep them at home.

sweetpickle2 · 30/07/2024 13:01

I hope you're on the wind up OP, otherwise- your poor kids.

Definitely less offensive than “titties”.

There seems to have been a bit of an influx of puritans on to MN recently, though. Seen a few people writing “f**k” than “fuck”, for instance.

PurpleFlower1983 · 30/07/2024 13:02

I couldn’t get worked up over this. Nudism doesn’t bother me either though, fair play to anyone who has the confidence.

It would hopefully go down fantastic, as I'll presumably be breastfeeding or pumping for my next baby.

And if someone in the office complains about this, they'd rightfully be in HR hot water.

Breastfeeding rates would be so much higher, with huge benefits to babies, we're it not for silly people like you!

Oh interesting

so you’d like a 50yo male getting his bits out near a 5yo?
Would you be educating the toddler ?

50 yo men have their tops of loads on the beach!!
