@Tanjowen: We haven't let her play in the front yard in just a diaper, but more because there just hasn't been a time where that's happened. I wouldn't flinch seeing a kid playing in a diaper. My kids are usually in various states of undress around the house.
-
Whether of not I would put DS out front in just a diaper is immaterial. Repeatedly making negative comments about someone else's appearance is just plain rude. What are they worried about, their property value?
-
I don't really like to let my own kid out in the yard with just a diaper due to sun exposure. But I probably wouldn't think much of anyone letting their kids play that way. I do think it's weird for someone else to comment on it.
-
No way! And I'm not modest either. There are too many creepy people in this world!
Inside the house with no visitors, anything goes. Outside the house, clothes or a swimsuit! -
Unless your kid is like 16, then why is anyone commenting on it? Weirdos.
-
When it's super hot, yep.
-
Nope, never. Not even at home
-
In the house sure. Outside? Never. But then again I always dress DD nicely when leaving the house. One time DH took her out for a stroll around the neighborhood in PJs and I was totally mortified.
-
Sometimes inside. I wouldn't be opposed to it outside in our yard, but just can't think of a time it happened. But, I don't think it's a big deal and think it's kind of odd your neighbor's were commenting on it.
-
Never. Not even in the house.
There's no particular reason, it just isn't for us.
-
DS is usually 'only' in a diaper after a bath or if I'm in the process of getting him dressed/changed and he runs off. He might make it onto our gated-deck in just his diaper but I probably wouldn't let him run around like that for any longer period of time.
-
Wow, I'm way surprised by the nos! I would and have and will let my kids run around in just a diaper. That does not equal naked to me in the slightest!
-
I hate the just-diaper look but it has happened inside the house and in our backyard. We don't do just diapers in the front yard or in public, though. If I saw a kid playing in someone's driveway in just a diaper, I wouldn't think twice...I'd figure the payoff of the tantrum wasn't worth it.
-
I wouldn't do it. Just not for us. I would never dream of saying anything to anyone else who does...but I might wonder what's the deal.
-
We don't do it, but I would never comment on it. I live in a city so it would seem strange I think.
-
Only inside or on the beach, but I don't think it's a big deal. I just don't want them to get cold or sunburned.
-
All the time. We spent all last summer at the playground in only diapers bc of the sprinklers and water play areas. One of the perks of being a child, as far as I'm concerned!
-
I wouldn't care!
-
@Tanjowen: Not to that point yet but yes, I certainly would. If anyone had a problem with that they can get a life.
-
This will be our first summer when DD is old enough to "run around" so I don't know yet if we'd do this, but I don't really see why we'd have an issue. Lots of people set up kiddie pools out front on the sidewalk or courtyard when it's hot - nobody has A/C so kids are wearing as little as possible during any heatwaves that may hit.
I also wonder if there's a difference for people who use cloth diapers. I had DD in nothing but a cloth diaper for most of last summer when it was 85+ inside and outside, and it seemed a lot closer to actual clothing than a paper diaper does.
Regardless, your neighbors harping on it was weird and rude.

I have a reflux baby, who throws up constantly! So if we're at home he's only in a diaper. Inside or out.
