Normal for young boys to walk in while opposite sex family is showering or bathing or getting in or out of shower or bath or depends on family?
No. It means there is a lack of boundaries and it shouldn't be happening. Especially if they are of the opposite sex. If somebody is showering, people should be knocking on the door and indicating what they need to do, or simply wait until the person is finished. However, if the person is thoroughly covered in the shower, then it may be okay as long as the person is about to get in and just get out of the bathroom within the minute and no more than that. Overall, in a way, it does depend on the family and what their customs and general rules are for the household, besides the type of home it is. If there is only one bathroom as most apartments and homes have unless you have multiply personal bathrooms. It may be expected since there is only one bathroom.
However, what or who are you asking for? If this is for yourself, then you should know what is and isn't appropriate. Boys should only enter into the bathroom with permission and by knocking before that. Girls should only enter into the bathroom with permission and by knocking before that. Parents should set these rules early on when they are toddlers and children so they understand what is expected of them. This should be a general rule for everyone in the household and for those who are a guess in your home.

I think it's normal. Everybody gets curious at some age
It very much depends on family.
It also very much depends on age.
I have a friend with eight kids and the boys and girls both walking to the bathroom when either one is in the shower or on the toilet and they pay little or no attention to each other.
But that's how they were raised.
It depends on the circumstance I guess.
When I was a child growing up my little sister could walk in on one of us guys but we were not allowed to walk in on her.
Myself I'm a nudist so if you walk in on me while I'm in the shower I'll think nothing of it.
I just think a lot of it depends on the family if they're raised where children are allowed to be nude in front of each other then they don't pay any attention when one of their siblings is naked.
But bring a strange boy or a strange girl in the mix and the girls won't want the strange boy seeing them in the boys won't want the strange girl seeing them but I'm talking about from birth to puberty I wouldn't find it appropriate for children to be walking around in front of each other are walking in on each other once they hit puberty unless the family is a family of nudists but that's just my opinion

Ummm… sure I guess. If he’s not doing something stupid like recording or anything then I guess not maybe.

not normal. not okay. I dont condone hitting children but with things like this. get physical with him this ahs the potential to turn into sexual abuse. ( yes teen boys do SA their sisters, mothers etc. my biological father raped his own mother after she kept letting him get away with things like this) so you need to get physical next time he tries this and i mean hit him in the face hard enough to make him not forget it.

One time when I was about 14-15 I was taking a shower and my mom's friend came in the bathroom, I thought it was my brother so I ignored it and I was about to get out and dry off. However, as soon as I started to open the shower curtain she was like, "Hey I'm in here, wait a minute, I'll be out in a sec..." As she was touching up her makeup in the mirror. Well I turned the water back on and started jerking off, I never thought of her sexually before that, but I was so turned on in that moment. It was a weird time. Haha.

Not limited to young boys, girls may walk in too.
My kids are older now, but both son and daughter occasionally would see their parents naked, maybe in bed, maybe in the shower. It's natural (and normal) for kids to learn about the human body. Shouldn't be embarrassing for anyone.
They may have questions about what they see. A daughter might ask, for example, what's that thing between daddy's legs, and why don't I have one? It's important to answer their questions honestly and truthfully, using terms they will understand. I would say no, it is not normal. While a husband and wife may use the bathroom together, as may a mother and daughter, sisters or a father and son, any variation outside that area generally crosses boundaries.
Honestly I wouldn’t worry if it’s to go pee or brush their teeth and that’s all, but if they go in every time and start looking I’d be disturbed. And obviously if they are little it’s normal because they just want to be with you and are curious about everything. But yeah, you have to understand that really depend on how you raise them because some kids may grow to be really chaste and shy and some just don’t care

I think it depends on ur family i mean how u guys live along but its not odd though
When i was growing up n even now we dont mind sharing the bathroom n we dont mind walking in or out when one of us is already there -
Depends on the family, but set boundaries in accordance with your comfort level. If there is only one restroom you may need to make some concessions. FTR, we have a lock and literally every time I am in there one of my elementary age boys is trying to get in or pounding on the door. 🙄 They have one track minds.

@singlebimom dont think there is anything wrong with it I think its hot
Depends on the family tbh. Some family are open and encourage nudity as 'normal' and not something to be ashamed of.

Didn't have sons and grew up on a houseful of girls, no boys.. but no it isn't normal.. People should knock or wait if bathroom is occupied whether occupied by same sex/opposite sex..
-
If you don't lock the door and there's only one bathroom, seems likely that kids will be walking in and out of the bathroom. SOLUTION: Tell everyone mom or dad is in the shower, go to the toilet NOW because door will be locked for the duration.
Mom or dad need privacy and unless it's an emergency, ... they can wait until mom or dad get a towel and leave. -
Is it normal for a child to WANT to see an opposite sex family member naked… HELL NO! Does it happen all the time, yes! I suggest the onus is on the person IN the bathroom to LOCK the door, because when a kid has to pee, they don’t really care about who may be in there, they just want to pee!

It depends on age, family and what gender. I mean I have asked to go to the bathroom because I really really had to go. My older brother was showering so instead he just stayed in the shower with the curtains.

Seemed pretty normal in my family pre-teenage years.
I think it's normal for boys to want to see naked females and they will try to get away with whatever they can to accomplish it.
I think it depends on the family and how young the boys are. But I don't necessarily see anything "wrong" with this (or girls coming in on guys), provided the other person is ok with it and not uncomfortable. If they are and they do it anyway, then it's a respect issue and yes a problem. But if nobody cares (ie nudist mentality, general nudity is "normal"), then it shouldn't be an issue in my opinion.

There's an age that young boys shouldn't come in on someone in the shower or bath
I would say age 8 for both male/ female cause there is girls age 9 having their menstrual cycles so there needs to be cut off age that no one to use the bathroom
or come on somebody just to be funny in that instance they need a talk or two
examples: Do not go in on your sister while showering, now no TV or go to your bedroom? We all need to know -
My brother always says on me whether showering or changing.

It's normal. There's nothing wrong with nudity within a family, and it's better children get a realistic idea of what bodies look like than seeking that information from the internet.

Depends on the family. When I was growing up and still NEVER! In my girlfriend's family? EVERYONE ALL THE TIME! NO locks; NO closed doors!
