Our DD is 20m and very attached to her daddy at the moment, she has to go everywhere with him, even the loo - its either that or full blown tantrum. Never really gave it any thought until last night when we went for a walk and she started imitating daddy having a wee, was pullig the front of her trousers and making wee noises,so cute - we were hysterical. But seriously, that does show she has been noticing things so will probably stop her from going into loo with dad. I guess if she were a boy there would have been a lot of proud "thats my boy" being muttered but cos she is a girl.........

I don't think its an issue. Not for years yet. Cute really. Don't know whether my opinion is the norm, but that is my opinion.

Of course you don't have to stop her going to the loo with her dad. She's 20 months old, why does it matter whether she notices that he's different from her? It's really no big deal.

She imitates what she sees - she has no idea of what his willy is or what it's for, other than weeing with. Why would you feel that it was inappropriate?

my dd1 is nearly 5, dd2 is nearly 3 and they still have a bath with daddy occasionally

Interested in this thread?

My dd's almost 6, naily, and still loves a bath with her dad. She sees both of us naked and isn't bothered in the slightest.

When she gets older she'll let us know that she doesn't want to see it any more and then we'll stop. But for now - can't see what the issue is, really.

lulumama · 25/04/2007 16:56

don;t really see what the problem is right now

making an issue of her not seeing it, is possibly going to be more problematic in the long run IMO

nailpolish · 25/04/2007 16:57

wwb

My db and I used to have a bath with our dad until we were about 8. Never thought anything of it.

It never occurred to me to cover up in front of my dses (2.6 and 1.6). And they are almost always with me when I go to the loo.

Marina · 25/04/2007 17:03

Dd and ds still see us naked the poor creatures (they are seven and nearly four and if they don't like it they should damn well stop coming into our bed at night and into the bathroom in the morning ).
Don't worry about it lucyellensmum, as others have said, she'll let you know when it is TMI

Oblomov · 25/04/2007 17:07

We are like WWB and Nailpolish. Not an issue until teenage embarrassment ?

singingmum · 25/04/2007 17:07

Dc's let you know when they feel uncomfortable .My son decided we needed to wear clothes a few years ago(he's 12 now)but dd doesn't really care.She is 7 next month and thinks nudity is fine.
My Ds has turned into a prude a bit lately although caught him ogling a half naked woman although he doesn't know I saw him(she was on TV

lucyellensmum · 25/04/2007 17:12

yes, i don't think its an issue really, well not at all but you know how people can be, i can just imagine toddler group!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's a shame that parents feel that nudity is wrong these days. My parents always wandered about naked until we were I guess about eight and then they bought dressing gowns for the whole family after the 'scaring the postman' episide in which my mum leant out the window to talk to the postman, totally unaware her pendulous bosom was swinging out of the window casement

I wouldn't worry if I were you. She's a tot, she'll probably ask when she's going to grow one at some point though

PetronellaPinkPants · 25/04/2007 17:15

am slightly concerned now that Fio's mum has a weener

Oblomov · 25/04/2007 17:21

LOL whomovedmychocolate, but surely the postman loved it ?
Definitely no reason to buy you all pyjamas

when they become embarassed about daddy's nudity they will avoid seeing it or looking,different age in each child ime

NotQuiteCockney · 25/04/2007 17:25

Oooh, were GLC singing that song to you?

nailpolish · 25/04/2007 17:33

i had a scared postman too
dh had gone to work and i had asked him to leave the front door open as it was a boiling hot day
i wandered across the hall to the loo and he was standing on the doorstep, post in hand

lucyellensmum · 25/04/2007 17:33

def not embarrased about nudity, i still waslk around naked all the time, dp can't cos DD1 is 16 and she DEFINATELY doesnt want to see it!!!! I was just interested in other peoples thoughts, personally i think its very funny.

My dad chased burglars in the nude at a boatyard in France.
They dropped the safe they were carrying and ran away.

homemama · 25/04/2007 17:40

I think if you stop her going to the toilet with her daddy and suddenly stop her seeing him naked then you will have a problem.

Children aren't born feeling awkward about nudity, we make them believe they should feel that way.

motheroftwoboys · 25/04/2007 17:47

My DH, myself and our DS116 all go around naked and don't bother about locking the bathroom door. Our DS214 is much more self conscious. Don't think I have seen him naked for years! Always remember one holiday years ago in Greece when we ended up on a nudist beach. Boys were embarrassed at first then stripped off with gay abandon!

softmusk · 25/04/2007 20:25

my little girl does exactly the same thing and copies her dad weeing i have no problem with her going to the loo with her dad and she 30 months

NotQuiteCockney · 25/04/2007 20:30

I am very pleased to see a MN consensus on this one (at least so far). In previous conversations about parental nudity, there have certainly been some posters who felt it was unacceptable ...
