I see nothing wrong with what you've described. Usually I strip in front of the washing machine when I've finished cleaning the entire house. By that point my clothes are sweaty and I'm on my way up to the shower. So, I strip and walk up stairs. My kids are 6 & 3. They see me naked all the time. They see their dad naked all the time. I commented on here about this rececently. Americans have sexualized the body to the point that it has become an object of shame. We must cover it up and hide it because *gasp* we might traumatize our children!!! Other cultures are not like this at all. We live in Japan where community bath houses are the norm. We go on a regular basis and no one thinks anything of it. My kids don't stare or even look twice at seeing people naked. To them it is normal. It only becomes an issue when the parents make it one. If you constantly cover up or act like nudity is taboo then your kids start to see it that way and it becomes an unnatural thing but something they're still curious about. The way to screw a kid up is to instill the idea that the human body is a taboo thing that needs to be covered up. I think it is healthy for children to be comfortable with the human body and realize it is natural and nudity is not a big deal.

We are bound to see family members naked from time to time passing each other to the shower etc. Not sure if u taking off your tank top and flapping your boobs in front of him is ok though. My adult step daughter has seen me only because she walked in the bathroom without knocking. My step son 14 has seen his mom in a bra but never in anything less than that. He would freak if he saw his mom or sister naked and is shy himself rarely even being outside his room with his shirt off.

I have a 5 year old and he sees me naked all the time, He has asked questions and I do answer them. I think it's ok till he's like 9 0r 10. It also depends my cousin raised her boys alone so then were close and they always saw her naked. I think hes fine maby it will teach him to respect women and he will know all about womens bodys(ya know some guys are so obvlious)

well, my daughter is only six months old, and her daddy is away training in the army right now, so if i EVER want to shower or change, she's gonna have to see me naked! I think after they get to a certain age(maybe 8-9 yrs?) they might get uncomfortable seeing their mom naked. but my mom used to walk around the house with her bra and jeans on if she was getting ready for work or doing laundry, etc. it was never a big deal, and i do it sometimes too. kids should know that it's good to be comfortable in your own skin. but i don't think walking around the house naked all the time is a good idea, lol, i know that's not what you mean. but if they happen to see you changing, in your underwear, or getting out of the shower it shouldn't be a big deal!

Children are going to have questions about their bodies soon enough. I think that if you are talking about children that are really too young to remember (1 to 3) that it is ok. But, when they get to about 3 1/2 or 4, I think it is time to start learning about personal space and privacy. Definitely talk to your kids about this topic. But, wait until they ask or it is apparent that you need to talk about it. Children are pretty good about learning at the right pace. They usually will ask things when it is age appropriate unless they have had an unusual amount of expose to nudity and sexuality.

If our kids don't learn from us, who is going to teach them? Obviously I do NOT advocate any kind of sexual stuff around kids. But simple nudity isn't the end of the world. Families are by nature much closer than the rest of society.

i have a little girl who is 6 and we would take showers togher to save time and she knows all about bodys i walk around her naked or top less but my husband makes sure he has a towel on when he comes out of the shower he feels that she is to young to see him which i agree a womans body is a little diffrent then a guys body but as far as having a son i would feel the same way about it let them know what they are going to learn on thier own soon enough also make your husband take him in the shower with him so he can learn how to wash every where and have your husband answer questions why does your wee wee get smaller in water and bigger when it gets air on it etc dont' keep things from him or he will never open up to you when he gets older and come to you all about sex questions when he has them good luck

I do think that there's an age where it isn't appropriate for your hild to see you naked...at 5 is about there. Wehn they are younger...and you are getting dressed its fine...after that I wouldn't parade in front of him naked...tehre was no reason why you couldn't have kept your shirt on...stain or not. Its time to show a little class.

Yes but he is getting a little older now and I will probably stop. Its a good thing you aren't ashamed of your body but your son dosn't necesarly need to see it. You might give him wrong ideas and you will become a grandma sooner then you wish to. Good Luck and Cover up!!!

Yes I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!! I dont find anything wrong with being naked in front of my 3 boys! Although I am pregnant and my body is very akward right now - I still breastfeed infront of them! I even breastfeed at their school. Their's no problem with it. I'm even going to have my 12 year old son with me when I give birth!
