I would be very uncomfortable with being around a naked 5 year old girl and various parents. I agree with @Smurfette: - you don't know the backgrounds truly of other parents and I just think by that age, kids should be taught appropriate and inappropriate times/places to be naked.
-
Laugh.
-
If it was toddlers / preschoolers I wouldn't be bothered, nor of it was hot and the kids were outside with the hose but otherwise I think clothes are the way to go.
-
It wouldn't bug me.
-
@Kemma: agreed.
My daughter takes her pants off (leaves undies on) the second she gets home from school. The other day she was playing with a neighbor and got naked. They were changing in and out if dress up clothes by themselves and they ran out naked a few times. We just laughed. But they are 2.5.
-
I'd laugh. I don't see what the dad of other kids is like having anything to do with it?
-
Meh, not really a big deal to me. As long as they are potty trained, it wouldn't concern me.
-
@HabesBabe: yeah that confused me too- why is it a child's issue to control men's thoughts by clothing herself? And a perv is a perv regardless of how a child dresses, if that's what the whole dad thing even means.
-
No biggie. I think our society is far too conservative about nudity. It might feel a bit strange to me I will admit but I don't think the parents should have to justify how their kids act in their home so long as they aren't expecting your kids to do the same thing.
-
I think it would bother me at that age. I feel like they should know when it's appropriate or not at others have said, it's not just about protecting then from adults, but kids sometimes abuse other kids. It's a sad reality.
This reminds me of a visit to my DH's old house and roommates a few years ago. The old roommates were having a party on the front porch. The yard was fenced in and overlooked a busy intersection and was right near an EL stop. One roommate's 3 year old son came outside completely bottomless (and shoeless). He started wandering around in the front of the house, in full view of all the strangers on the street! It made me so upset - not to mention the mom was drinking and barely paying attention.
-
If they were like 2 or under it wouldn't bother me and I wouldn't say anything. But 3 and 5??? FIVE?? I mean, no. That's weird and I would feel uncomfortable. I'd probably say something, as awkward as that would be.
-
It's a little weird that the oldest is five. But like, three and younger? Wouldn't faze me at all, though we don't generally do naked time at our house (we live in CT and it's too cold for that shit, lol).
Now the naked wrestling? Would make me uncomfortable.
-
If they were in diapers/undies that's one thing. If they were 3 and under and butt naked I'd suggest they at least but something on to cover their bits. At 5.. that is so inappropriate. At 5 you know you shouldn't be naked in front of non-family members. Gross.
-
@HabesBabe: @erinpye: I used the Dad as an example because my friend (Mom of the naked kids) said the Dad was over for the playdate and she couldn't believe that he was so uncomfortable with it and made a couple comments. My point here, was she doesn't know his (or if it was a Mom's) background so letting my kids get naked in front of a stranger would not happen.
@meredithNYC: the 3 yr old got naked at another friend's house and pooped all over the floor and then peed on the couch. So wrong....... -
@Smurfette: oh my God, no!!! And the parents haven't learned their lesson? I would be sooo embarrassed if my kid pooped on someone's furniture.
-
@meredithNYC: well we haven't had a get together at someone's house after the pooping time. The next time was at their house and their kids were running naked still.
-
@Smurfette: that's really strange, I'd think after that incident they would at least put the little boy in diapers? It doesn't seem like he's ready to be out of them, or maybe he was just having a bad day but should have something on just in case.
I'm not sure I'd be bothered by no clothes because they're still pretty little, but it seems very unsanitary. Can't they at least wear undies? I'd be really uncomfortable letting anytime sit on our furniture naked - we clean it and wash the covers, but you can only clean it so much, our couch and some other furniture were victims of pee, poopsplosions and spit up in DS's baby days, and we sometimes sit down in outdoor clothes which could have all kinds of germs on them.
-
@Mama Bird: I agree. Put them in undies at least. Heck my LO likes to take her clothes off, but we are home and she wears a diaper. but when she is potty trained, she will wear undies at least.
