How old were you before your parents stopped letting you see them naked?!

We were a pretty conservative family, thinking back. I remember seeing dad's bits when he stepped out of the shower and my mum using a tampon [eeekkk] but must have been about 4 or 5 and still traumatised! Apart from that can't remember anything else.

I can't ever imagine covering up in front of my girls...

I think my dad started covering up when I was about 7 or 8. My mum... early teens? But I don't suppose she'd flinch if I walked in on her now.

DP and I are quite happy to wander around in the buff. DD is only 16 months. She solemnly points to our bits and informs us "wee wee".

I'm 37 and saw my mum naked today!
But she was showing me her operation scar

LucyJones · 25/09/2007 18:25

I was one of four children so we had to be economical with the batroom. Therefore at secondary school until about age 16 I guess I had to go to the loo and wash and brush my teeth in the monring all whilst mum was in the bath

Charlee · 25/09/2007 18:25

My mother doesn't care if i see her and im in my 20's!
Never saw dad, he was my step dad.

DS's always see me naked as they tail me everywhere, and ocassionally DP to.

harrisey · 25/09/2007 18:23

DH has been known to discipline children while sitting on the loo

heifer · 25/09/2007 16:51

never saw my mum naked when I was a child.

Saw my dad by accident a couple of times, when he would walk from the bathroom to the bedroom coupling his bits

Once didn't realise I was there and scratched his ear so I got an eyefull!...

MuffinMclay · 25/09/2007 16:38

I don't think I ever saw my parents naked. A combination of growing up with nutty religious/puritanical parents and a house with no heating.

MorocconOil · 25/09/2007 15:12

I've just started buying my DSs socks they can share. It saves time in the morning. Instead of desperately searching for socks of different sizes, you can grab any old 2 pairs. They are usually odd though. It must save 5 mins, which is a lot of time on a schoolday morning.

I'm thinking about doing the same for underpants

Egypt · 25/09/2007 15:12

or my dh sitting on the floor naked....

or my dd wanting to go into dd2's room....

or if i hadn't even had dd2...

must stop thinking warped thoughts like this, and drinking gin

must go to bed (it's 10pm here)

Egypt · 25/09/2007 15:04

Threadworm · 25/09/2007 15:02

Well, perhaps the plan has a few holes in it. But not as many as the holes in my kids' socks.

Egypt · 25/09/2007 15:02

have tried threadworm......think it was in chat so disappeared into the ether........

OP posts:

Egypt · 25/09/2007 15:01

phew threadworm......

but even if they were one year apart, at some point one would be in the bigger size range than the youngest......anyway ENOUGH!!

Will hunt the thread ridiculing my Sensible Labour Saving Device.

Meeely2 · 25/09/2007 14:59

i remember seeing my dad in the bath once, and even now 20 odd years on i can see the imagine a wee bit too vividly! All I can say is my son will have nothing to worry about if he takes after my side of the family!

Threadworm · 25/09/2007 14:59

Not serious. Twas joke. It would be theoretically possible to ensure that your two kids were in same sock-size range. And then, if you bought all same colour you would never have to pair your kids socks.

herbiemom · 25/09/2007 14:56

This has just reminded me of an incident on a family holiday when I was younger. I had brought my best friend with me and late one night we locked ourselves out of our hotel room. We had to knock on my parents door to tell them and my dad answered the door with nothing on. My friend was horrified and quite possibly traumatised for life as she still brings it up now.

Egypt · 25/09/2007 14:56

yes! actually, i MAY have started a thread on it - saying basically WTF?!

sorry - were you serious? We had a laugh. How can children possibly EVER be in the same sock range? I don't get it.....

OP posts:

Egypt · 25/09/2007 14:55

wonder if it's a reflection on how close you are to your family?

Egypt -- I did send the sock thing in as a TIP when I was under another name (SixKindsofCrisis or MuddlingThrough) but I didn't think Mumsnet had used it, and I decided they only wanted 'proper' tips. Did they use it?

Egypt · 25/09/2007 14:52

bozza, i am chortling here

Spidermama · 25/09/2007 14:52

I remember being mortified wih my dad for going to the loo naked when my friend was staying the night and I was around 12. I wouldn't have noticed had it not been for my friend. I don't think she saw but still.
