Nakedness!
A bit random but interested to know how you feel about being naked around your LOs.
DH and I wander around naked upstairs without a second thought (er, not just randomly, in the morning or when showering or whatever) and Lily is usually just pottering around upstairs with us, or kneeling up against the shower banging on the glass, lol. I also go to the loo in front of her all the time - she follows me and I don't want to shut a door in her face!
Just for general discussion purposes, when do you think this becomes inappropriate, if at all? (I am still perfectly happy to wander around naked in front of my own mum, though def not my dad!)

We did have to draw the line when she tried to pull daddy;s willy in the bath once though.
i will always be happy to be naked in front of the girls and i hope they will be in front of me as i still do infront of my sister and my mum and also quite happily change in communal rooms at swimming pool etc. i accept though that there will be a point that dh will prob feel uncomfortable about it maybe?
He prob sees less of my DH naked as I'm usually the one looking after him. I don't know about when it becomes inappropriate depends on your thinking. But I doubt Isaac would want to see me wandering around naked when he's gets to his teenage years!! Hmmm, I suppose it's different for mums of boys and girls!
Regarding all the awkward questions that will be coming my way soon, I would be honest and give simplified answers as naomi says. I wouldn't want my children to feel embarrased about being naked and bodies in general. xx
Anyway I've just gone off the point. I can remember my dad being naked in front of my sister and I until we were about 10. It was never really an issue. How else do children learn? I'd rather they asked me and my Oh about it then their friends on the playground. The only time my OH turns away from Abby is when he is "greeting the new morning" if you get my drift. :roll: As he looks after her on Fridays and Sat morning Abby has to go to the bathroom with him anyway. He won't pee in front of me but has no issues in front of Abby - is that weird? She did try to grab it once but that's just curiousity and luckily he moved away just in time - my friend has his pulled nicely by his son a month or so back. He spent the next 5 mins curled up on the bathroom floor with his wife in hysterics.
And as Naomi says I change in the mother and baby room at the gym after swimming in front of other people's children every week and these include boys up to 8 years old. Abby has occasionally been into the men's changing rooms with my OH so I suppose she's seen other men's penises as well.

she likes 2 poke daddys willy when she's in the bath with him so i think he's starting 2 get a bit fed up of baths with her n the point that comes when she's lulled him into a false sense of security then goes "owwwww" at the top of her voice n gives it a good poke b4 he can move!! ha ha ha ha i think its hilarious though!!
she likes 2 poke my boobs 2 n says "boobies" n "bum" quite a lot (slightly off topic but i had 2 leave the room the other day when we were in the dr's waiting room n she heard a girl say "i had an injection in my bum" n sat in her pram shouting "BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM" n refused 2 stop, i couldnt stop laughing lol)
amyway, i am quite happy to be naked, pee etc infront of her but i hate bein naked infront of my OH so i dont think ur OH is weird blondefriend lol.
I think once she gets 2 puberty then i'll prob stop gettin naked infront of her but if i still feel comfortable with it n she's not bothered then i may just continue 2 be liberated n naked round her!!
