I think it depends on the family. What may be normal for one family may not be normal for another. My family was not a "naked family" when I was growing up, but my husband's was.
So it would not have been normal for my siblings to see me naked, maybe my sister in the locker room or bathroom on occasion but not just hanging around nude. However, my husband's family would be naked around the house on a regular basis, so it was "normal" for his family for his sisters and brothers to see each other nude. Even the parents would be nude just sitting around the house. It took some getting used to but now I know its just how they are.

Of course they did. I was a baby, I needed to have my nappy changed. After that, not really unless I was being stripped because I got dirty. Like fell in a puddle or something. Never saw me completely nude though.
My oldest, younger sister- yes.
Brother, no. { That'd be weird }
Nope.
Well when we were really small we'd bathe together. Also at one point when we were like in the 5-8 or something like that, we'd play naked in our garden and paint each other with various berries.. Ah childhood.. ^.^
I stood on top of the family car at the market with my pants around my ankles at the age of 10 on a dare by my siblibgs sitting in the car. Good enough?

I don't have personal experience, as I'm an only child. I have three sons, though, and they were all allowed to be naked around the house, with just family over, until each one just stopped on his own.
Nudity within a family -- particularly for kids -- is normal for those people who were raised that way, and only "weird" for people who as children were admonished to cover up, as though it were intrinsically "wrong" (indecent, inappropriate, whatever) for family members to see them naked. It isn't.
My perception is that this hang-up is very much a North American thing -- specifically, in the US and Canada. (And I think in the US there are regional variations as well: I live in New England, one of the more prudish parts of the county, given its puritanical history.) My understanding is that in most of Europe and Asia, non-sexual nudity within a family is viewed as very normal, and not at all taboo -- a non-issue, really.
A lot of people in our society have trouble accepting that a situation which is uncomfortable for them may be perfectly comfortable for other people.
I strongly believe that the open, relaxed attitude about nudity within a family is the much healthier mindset. I am not trying to force my feelings onto others; however, I strongly object when the people with the more uptight, inhibited mentality treat their view as the "normal" one, and put down as "weird" the families whose members are comfortable with sometimes seeing each other naked.Yes, my brothers are all older than me and the oldest was enough so that he was expected to help Dad with us kids. Mom passed when I was little. So while dad was at work, oldest bro was frequently in charge of baths and getting the rest of us into bed.
Yes my older sister would comment on the size of my penis and tell me I was a freak. It wasn't until I got older that I realised what I have is a good thing. I got even by walking to my room from the shower totally naked when some of her friends were over giving them all a clear view.
I live in a nudist family. It's very normal for me to see and be seen by my whole family, no matter what we are doing. I realize most people do not see this as normal. My siblings and I are all very healthy and happy and seem to have good relationships with other people so my opinion is, maybe it's better.
Haha of course. We took baths together and shit all the way up to puberty. Not like it's inappropriate when you're both young and innocent.
Yes, both of my parents were "seasonal nudists" during summer @ their vacation home.
We were all nude there.Depends on the age difference, and the age. After puberty, it gets weird.
Yeah, I think it's normal for family to see each other naked when they live together
When my brother and I were babies, we would bathe together. I don't remember any of that because I was 2. Otherwise, no.
Yes and a lot of time. All naked or just with my underwear, when I change, etc... Nothing weird we're the same family so
When we were younger, sure, we saw each other.
Yeah because were both sisters.
why would that be weird?
Only when I was super young.
nope they never did
No I made sure :)
