I'm a single mom of a 12 yr old daughter and we both have seen each other naked. In fact we have a one bedroom apartment so we often have to change in the same room or for example ill be in the shower and she'll be brushing her teeth. Honestly I don't see anything wrong with it. My mom and I have even see each other naked.
Shes in her late 50's and Im in my 30s and its really no big deal. We often go to the pool together and when we change in the locker room we see each other naked. We don't turn our faces around or anything, but we don't mind even though we can literally see everything.
So why do people especially in the US think its so wierd?

I totally agree with you. Why should we be embarrassed with family nudity? We were born without clothes so whats the problem? My son loves running round "free". My husband and I don't make a big issue of nudity. When my son was younger, we used to wolf whistle at him and now at the tender age of 5, if he is nude he says "look im whut woo" (instead of wolf whistling). We also get dressed in front of him and even keep the door open while having a bath. NUDITY IS NATURAL! As long as there is no abuse involved, FEEL FREE!

I think there is a different in family nudity and what you are describing. We don't walk around our house naked, but we do change in front of eachother. My home holds 4 girls, no boys. If that were the case I might be a little more concerned. But I still change in the presents of my sister and my kids and occationally my mother.
No biggy

I honestly don't know, my daughter has seen both my wife and I naked. My daughter use to shower with me and it was no big deal, she stopped when she was old enough to take a bath on her own. I think it good for the child for the human body is not something to ashamed of, we all have one, so I'm not sure why we have such hang ups.

It depend to the person how his/her think for this matter.For me,
it just very normal thing.I'm don't feel embarrassing if I'm naked
front of my family member.It not weird for a mom/dad taking
shower together with their children.Even I'm already grow up,sometimes I'm still taking shower together with my mom/dad.

Because people in the US live in little bubbles of comfort and the only time they get embaresed is when they have to be naked in front of someone. It's also about comfort. People in the US as I said live in a little bubble of comfort that they don't let anyone pass.

If your daughter is okay with it, then I don't see a problem. Most young people would not be okay with this practice, I don't believe.

In general terms, it's a Biblical thing 'Not looking on a parent's nakedness'
Bit of a difference, a girl viewing her mother's nakedness from viewing her father's, uncle's or brother's.

People are hung up about something innocent and natural. There's nothing wrong with it.

probably casue of all the child abuse, and no one wants to be accused of it, so they frown on it, but in what you said, that is fine, and most all families do it
