My daughter walked into my bedroom today after I got off work. I am a nurse and had to work late last night. She was talking to me on the bed, and I needed to change clothes but she would not leave. I rarely wear underwear and my daughter did not know that, and I was wearing my scrubs. I needed to change so I just stripped out of my scrubs, and changed into some jeans and a t-shirt. I thought I guess she is old enough to know now. Well she found out. She said "Mom, you are not wearing underwear". I told her, "I never do. It is more comfortable without them for me." It was a little embarrassing to say the least because it was also the first time she had seen me naked. When she was very young, I could walk around the house naked and did not have to be so cautious. Now it is just us girls around the house. She said that she might try going without underwear, too. I told her that it is her decision, and that she could try it. Am I wrong for letting this happen and being more open?

Thanks to all of your support. I spoke to my daughter today. She has tried going without her panties and really likes it. She gave me a hug today thanking me for helping her find out about this. I am so proud of her. She said that she wants to be more open with me. I think we are going to become so much closer now. I told her that she can borrow my clothes anytime if she needs them, and she told me I could borrow hers if I want. Not sure how I am going to look in Abercrombie or American Eagle jeans?? LOL.... anyway, I wanted to give everyone an update.

I know a lot of people feel that children should not see their parents (even of the same sex) naked but as long as you have a healthy matter of fact attitude about clothing and underwear there is no harm.
Personally if I was wearing a skirt I'd want to wear underwear to help ward off drafts, but with pants I sometimes do the same thing to avoid pantie lines and I can't stand the thought of wearing a thong.
I'm a mom of two teenagers

I do not think this was wrong. She is going to see other females naked if she takes gym. My girls remember seeing me without my clothes on. It didn`t seem to hurt them, and they are comfortable with their bodies. Suggest she try it at home to "see" if she is comfortable with it.
