Is it OK to be naked in front of your kids? Especially for moms?

You know... As much GAG has lame, repetitive questions, I really like the site when I see questions like this that I feel are really valuable. Anyway, I'm naked a lot around my daughters for short periods. When I have them, I don't lock them out of bathrooms or my room because I want them to be able to get to me if they need me during those periods when they're out of my sight. So, what ends up happening is you end up answering questions mid-stream like "Daddy, why do you stand up when you pee?"

Anyway, I'm very mixed on this subject. I try to strike a balance between making them feel shame over the human body while at the same time, I don't want to walk around them constantly naked. Do I think it's damaging to do so? I can't see how, but I find myself needing to find a balance between the answers demanded by logic and the answers demanded by society.

Young kids, yes. They don't care and you have to watch them.
A teenager is going to complain but will isolate themselves.
Is this question about sexual impropriety or just nakedness?

[lumos]

In Finnish culture it’s completely normal to see your family and friends naked, because we all go to the sauna naked. Of course you can still go to the sauna with a swimsuit on and it’s also normal for women and men to go separately. But being naked is a normal thing and we aren’t easily embarrassed, nor do we see them as a sexual/shameful thing.

I grew up in the US, but my parents are of Scandinavian heritage. We had a sauna and always used it nude. We rarely separated by gender though. I think it's healthy to grow up comfortable with nudity.

[lumos]

@matchrestore agreed. We also sauna together when it’s just the family. With relatives we often separate by gender, except for the kids who often go together and get to choose. The biggest reason why we separate though is because we’d have to split into two groups anyway (the sauna isn’t big enough). And if a girl wanted to join the guys or vice versa, it wouldn’t be odd. I think this sort of openness with nudity is only healthy, we learn that everyone looks different and it’s ok, and that our bodies aren’t shameful.

How old are you children? If their like little children like 1-10, I guess its up to you, Only you know whats best for your children. It depends on their maturity level. younger children might be like " Ewww mommy,"lol. Im the oldest so me personally, I've had to help my mom buckle her bra multiply times, so ehh.

[bente2]

I think it’s ok if you’re the same sex. So mom-daughter and dad-son. I’ve seen my mother naked many times and I don’t mind.

[michellebrown48]

i hate seeingmy parents naked
i guess its ok under like 4 or 5 years old
but no dont do it

[Sucram]

I think it's sexist to differentiate between moms and dads.

Yes, it's ok, if they grow up with it. If they are, like, 10 years already and you suddenly appear naked in front if them it can be a problem.

[Deformate]

I mean its ok if you want to teach your kids that nudity is acceptable. We lead by example so make sure we set a good one to our children. At the end of the day its a morality debate, unique to an individuals morals on the subject at hand.

I hate seeing my mom naked. I wouldn't wanna see my father naked.
I wouldn't want my future children to see me and my husbend naked.

In my country that’s not an issue. I feel people are very close minded and boring conservatives

[Luana1983]

My mother was open with her body, I guess that's why I'm open with mine. We all get raised different ways.

[Red_Arrow]

I agree, but what age of children would you takes that up to?

[Luana1983]

It depends on the maturity of the kids.

[VirginiaBeachBum]

My kids and I used to go to nudist resorts so it was never an issue for us. Nudity does not equate to sex.

[cuttl]

After my dad died, my mom and I spent a lot of summer topless.

[bernicexx]

My family has always been comfortable being nude around each other so not an issue here

[Justin85283]

Do you have siblings?

[matchrestore]

My wife and I are expecting a son, and we plan on being nude around him.

[Dmongun]

I read about how kids grow up more comfortable with their own bodies in that kinda of environment. My parents were naked all the time. No problems for me

[Asker]

Did they naked like nudists or only around the home? And how did it affect your sexual life?

[Dmongun]

Only at home. Sexually it didn't affect me at all.

[Asker]

Thanks and where are you from?

[Dmongun]

Family is Slavic. Grew up in Germany. Live in Canada

[Naughty_Poppins]

Yeah sure it's totally fine. Me & my kids are nudist so we stay completely nude all the time.

[Lutherthesaint]

No. There are worse parents who fuck or kiss in front of kids

[Justin85283]

My family is OK with nudity... we don't make a big deal about it... but I don't tell my friends... my dad watches tv nude a lot... and I've seen my step mom naked a lot...

[joshualarson889]

No
It will make them be sexually attracted to you in the future

[dan111]

[Asker]

[Northwest101]

I see no problems with it. Also, it's none of my business if a parent wants to be naked

[Beewax]

For a 1yr or less.. they don't know what they see yet. But when they know stop it.

[fredrick_27]

Just imagine your kids start to tell their teachers, neighbors, and all people they meet

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No, it's not. My mom and be walking naked sometimes around the house. Not cool.

[Stmarco]

Ha u live with your mom

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Stmarco: No, but when I be at her house to visit.

[Stmarco]

And see... her... bday suit?

[jakeofalltrades]

I wouldn't say it was wrong but you don't need to be doing it often

[cocopro]

Once the kids hide their nudity (around 7 or so) try not to show yourself naked anymore. But no need to make a drama out of it
