CUDDLING IN BED

I sleep naked and always have done since I was a young girl, consequently my daughters also like to sleep naked (despite having about a hundred nighties etc!) In the morning, like most children, they like to come in to my bed for a cuddle. At what age should I worry about the fact that we are all naked? If ever? My girls are 6 & 4.

I also wander around the bedrooom/bathroom naked as did my parents, none of us ever had a problem with nudity and that aspect won't ever change. It's just the cuddling in bed I was wondering about...

Cheers ladies!!

I wouldn't worry about it, they might well stop wanting to when they're a bit older, let them lead it.

It is a bit of a cultural thing and I don't believe there is anything wrong with it as long as everyone is happy.

In Finland, for instance, families take saunas together naked. Nudity doesn't have the same taboo as it does in some other countries.

I don't think there's any issues with it, the majority of parents happily parade around the children naked, i know ALOT of people who even share baths with children up to 8years old. As they get older they will decide if they aren't comfortable/if they are. No one can judge it because i can guarantee that pretty much everyone has done it.

Oh, that makes me so happy! I cannot think of a better way to wake up than a cuddle from your beloved children.
