DD(8) & I took advantage of the good weather on Sat p.m. to sit out in the garden (while DH & DS were at football). Soon DD had stripped off and was in the paddling pool whilst I was sitting topless on the sun lounger. All was well until my mother turned up unexpectedly and proceeded to lecture me on our "exhibition" and what the neighbours would think! I have previously spoken to our elderly next door neighbours when we first moved in as I did not wish to cause offence with my sunbathing and they were fine about it. We do not have much contact with our other neighbours but no-one seems to be bothered. Is it me or is my dear mother just being old-fashioned and/or over-protective about DD being undresses in our garden?
