Around what age are your sons when you stop being naked around them?

[bintofbohemia]

just wondering - mine are 3 and 1 so am not too worried about it yet, but does it become innapropriate at a certain point? (Obviously if they were 17 it would be a bit but you get my point - when did you stop being comfortable with it?)

I think typically they get uncomfortable about nudity, maybe around 7 or 8 ish. So they start being uncomfortable about being naked themselves, or of other people being naked round them. I don't think you need to worry about it till they start telling you to cover up!

My mum still walks around naked. My younger brother is 20 and still lives at home. It doesn't seem to bother him and he'll happily take her cups of tea in while she's in the bath.

I think the inappropriateness depends on the family, as we are a naked type of family its ok.

DS, 8, still considers it normal that I move aorund the house without clothes while getting dressed etc.
And my Mum never bothered to cover up in front of my brother, or any other family member.

I think the important thing is to respect THEIR privacy if they show signs of modesty at any age, especially approaching puberty and beyond.

And not go nude in the house when their friends are round.

Thank you! I was just wondering because the other day I was in the bath and DS1 came in for a wee (nice eh!) and seemed a bit intrigued by my "boobies" (where's he got that word from? Not me!) and also said he wanted a tattoo - although he seems to have forgotten about both now.

My mother was always (and still is!) quite a naked person, but my dad and stepmum not at all...

Ds became 'aware' of his own body when he was around 11 - quite late I understand. I don't hide from him or dd, but they seem to choose to keep away when I'm getting dressed/going in the bath etc.

well my ds is 4 in march and we have baths with him etc still, it doesnt bother me at all but i came from a family where it was the norm...i will still go and sit in the bathroom and have a chat with my mum when she is in the bath and im nearly 23!!

My mum has always encouraged us not to be ashamed of our bodies, my bro and sis wont go in the bathroom with her but they are fine with her undressing etc, sis is 16 and bro 13.

ds has recently been saying 'thats your sexy' which i think he is referring to our lady/man bits...not sure weather this is a good thing or not tbh cos bit worried about pre-school but then again from the way i have been brought up im probably gonna ignore it!

mine are between 8 and 9 and fine, in fact they both (dd and ds) jump in the bath with me if they manage to catch me in it

we are a very naked family though. I hadn't realised this till we took one of dd's friends away with us on holiday and dd had to have a 'word' with us about how naked we were (we suitably covered up after that but it just wasn't something that crossed my mind beforehand!). Both kids often end up naked mid afternoon if we are at home. I have no idea why this is!

i'm a bit of a flasher. so i just shout " nekkid lady comin' through" as i make my nekkid dash to the bathroom.

the kids are more embarrassed than me. obviously i don't flaunt my bits about like i used to and try for a bit of decorum, but lets just say they aren't suprised to see my arse jiggling along the landing.

they do make it perfectly clear when their friends are here so i don't do nekkid dashes

lol at " nekkid lady comin' through"

I think thats the approach I'll take

(currently DD is 10 and DS is 5 and nakedness is not an issue)
