I think it's fine for him to bathe with Mr. Bee but he has lots of questions and is very curious so I'm never naked in front of him anymore!</p> <p>I don't care in front of Olive, but I'm never naked in front of her either or she will ask to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1336967 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 21:31:54 +0000 MsMamaBear 1336967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: LMBO!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1336032 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:34:12 +0000 tequiero21 1336032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I'll change in front of them, like pants of stuff, but I got my undies on. I'll change shirts but slip a bra on first. I take showers at night when they are already asleep.</p> <p>@Snowdrop: not really making an issue, just not doing it. Not like we are saying, o u can't be naked of anything. Never felt comfy taking shower with the kids. I still remember taking a shower with my dad. Can't remember how old, but it's kinda gross now that I think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335717 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:23:42 +0000 Bookish 1335717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh.. I haven't thought about it much. I actually thought it would bother me to be naked around her much more than it does (I grew up in a very body-conscious family) so I guess until it makes her uncomfortable? And maybe age 3-4 for DH? </p> <p>@Snowdrop: It had a negative impact on me growing up, which is why I'm hoping to not make it a big deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335699 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:20:56 +0000 Greentea 1335699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is never and will never be naked in front of dd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335687 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:17:07 +0000 looch 1335687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMamaBear: my son exclaimed that I have a sticker on my back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335678 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:15:07 +0000 MrsTiz 1335678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: well right now he's little, so he's not barging in on me so it's not so hard haha. He's never in the bathroom, so I take a shower, dry off &amp; then come out in my towel and then get dressed. I don't typically leave him in my room when I take a shower, but if I do, he's asleep. I don't mind him seeing me changing clothes, bra &amp; undies on type changing. I don't hide from him or anything but I just make it a point not to interact with him when I'm naked. I sleep with no shirt/bra on, but when I go feed him in the middle of the night I throw a shirt on first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335637 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:07:11 +0000 daniellemybelle 1335637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: What do you do with him when you are getting dressed, getting in &amp; out of the shower, etc.? Do you intentionally leave the room / put him in a different room just because you're naked? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335329 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:25:26 +0000 MrsTiz 1335329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're never naked in front of him, he's 3 months. Not our thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335326 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:24:03 +0000 travelgirl1 1335326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH isn't comfortable with being naked in front of LO and never has been. She's with me all the time so sees me in various states, lol, but I hope by about 3/4 that will stop. I was totally grossed out by seeing my parents nude when I was a kid.</p> <p>As an aside, my little sister once grabbed hold of my dad's bits and yelled "what's this?" Ha ha. I think my dad was more careful to cover up after that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1335246 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:07:50 +0000 MsMamaBear 1335246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now, she's 2. I'm not a nudist, lol, but getting out of the shower, she sometimes comes in the bathroom to ask me something. Plus she asked what my tattoo was. :shocked: LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334497 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 06:49:26 +0000 Snowdrop 1334497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would actually think that purposefully covering up and making an issue out of naked bodies would have more of a negative impact. Like sexualising something that isn't sexual. It's what I think when I see bikini tops for little ones or 'sexy' grown up style outfits. I don't have any yet, but I am ttallyok with bring naked whilst DH is just not so I imagine we will just do whatever comes natural to us, I be naked and he will cover up. No big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334480 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 06:35:51 +0000 Andrea 1334480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: she was definitely only referring to parent/child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334449 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 06:03:19 +0000 daniellemybelle 1334449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, those of you who are never naked in front of your kids... Do you never get dressed or anything in the same room? I have a 11 week old &amp; she is with me constantly. I don't just hang out in the nude but of course I have to be get dressed &amp; undressed! I imagine I would continue that until she really understands/cares? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334370 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 01:32:42 +0000 sarac 1334370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I think it's a shame that a doctor would tell anyone that the simple sight of a naked adult could adversely affect development. That seems like some real projection of their own issues, to be honest. People have been naked around each other since the dawn of time, and most of them turned out just fine. Naked people do not warp children's minds. </p> <p>My family has a lot of naked time - we border on nudest level over here. Our decision was that we would start covering up more when any one of us feels uncomfortable. As a kid, my husband's father would be naked around his family, and at some point they (as teenagers) asked him to cover up. He refused, and they hated that, so any one person's comfort/discomfort will be our line. </p> <p>We welcome questions about anatomy from our toddler as a good way to learn about anatomy. I've also really appreciated the chance to talk about boundaries and about how our bodies are personal things that we each get to be in charge of - having those issues come up naturally seemed a lot better to me than bringing them up randomly. My daughter has a really healthy sense of privacy, what parts are and aren't ok to touch, when and around whom we can be undressed. I think she's really benefited from it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334134 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:54:26 +0000 BoogieBea 1334134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I wonder if that means my son and daughter should stop taking baths together too. They are perfectly aware of how they are physically different. They've talked about it while bathing. I find it to be very innocent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334057 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:29:06 +0000 doodlepoodle 1334057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess probably 4 or 5? I hadn't really thought about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334040 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:25:08 +0000 Andrea 1334040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: haha I know. I would think asking questions would be good!</p> <p>@BoogieBea: yes, same thing! I just put father/daughter since @chopsuey was talking about her DH! And I only have girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334017 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:20:30 +0000 BoogieBea 1334017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: interesting. It's not an issue for mother/son? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1334014 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:19:48 +0000 Arden 1334014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Ha that's so weird. I can't see how asking a questions about anatomy = bad for development. </p> <p>Sometimes I think our pediatrician has no opinions on anything because he always just agrees with me (like, always) but I guess that's better than one with strong opinions about weird things! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333997 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:15:20 +0000 Andrea 1333997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: something about 3 years old as being the age that kids start getting curious about sexuality and have the words to ask more questions. and how seeing her dad naked could adversely impact her sexual development. i can't remember why she thought it would be so bad, but she was very serious about it, so i remember that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333978 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:09:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1333978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha. I was talking to DH about this the other day. We'll still do it until she's old enough to ask questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333941 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:02:14 +0000 tequiero21 1333941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kids don't see me and hubby naked. And I don't think they ever will? I don't feel comfy taking showers with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333929 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:59:19 +0000 BoogieBea 1333929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering too. We don't really walk around naked but we don't close the door completely when we shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333901 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:51:55 +0000 Arden 1333901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Really? What did he say? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333893 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:50:51 +0000 lawbee11 1333893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us really walk around naked in front of her. I'll probably bathe with her sometimes when she can sit unassisted, but that'll probably end around 2 or 3. My DH isn't comfortable being naked in front of her even now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333867 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:46:43 +0000 Andrea 1333867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are never naked in front of our kids. Just not us! (I don't think of nursing as being naked.)</p> <p>Our pediatrician gave me a stern talk that nudity should end at 3 for a father/daughter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333838 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:43:43 +0000 brownie 1333838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @arden when someone (him/her, daddy or me) gets uncomfortable with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-stop-walking-around-naked-in-front-of-your-kids#post-1333809 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:39:15 +0000 mamawarrior 1333809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was the only one who does this in front of my 16 month old son!
