she is constantly taking her bloody clothes off, it is doing my head in,

its not a rare thing either its every day when at home, within half and hour of being dressed they will be strewn across the floor.

How old is she? My DS (22m) takes his trousers off all the time, and we let him get on with it as long as it's only in the house.

I say as long as it's not a public place, let her get on with it. At the moment, there's still a chance she'll get chilly and change her mind.

TrinityIsFuckingTrying · 06/03/2010 15:52

I dont fight the naked thing if they are at home

NotQuiteCockney · 06/03/2010 15:53

Unless she's 16 or something, I wouldn't worry about it, let her be naked.

BitOfFun · 06/03/2010 15:53

My mum despairs of me too, but to be fair, I keep them on now in her house.

sparkle09 · 06/03/2010 15:54

lol, she 2y 10m, her solution to being cold is to say 'i feel cold, you feel cold? i need blanket' followed by getting her blanket and snuggling on the sofa.

My DD is exactly the same, although tends to be reluctant to get dressed even when we are going out. Not worth the effort to worry about clothes at home.

TidyBush · 06/03/2010 16:36

DD1 was exactly the same when she was little but at 15 yo she has thankfully long grown out of it

As long as you're in the house don't bother arguing, just be glad she's happy and comfortable.

ShinyAndNew · 06/03/2010 16:41

Dd2 is almost three and loves being naked. As does my nephew, the first thing he does when he comes to my house is take off his trousers

snigger · 06/03/2010 16:47

Roll with it.

If it's DH, less so, but DD? She'll learn

TrinityIsFuckingTrying · 06/03/2010 18:15

snigger, dd2 is 5 in april and she is currently eating her tea naked

and she has just said 'I'm cold'

grrrr

she wants a bankie or her feety jammies

thats the order it goes in

naked is best
when cold she wants just a bankie

or feety jammies

or next best thing is a witch costume (very warm..)

then clothes but prefers dresses/skirts with tights

TrinityIsFuckingTrying · 06/03/2010 18:16

she has found her feety jammies

FabIsDoingPrettyWell · 06/03/2010 18:17

I never minded if mine did want to take their clothes off but they had to have pants on.

coppertop · 06/03/2010 18:17

My 7yr-old ds rarely wears more than just his pants when he's at home.

TrinityIsFuckingTrying · 06/03/2010 18:19

fab, I dont care if totally naked if its just us but they have to put at least knickers on if other people are in the house

FabIsDoingPrettyWell · 06/03/2010 18:25

That was why mine had to put pants on, in case anyone came round.

borderslass · 06/03/2010 18:27

my ds is still the same hates clothes only wears his boxers in the house but he's 15.

doubleinstructions · 06/03/2010 18:32

My DD is 6 and is rarely dressed inside the house. Has always stripped off at the first opportunity.
Regardless of weather!!
I wouldnt worry

snigger · 06/03/2010 18:39

Trinity, that's a little frightening, as dd had exactly the same order of coverage, but for witch substitute bridesmaid dress & veil.

The feety jammies were always the outfit of last resort, when toes went blue.

It's when they strip off in toddlers, or the ccrisp aisle at Tesco - WTF are you supposed tto do? Erica Roe had nothing on DD2 when it ccame to public clothes evasion.

TrinityIsFuckingTrying · 06/03/2010 18:47

lol well I'm ok in that respect
tjhey have never shed clothes whilst out but its like a automatic button as soon as they get in

doubleinstructions · 06/03/2010 18:47

Ahhh...Erica Roe

sparkle09 · 06/03/2010 19:33

snigger well DP does have a tendency to strip to his boxers at any given moment at home - obviously where DD gets it from.

she was the first topless streaker at twickenham.

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 06/03/2010 19:38

YANBU

All chidlren have a naked phase when they're too IME! I insist on knickers at the table, and at least something on when we're out (even if it's a fairy dress as it was with DD3 once on a shopping trip!), but apart from that, what's the problem?

doubleinstructions · 06/03/2010 20:27

LOL on insisting on knickers at the table MrsWobble....Im hearing you say it in very clipped tones
