Re: Spinoff to Showering - at what age is it inappropriate to...
I change in front of my boys and they are almost 2. Acutally I thought about it today whether I should stop, but honestly they barely notice and I figure they will have to learn at some point what is under a woman's clothes.
My brother showers with his kids, which is not for us - though it would make things so much easier!

I certainly would never want my daughter to see my DH naked!
This surprises me a little - I mean my DD sees my DH naked, like I said its pretty normal in our house. I don't think she knows what a P3NIS is - or even that she has seen one...to her it's just mommy and daddy and thats that.
I am totally open to other opinions since I am sure most people don't agree with me...so I am curious what fear you would have about a girl seeing her father naked at such a young age?
I agree Jen, we don't run around screaming that we are naked and pointing out our privates, but I change in front of her and so does DH. She loves pointing out my boobies and asking me "what happened to them?" but other than that it's just a natural occurrence with us.
My little sisters were brought up the same way with my Dad and stepmother and often times when they arrive home from the beach or something one would jump in the shower with each parent. That stopped when my youngest sister asked,
"why is daddy's tail on the wrong side?"

I have a daughter and I'll be naked around her forever...what's the problem? I still see my Mom naked (even though I wish I didn't lol)....It's not like I walk around naked in front of her, but if I'm getting dressed and she sees something it's not an issue....can't really see it ever becoming an issue.
I am right there with you....
it's just another female body... nothing sexual about it and nothing to be ashamed of.
my mom will still change in front of me, and me in front of my mom...
and as I wrote in another post, my DD who is 20 months (I think I wrote 18 months before- where DID those 2 months go) showers w/ me in the morning b/c it's just the easier way to get ready!

Re: Spinoff to Showering - at what age is it inappropriate to...
My DD is 26mths and she has seen DH and me naked on several occasions mostly because we have a large shower and she will take showers with either one of us. .I am still BF her so she is very familiar with my boobs!
I think I will be naked on front of her until I see her staring or getting uncomfortable and the same goes for my DH. I am pretty conservative about most things but this is something I find to be very natural so I am just going with my instinct.
I never saw my parents naked when I was young but I do remember when I was about 13 sharing a room with my aunt and I was horrified when she undressed on front of me. So I think if I had seen my mom undress on front of me at an early age this might not have been as horrifying as it was - my sisters and I still laugh about the time we saw our aunt m's boobs for the first time.

ITA.. my mom still gets undressed if Im in her bedroom. She's my mom lol.. and Kaila is my daughter.. unless she says "Ew mommy whats that" or something.. I wont be thinking twice about it
*As far as her daddy.. he tries to get away from her and hide in the closet but she always manages to catch him. Never naked.. but always in his undies

Re: Spinoff to Showering - at what age is it inappropriate to...
I have a 14 month old son, and I still do quick changes in front of him and I bring him in the bathroom with me because it's amazing how quick he can get into trouble if left alone for two minutes. I do think that there comes a time when it becomes inappropriate for a son to see his mother naked... I'm not sure when that is, but I'm thinking around 2.

I still shower with my DD - she will be three in sept. She will shower with my Dh too - it's not weird in our house so she doesn't think twice about it.
Although I am certainly not an exhibitionist by any means I don't think it is a big deal at this age. She isn't asking a million questions yet - and even if she were I would answer them. In my personal opinion I think people are too hung up on nudity in this country.
TOTALLY AGREE. I still change in front of Alex, who will be 3 in september, and I see no reason to cover up anytime soon. I think it also opens up the conversation to asking and answering questions about the human body, what each part is and about privacy.
Though, admittedly, DH is very squeamish about this and won't undress in front of her, nor will he even give her a bath (though I think that's just pure laziness)
