Nudity

[ChocolateJam]

DH has always chosen not to be naked in front of DD (13). She is still quite happy to be naked in front of us both even though she now has pubic and underarm hair and is developing breasts. This makes him uncomfortable. At what age do they become modest about being naked in front of parents?

dd1 is 16 and is only just starting to cover up. dd2 is 15 and she covered up from about 10.

dd1 asked dh to rinse her hair in the shower a while back ( i was out) and made her put on a swimming costume first. he is uncomfortable around her, she is well developed

IME as they begin to go through puberty.

In our house, we have always had a pretty relaxed attitude to nudity as I didn't want DS and DD to grow up feeling embarrassed. However I would say that once they were about 11/12 they began to impose their own awkwardness around it which did not come from us.

In your situation, I wouldn't be too worried about things - I don't think there is anything wrong with her being naked. WRT your DH, unless she is stripping off and walking around the house willy nilly, I would have thought it wouldn't be too difficult for him to avoid embarrassing situations.

I still feel uncomfortable in a swimming cossie around my dad. I breastfed in front of my mum, that was the first time she'd seen my boobs for 20 years. My sis on the other hand would still not give a toss stipping off in front of her.

icould i don't know any 16 year old that would be naked in front of their dad. Not surprised he was embarrassed. Can your DD not rinse her own hair?

I think when either party feels uncomfortable that is the time to cover up.

she can sometimes rinse her own hair. depends on her mood. she has sn. obviously that's not the only problem we have

Is your husband her dad?

So funny that she gets others to rinse her hair according to her mood wish I could get away with that!

dd is also 13 and still happy to wander around naked in front of me and dp (her dad).

But she no longer wants to see us naked. She even goes straight back out again if she's wandered into my room and has caught me topless while I'm getting dressed in the morning - and this from a girl who was breastfed until she was 2 and was obsessed with my boobs for years after that.

yes my husband is her dad. I was trying to be vague so as not to hijack the op's thread. it's not that kind of mood she has ASD.

I never grew out of it. I'm basically a nudist, and if it wasn't for other people, I'd be naked all the time.

I suppose I started covering up when I became sexually active at 15 - by then I knew that I wasn't bothered, but appreciated how intimate parts would make someone who didn't want to see them feel.
